The Solidarity Movement mourns the death of American activist Charlie Kirk

The Solidarity Movement expresses its deepest condolences following the tragic assassination of the conservative American political activist, Charlie Kirk (31).

Charlie, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Turning Point USA, an influential conservative youth organisation, was shot and killed on stage during an event at Utah Valley University.

We extend our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to his family, friends, and all who loved him. Millions of people around the world are mourning this unexpected and tragic loss.

Charlie was a friend of the Afrikaner – a strong advocate for cooperation, dialogue, and political engagement. In this dark time, we are reminded of how precious political tolerance is; that differences must be treated with respect, and that a peaceful society should never be taken for granted.

May his family find comfort and strength and may we all continue to build on the example of tolerance and humanity that Charlie stood for.

The Solidarity Movement stands united with all those who are mourning in this difficult time.
