Forwarded from PoliticsGR - Geopolitics 🇬🇷🇨🇾🇪🇺
🇬🇷🇻🇦 Kyriakos Mitsotakis published a statement reacting to the loss of the Pontiff:
📝 Iefimerida
🗺️ @PoliticsGR
The faithful of the Roman Catholic Church mourn the loss of their religious leader and the ubiquitous Christians are involved in their mourning. With them and every citizen of the earth who believes in peace, friendship and solidarity. Values dedicated to his own life and action by Pope Francis.
At these hours, our thinking is turning to the world's flock of the Vatican. In particular, in the Greek community of the Catholics to which I express my most sincere condolences. I wish the legacy of the understanding and love left by Pope Francis to find the best continuation.
