Sorrow and Solidarity with the People of Vienna
The motion
That the Parliament expresses its deep sorrow and solidarity with the people of Vienna following the news that at least four civilians were killed and 17 others injured in a series of shootings across six locations in central Vienna on the evening of 2 November 2020; believes that the incident started near the Seitenstettengasse synagogue when a heavily armed man opened fire on people outside cafes and restaurants; understands that seven of the victims have life-threatening injuries and hopes for their recovery; notes that the Interior Minister, Karl Nehammer, said that Austria had “experienced an attack from at least one Islamist terrorist”; believes there is no place for any form of hatred and violence against others, and condemns this despicable terrorist attack.
