Iraq: Statement by the Spokesperson on the unfolding events in Baghdad
The EU is concerned about the ongoing protests and their potential escalation in Baghdad. We call on all parties to exercise restraint to prevent further violence.
We invite political forces to solve issues through a constructive political dialogue within the constitutional framework.
While the right to peaceful protest is essential to democracy, laws and state institutions have to be respected.
