GUE/NGL condemns in the strongest possible terms the barbaric attacks at Las Ramblas in Barcelona on Thursday. 

We send our heartfelt condolences to the victims and their families, and our sympathies to the people of Catalonia and Spain during this difficult time. 

Europe has once again come under attack by those who wish to divide us. Our message to them is simple: hatred will never prevail and our resolve to stand in solidarity against hate remains as strong as ever.
