Welcome to our blog, where we discuss important issues and events happening around the world. Today, we bring you news about Archbishop José Domingo Ulloa Mendieta of Panama, who has called for international support for Venezuelans amidst growing unrest in the country.
During a televised Mass on Sunday, Archbishop Mendieta expressed his solidarity with Venezuelans both in their homeland and in Panama. He reassured them that they are not alone in their fight for truth and justice.
He urged the global community to stand with Venezuelans and show them solidarity in their quest for a better future. The Archbishop emphasized the need for concrete actions rather than just symbolic gestures.
As a gesture of support, the Church in Panama observed a Day of Prayer for the people of Venezuela. Archbishop Mendieta described prayer as a powerful tool that can bring about positive change, even in the face of adversity.
Amidst the ongoing political turmoil in Venezuela, where the government has imprisoned over 2,000 protesters, Archbishop Mendieta called for an end to violence and a peaceful resolution to the crisis. He also called for respect for the will of the Venezuelan people expressed through democratic processes.
Global Concern
The international community has expressed concern over the recent presidential elections in Venezuela, which have been marred by allegations of fraud. President Nicolás Maduro claimed victory, but opposition parties and several countries have disputed the results. They are calling for transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
In light of the situation in Venezuela, Pope Francis also addressed the crisis during his Angelus prayer. He appealed to all parties involved to seek peaceful solutions, exercise restraint, and prioritize the well-being of the population over political interests.
As we reflect on the challenges facing Venezuela, let us join hands in solidarity with Archbishop Mendieta and all those who are advocating for truth, justice, and peace in the region.
