Commitment to peace, politics as a service to the Last, Defense of Creation. To flow the words of the high institutional positions and the leaders of the parties, these are the ‘pillars’ of the pontificate of Pope Francis who have marked the world of politics more deeply.
Politics deeply shaken by the death of the Holy Father, as the Flags at half auction At Palazzo del Quirinale, at Palazzo Chigi, in Montecitorio and Palazzo Madama. “Pain and emotion” expresses the head of state by emphasizing that the teaching of Pope Francis “recalled to the evangelical message, to solidarity between men, the duty of closeness to the weakest, international cooperation, peace in humanity”.
Hence the warning of President Mattarella: “The gratitude towards him must be translated with the responsibility to work, as he has constantly done, for these objectives”. For the President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa, “his commitment to dialogue, peace and attention to the last will remain a precious legacy”.
And Lorenzo Fontana also focuses on “his words of peace, the gestures of mercy and the constant reference to the brotherhood between the peoples” who “will remain a lighthouse for future generations”. The Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, focuses on the most human aspect of a pontiff with whom he could speak “with great simplicity, it was like talking to his parish priest”.
Even the fact that Pope Francis “reached the father’s house” on the angel Monday appears to President Meloni as a further message: “It is as if he had wanted to fulfill his task until the last few days”.
Even the leader of Italy Viva captures in yesterday’s “journey” on the Papamobile a symbol: “Francesco leaves us in yesterday’s embrace in St. Peter’s Square. Yesterday his last journey with the Papamobile is the symbol of his life among his people, to his people. Both in those who believe, and in those who do not believe the Argentine Pope leaves a deep trace”.
The reference to the “return to the father’s house” unites the messages of condolence of the premier and vice presidents of the Council. “Pope Francis reached the father’s house”, reiterates Matteo Salvini and so also Antonio Tajani. For the Foreign Minister “politics as a service, the fact that politicians must be at the service of the people, of the last, a message that we must remember every day, every morning”.
The secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, also focuses on this aspect of the pontificate of Francesco: “It was the Pope of the last, of the marginalized, the Pope of social justice and commitment for the planet: his powerful message of peace and fraternity will remain a durable imprint of closeness”, underlines the leader dem committing to carry on “the commitment for the poorest”.
And, last of the last, the Pope had particular attention to prisoners, as Riccardo Magi points out. “Just three days ago Bergoglio crossed the Regina Coeli threshold to bring some comfort to the detained people”, Margi recalls: “Until the end Pope Francis was next to the last, who were migrants, prisoners or homeless people”.
The action leader Carlo Calenda reports “his commitment for the weakest, for the dialogue between peoples and for authentic Christianity, an example will remain for everyone”. On peace, a constant object of the prayers of the Pope, the leaders of the center -left focus, starting with Giuseppe Conte: “His stubborn words of peace, dialogue and solidarity at all costs are and will remain a guide for all of us in these difficult times.
Thanks for any teaching, rest in peace “. Prayer on which the leader of the Italian left, Nicola Fratoianni also focuses:” This pontiff has never stopped reminding us how precious peace is and how important it is to save the planet from environmental devastation. Just how it is important to build bridges and not walls among humans, whether they are migrants or that they are of different religious orientation “. And Angelo Bonelli:” He worked until the last for peace, for the last, opposing the rearma that leads only to wars and destruction “.
