Premier Giorgia Meloni on Thursday
blasted the "blind violence" of two deadly attacks that took
place in Spain and Germany on Wednesday.
Two people were killed and several were injured when a
knife-wielding Palestinian launched an attack on a train
travelling between the German cities of Kiel and Hamburg.
A man was killed and other people were injured by a man who
attacked them with a machete in churches in the Spanish port of
Algeciras.
The Spanish authorities have said the attack, reportedly staged
by a Moroccan man, could be terrorism-related.
"Brutal acts and blind violence have again hit Europe," Meloni
said in a statement.
"I express my closeness and solidarity and that of the Italian
government to Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Prime Minister Pedro
Sánchez after the attacks that caused death and pain to unarmed
citizens in Germany and Spain.
"We must keep up our guard against people and movements that
want to destroy our societies and attack us for what we are".
