Twenty-five years after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, Romanian MEP Rareș Bogdan has issued a message of remembrance and solidarity with the United States. He argues that America’s resilience rests on its collective memory, built across generations by those who sought freedom and a new beginning, and that this memory cannot be defeated by hatred or violence. The message ends with a tribute to the victims and a prayer for the eradication of terrorism.
