Mr. Speaker, the reaction to the horror of this morning's deadly attacks in Spain is outrage. More than 180 people are dead and one thousand injured. It is unbearable to see beautiful downtown Madrid rocked by a series of explosions.
Described as monstrous by the United Nations, the “worst act of terror in memory in any EU state” by the European Parliament, and barbaric by the Council of Europe, this morning's attacks in Madrid on the eve of an election have shocked the world.
The Bloc Quebecois wants to express its sorrow and solidarity with the people of Spain and the families struggling with the tragic impact of this criminal act.
