“The attack on the White House is a clear reminder that violence has no place in democracy,” Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a post.

The prime minister, expressing relief that Donald Trump, his wife and other attendees are safe, says such incidents cannot be tolerated.

At the same time, he makes it clear that the protection of democratic institutions is not a matter for discussion or compromise.

The Prime Minister’s full post:

“The attack on the White House correspondents’ dinner is a clear reminder that violence has no place in democracy. It’s comforting that @POTUS, the First Lady and all attendees are safe, but such incidents can never be tolerated. Protecting democratic institutions is not negotiable.”
