Migrants, Pope: "Offer safe and legal lives and respectful welcome"

Madrid (Spain), June 8 (LaPresse) – "The situation of migrants and refugees requires a response that puts people at the centre, addresses the causes that force them to leave and goes beyond the simple management of flows. From this comes a dual need for social justice: to offer safe and legal pathways, respectful reception and real opportunities for integration; and, at the same time, to promote the right to remain in one’s own land, working so that no one has to leave their home due to a lack of peace, security or decent living conditions, due to economic inequalities and the effects of the climate crisis." This was stated by Pope Leo XIV at the Spanish Congress of Deputies.
