Pope Leo XIV has expressed serious concerns about the political and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, stating that the nation must retain its independence. The pontiff did not explicitly condemn the recent U.S. military intervention or the forced transfer of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife to New York.
The Pope emphasized that the well-being of the Venezuelan people should take precedence over all other considerations. He described his monitoring of the situation as being with a ‘heavy heart,’ underscoring the urgency of prioritizing humanitarian needs amid the escalating tensions.
