Official statement condemning the terrorist attack on La Rambla
18 August 2017 - Democracy
Aquest dijous s’han perpetrat a Catalunya un seguit d’atemptats terroristes que han provocat desenes de víctimes. A la Rambla de Barcelona, gent de moltes nacionalitats i de totes les edats, persones i famílies que passejaven i gaudien de la nostra ciutat, han resultat ferides i mortes.
