VISITA PAPA LEÓN XIV | Su primer discurso en España íntegro: "Huir de enfoques identitarios"

In his address to the King and Queen and other top Spanish authorities at the Royal Palace, Leo XIV thanked Spain for “its fidelity to international law and multilateralism, which translates into an active commitment to peace and solidarity among peoples,” referring to the Spanish government's stance on the wars in Iran and Gaza. Earlier, he called on Spaniards to “reconciliation” and to abandon “divisive narratives” and “identity-based approaches.” For his part, King Felipe VI addressed the Church's abuses for the first time. In his welcoming address to the Pope, he stated that “there can be no greater contrast to the Church's social work than the pain caused by cases of abuse” and praised the Pontiff's “clarity and firmness” in the fight against them. Later in the afternoon, Leo XIV will visit a homeless shelter in the Carabanchel district and then preside over a vigil with young people in Plaza de Lima. The Pope will remain in Madrid until Tuesday, when he will depart for Barcelona, ​​where he will stay for two days before traveling to Gran Canaria and then on to Tenerife.
