Pope condemns the intrusion of the US Congress… “Lessons must be learned from history”

-Pope Francis said on the 9th (local time) that the violence caused by the intrusion of US President Donald Trump’s intrusion into the Congress should be condemned.

According to CNN on the 9th, Pope Francis said this in an interview with the Italian local broadcaster Canale 5.

The Pope said, “The end of violence is always this way.” “There has been violence in the history of every country, and no one can be sure that it will not happen any day.

Five people were killed and 52 were arrested, including one policeman who tried to crack down on the scene due to the violence of the Capitol. We must understand and reflect on what violence is.” He said, “Americans are a country familiar with democracy,” and said “I was surprised” at the invasion of the US Congress on the 6th.

“There is always something that doesn’t work,” the pope argued.

The interview took place in the Vatican Santa Marta, which the Pope uses as his official residence.

The Pope also said he plans to vaccinate against the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) next week.

The Pope said that denying the vaccine is a very dangerous behavior that endangers lives. “I will also start vaccinating here next week.”
