the european parliament declined a request for a moment of silence to honor conservative activist Charlie Kirk following his assassination. The proposal, made by Swedish MEP Charlie Weimers during a plenary session in Strasbourg, was rejected on procedural grounds because the request was not submitted before the session began, as required by parliamentary rules. This decision led to protests from right-wing lawmakers.The Parliament’s vice president<\/a>, Katarina Barley, explained that moments of silence are arranged only at the opening of sessions, with the next session scheduled for October. The refusal sparked criticism from conservative members, who contrasted it with the Parliament’s previous moment of silence for George Floyd in 2020. Kirk was fatally shot at a Utah university event, prompting a manhunt for the suspect, with the FBI actively seeking public assistance.His death has drawn widespread condolences, including from former President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
