Brussels/Rome, 20 December 2016 - “I am profoundly shocked and saddened at the appalling attack against innocent people at a Christmas market in Berlin”, said Mr Paolo Alli, President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

Once again, terrorists have shown what they truly stand for: a complete disregard for civilised values and human life."

"On behalf of all the members of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, I would like to stress our solidarity with the German people. I would also like to offer our profound sympathy to the families and friends of the victims of this callous attack.
