During a recent Tuesday, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, expressed criticism of the plans of the administration of US President Donald Trump. According to him, the proposals of the American leader are seen as 'egoistic' and unjust. 'While we all understand that each country has the right to safeguard its interests and security, this must occur in accordance with international obligations,' the cardinal emphasized.
The criticism was made during Parolin's speech at a conference in Rome, where he also underscored the necessity of respecting human rights and established conventions. The cardinal expressed concern about plans that could lead to the closure of borders for refugees and immigrants.
Proposals made by Trump's administration are causing concern in the international community, including the Catholic Church, which has always adhered to the principles of fairness, mercy, and respect for every person. Parolin emphasized that the Holy See is monitoring these events and is doing everything possible to prevent violations of humanitarian principles and international law.
