| Europeans are all Madrileños now |
| 2004-03-17 |
| The Tufts Daily - EFL / Fair Use by Sarah Dalglish On Monday at noon, Paris stood still. The flags of official buildings were lowered to half-mast, the buses stopped in the streets, and the Parisians were silent for three minutes in remembrance of the victims in the next capital over. Though nowhere else has been as wounded as Spain, all of Europe has seemingly felt the ache of March 11. The aftermath of the attacks has seen a collective mourning that has surprised even Europeans, for though the continent has been integrated in important ways over the past decade, national mentalities have never yielded to a truly European spirit. On the eve of the biggest enlargement in the European Union’s history, and in the wake of the worst terrorist attack the continent has never known, such a European spirit has begun to coalescence. From Dublin to Parma to Copenhagen, Europeans participated in symbolic protests, moments of silence, and other tributes to the more than 200 victims in Madrid. The Spanish themselves have reacted like Americans did after Sept. 11, by showing their solidarity and their identification with the families who were affected. ...More... Americans also send their heartfelt sympathy to the families and friends of the victims. |
