He Pope Leo XIV condemned it Monday, June 30 What hunger How “War weapons“
In a message aimed at the annual conference of participants in the organization UN For food and agriculture (FAO), Leo XIV made it clear that “the murder of the population is a very cheap way to make a war.”
In his difficult speech, he said that the “constant tragedy of hunger and general malnutrition” “is even more sad and shameful,” because “the Earth is able to produce sufficient food for everyone,” while considering “deprived of the movement from words to facts”.
“The key to victory over hunger lies more in the section than in the accumulation of food. Something, that perhaps today we forgot, because although there were some appropriate steps, world food security does not cease to deteriorate, ”the pontiff explained.
This “is becoming more and more unlikely by the goal of the“ zero hunger ”of the agenda on 2030” and “means that we are far from the mandate that gave rise to this interdorfrege in 1945,” he said to the UN agency that cares about the fight against hunger in the world.
And he continued: “The constant tragedy of widespread hunger and malnutrition, which remains in many countries today, is even more sad and shameful when we understand that although the Earth is able to produce sufficient products for all people, and, despite international food security obligations, unfortunately, so many poor people in the world continue to not have enough our bread in every bottom.”
He also condemned that in “we currently visited the wicked use of hunger as a weapon of war” and added that “hunger for the population is a very cheap way to enter the war.”
“That’s why today, when most of the conflicts are not liberated not by ordinary armies, but by groups of civilians armed with a small number of resources, burning land, stealing cattle, and tactics that are increasingly used by those who intend to control the internal population,” he explained.
Therefore, he urged “the world to accept clear, recognizable and agreed restrictions on authorizing these abuse and persecution of their causes and performers.”
Given these situations, a pontiff with double American and Peruvian citizenship said that “to unapertively move from words to facts.”
And place “in the center of effective measures that allow these people to look with confidence at their present and future and serenity, and not just with resignation, which gives time to the slogans and promises of the Joker.”
In this regard, he added: “We must not forget that sooner or later we will have to give explanations to future generations that will receive an inheritance of injustice and inequality, if we do not act now.”
In another passage of the message, Leo XIV also condemned that “social injustice caused by natural disasters and the loss of biodiversity should be changed to achieve a fair environmental transition, which already puts people in the center and people.”
Without certain and coordinated climatic actions, it will be impossible to guarantee agro -food systems that can feed the growing population of the world. The production of food is not enough, it is also important to provide sustainable food systems and provide healthy and affordable diets for everyone, ”he said.
He also criticized that “financial resources and innovative technologies for eradicating poverty and hunger in the world devoted their production and trade in weapons.”
“Previously, this has never been as now, when we become artisans of the world working for it for the common good, so this contributes to everyone, and not only some, otherwise always alone,” he said.
And he emphasized to FAO that “to guarantee peace and development, understanding how improving the living conditions of the population that suffer from hunger, war and poverty, specific actions based on serious approaches and with a vision of the future” and “leave a sterile rhetorical margin”.
