Ylva Johansson: The security of EU countries faces enormous risks during the Christmas holidays – 2024-03-31 10:14:21

/ world today news/ With the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the polarization it has caused in the public, EU countries “face a huge risk of terrorist attacks” during the upcoming Christmas holidays. This was stated yesterday in Brussels by the European Commissioner for Internal Affairs Ylva Johansson on the eve of the meeting of the ministers of justice and internal affairs of the EU.

The assessment was based on high levels of risk of terrorist attacks, significant increases in both Muslim hatred and anti-Semitic rhetoric in some countries, as well as recent attacks in Belgium and France, she added.
