Francis said the global had a selection to make as he left the COVID-19 crisis and was addressing the serious economic effect he had on the global maxim: more solidarity, discussion and multilateralism, or retreat to greater nationalism, individualism. and elitism.
The latter, he said, “would certainly be negative for the community as a whole, causing self-inflicted injury to all. It won’t have to prevail. “

Francis called for fundamental attention to physical fitness for all, reducing, if not canceling, the debt of the world’s poorest countries and reforming the Bretton-Woods monetary institutions, which he says only exacerbated inequalities among the poor.

He reiterated his call to end the doctrine of nuclear deterrence, which he expressed entirely during his 2019 stopover in Japan at the monument to which they suffered the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
“We will have to dismantle the perverse logic that links national and non-public security to gun ownership,” he said. “Nuclear deterrence, in particular, creates a spirit of concern based on the risk of mutual annihilation; in this way, it ends up poisoning relations between peoples and hindering dialogue”.
