The European Union honors the memory of the victims of terrorism.
A press release by the European Commission says that ‘on the European Remembrance Day for Victims of Terrorism we honor the memory of all those who have tragically fallen victims to terrorist acts, whether on EU soil or beyond our borders”.
This year, it adds, holds particular significance as we mark the commemoration of the attack in Madrid two decades ago.
“The memory of the victims will live on. It will serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of terrorism”.
The European Day of Remembrance of Victims of Terrorism was established after the Madrid bombings of 11 March 2004. Each year since 2005, the European Union remembers on this date the victims of terrorist atrocities worldwide.
