EFD Senior Fellow Valentina Colombo comments on the New Year’s Eve attacks in Cologne and other European cities. She references the sexual assaults during the Tahrir square protests in 2011 and compares them to the New Year’s Eve attacks. Valentina states that the cultural and social backgrounds of the men involved are the same.
