Freedom of speech, of assembly, of travel and, above all, of free life. Europe fully supports them. We unequivocally condemn the violent repression of these legitimate demonstrations. Those responsible will be remembered on the wrong side of history.‘ This was written on X by the President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen. ’We call for the immediate release of all imprisoned protesters.
