The school massacre in Texas, in which an 18-year-old killed at least 19 elementary school children, shook the United States. Politicians around the world expressed their condolences to the families of the victims.
After the school massacre in the small Texas town of Uvalde, in which at least 19 children and two adults died, there were numerous reactions from politicians.
Former US President Barack Obama: “Michelle and I mourn with the families of Uvalde. They are experiencing pain that no one should endure.” He and his wife are also angry, the US Democrat added, criticizing the opposition US Republicans in this regard. “Our country is paralyzed, not by fear, but by a gun lobby and political party that have shown no willingness to do anything to prevent these tragedies,” Obama said.
Pope Francis: “My heart is broken after the Texas elementary school bloodbath. I pray for the children, for the dead adults and for their families.”
Emmanuel Macron: cowardly attack
Ted Cruz, Governor of Texas: “Today is a dark day. We are all completely disgusted and heartbroken. To date, 15 innocent people have died. 14 were children. Others remain in critical condition or are otherwise injured and we are all praying for each of them.”
Hillary Clinton, Former Presidential Candidate: “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. After years of doing nothing else, we are now becoming a nation of desperate cries. We simply need lawmakers willing to stop the scourge of gun violence in America that is killing our children.”
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine: “I am deeply saddened by the news of the murder of innocent children in Texas. Sincere condolences to the victims’ families, the people of the US and @POTUS on this tragedy. The people of Ukraine share the pain of the victims’ families and friends and of all Americans.
French President Emmanuel Macron: “19 victims were under the age of 10. Children and teachers were murdered in a cowardly attack at their school in Texas. We share the shock and sadness of the American people and the anger of those fighting to end the violence.”
Pedro Sánchez: We must end the daily horror
Pedro Sánchez, Prime Minister of Spain: “Shocked by this new school shooting in Texas. I share this heartbreaking speech from Warriors coach Steve Kerr. We must end this daily horror in the United States. Our solidarity and condolences go out to the families and friends of the victims.”
Chancellor Olaf Scholz: “Terrible news reached us this morning from a school in Uvalde, Texas. Our thoughts are with the injured and the bereaved of the victims of this incredible massacre, for which words can hardly be found. Our condolences to you @POTUS and our American friends.”
SPD leader Saskia Esken: “Again, innocent people, yes: children! have become the victims of a violent crime in the USA. They are also victims of those who, against all reason, prevent stricter regulation of gun ownership!”
