Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda on terror attack in Barcelona


Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda issued the following statement on the Barcelona terrorist attack today.

  "...these fanatics ultimately cannot and will not win."

My heart and my prayers go out to the victims and to the families of those killed and injured in Barcelona today.

This apparently was yet another terrorist attack, this time in which the driver of a van plowed into a crowd along a pedestrianized stretch in the heart of a popular tourist section, killing at least 12 people and injuring 80 others.

Today's and recent attacks, many involving vehicles plowing into crowds, in England, France, Germany and other nations are acts of desperation by movements finding themselves growing weaker, not stronger.

We have only to look at history to see that these fanatics ultimately cannot and will not win.
                                                                  
Assemblyman Sepulveda represents the 87thAssembly District covering Parkchester, Castle Hill, West Farms, Van Nest and Stratton Park.
