EU Commissioner for Migration and Internal Affairs; Dimitris Avramopoulos stressed the need for a collective effort to fight radicalization by all means in order to avoid the stigmatization of any community, ethnicity, or origin – whether they are Muslims, refugees, or migrants. The Commissioner was speaking at the European Parliament Plenary Session
Avramopoulos noted that almost all perpetrators of the last attacks on European soil were home-grown. “And religion, any religion, has nothing to do with their acts. Radicalism has. Hate has. Relating terrorism with migration is stirring up hatred and leads to a vicious cycle,” he underlined.
As he said, the Commission has been working for months to put at the disposal of member states the exchange of information, closer cooperation among Law Enforcement Authorities and Agencies, stronger legal framework against terrorism and detection of terrorist threats, effective management of the external borders, stricter rules on firearms, and targeted cooperation with key third countries.
