A delegation of the Fondazione Mediterraneo has participated in St. Peter’s Square at the vigil of prayer and fasting by Pope Francesco around the world for peace, against war and, especially, to solve the tragic situation in Syria.
President Capasso expressed their praise for the simplicity, the strength and the power of words of Pope Francis.
“At this difficult time - said Capasso - is reason to hope the presence and the initiative of Pope Francis. The simplicity and power of his words awaken the consciences of those who have to decide and, I hope, will help transform the LOVE OF POWER in the indispensable POWER OF LOVE”.
At the G20 summit in St. Petersburg - the traditional meeting that brings together the 20 leaders of the earth - Francis Pope has sent a letter to the current President of the meeting, Vladimir Putin, in order not to take military action in Syria. On 2 and 3 September, Rome and Brussels, an Appeal to President Obama, which was supported by institutions in several countries, was launched by the Fondazione Mediterraneo. The St. Petersburg summit did not give a positive result on this topic and the positions of the U.S. and Russia are far apart.
