A chilling assassination has struck a young anti-Brexit Labor MP in Great Britain, in Birstall, on the outskirts of Leeds where she was campaigning: Jo Cox, 41, mother of two small children, was one of Labor's rising stars and was heavily involved in the battle for the UK's permanence in Europe. She was shot and stabbed by a XNUMX-year-old man who was later arrested. The police neither confirm nor deny what was reported by those present at the attack, namely that the attacker said phrases (“Britain first”) typical of far-right formations fighting for Brexit.
As a sign of mourning, all electoral demonstrations were suspended. Unanimous condolences for the assassination of the young British MP. "Hatred will not prevail," Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi wrote to British Prime Minister David Cameron.
