Ayuso elogia el llamado a la paz sin miedo de León XIV

The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, congratulated all Catholics around the world this afternoon for the election of Pope León XIV. «We wish him all the best and offer him all our collaboration.»

A Pope who, as she pointed out, also speaks to us in Spanish with a Peruvian accent, and who in a world at war has begun his Pontificate calling for peace, without fear.

She said this at the event held in Puerta del Sol in tribute to the victims of the Jet Set nightclub in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) on April 8.

The 68,000 Dominicans living in Madrid «must know that they are not outside their land here, they are at home. And the people of Madrid and the rest of Spaniards accompany them in their grief and share their pain as their own,» expressed the regional president.
