European Parliament refused to observe a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk, citing protocol

According to The New York Times's September 11, 2025, report, Charlie Weimers, the right-wing member of the Sweden Democrats party, talked about Charlie Kirk and his assassination at a plenary session on Thursday.

Charlie Weimers then requested other members of the European Parliament to join him in a moment of silence. Roberta Metsola, the president of the European Parliament, rejected the suggestion.

She said that in such cases, a member of the Parliament or a political group must submit a request for a moment of silence at the start of the plenary session. The president, Roberta Metsola, must announce the moment of silence as well.

"Mr. Weimers, we discussed this, and you know that the president has denied the request for a minute of silence... Dear colleagues, I am happy to explain it again. The decision to hold a minute of silence is a prerogative of the president," Roberta Metsola stated.

The rejection was met with disagreement from some members of the European Parliament, as they started banging the desks and shouting.

In other news, the baseball team, the New York Yankees, and the football team, the Green Bay Packers, held a moment of silence in honor of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday and Thursday.

The right-wing political commentator's assassination is under FBI investigation. On Thursday, the FBI released pictures of the suspect. The unidentified man wore black glasses, a black cap, a black t-shirt with the US flag and eagle, and jeans. The FBI also released surveillance footage of the man escaping after shooting Charlie Kirk.
