Street clashes, Merz: “Violence is never an option, avoid polarization.”

Frankfurt (Germany), 22 Oct. (LaPresse) – “When we face protests in the EU or here in the region, violence must never be an option for either side. Divisive rhetoric or growing polarization will not lead to a safer, freer, and more prosperous Europe, and history will not judge favorably those who fuel divisions in these complex times.” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made this statement in his speech at the Berlin Process leaders’ summit, underway in Budva, Montenegro, as reported by Anadolou. “We all see protests in the region and in our countries, and these protests, dear colleagues, send us a clear message,” Merz added.
