For the “hard sincerity of his speech and for the unwavering defense of human rights and social justice” Alexis Tsipras thanked Pope Francis in their meeting today, as stated by the president of SYRIZA-PS in a post on Facebook.
Mr Tsipras said in particular that he had had the opportunity to discuss with the Pope “the hypocrisy of the EU governments towards the human drama of refugees and migrants, where they talk about human rights while building fences and rejecting any legal migration route”. Also “for the spread of inequality, poverty and social exclusion throughout the planet, for the greed of the developed world for the third world, by refusing to lift the vaccine patent that would allow mass vaccination of hundreds of millions of citizens.” “A greed”, emphasizes Mr. Tsipras, “that today he is taking revenge on us, as with the constant mutations of the virus we find that no one can be safe anywhere if not everyone is safe everywhere”.
Finally, Mr. Tsipras thanked Pope Francis for his reference to the Prespa Treaty, noting: “If we could lay a foundation stone for peaceful coexistence and the struggle against nationalism that divides peoples and causes wars and conflicts, on the right side of the story. “
