The Pope arrived
in Assisi to meet the young people
of "The Economy of Francesco".
The helicopter with the Pope on board landed a few hundred meters from the Lyrivk theater where he will speak to the girls and boys, from 100 different countries, who have gathered in Assisi to design a new world economy.
They will do this by firing a final document that will be signed by Pope Francis.
Commenting on the first testimonies of the boys, the Pope, with a joke, asked them to always be heard: "If you have nothing to say at least make a noise!", Said the Pontiff, laughing.
Then he
appeals
to
young people
to transform "an economy that kills into an economy of life".
"Our generation has bequeathed many riches to you, but we have not been able to guard the planet and we are not guarding peace".
"You are called - Francis said - to become artisans and builders of the common home, a common home that 'is going to ruin'. A new economy, inspired by Francis of Assisi, today can and must be an economy that is friendly to land and an economy of peace. It is a question of transforming an economy that kills into an economy of life, in all its dimensions ".
The Pope asks that
work return to the center of the economy
: "Do not forget about work, do not forget about workers".
"Work is already the challenge of our time, and it will be even more the challenge of tomorrow. Without worthy and well-paid work, young people do not truly become adults, inequalities increase. Sometimes you can survive without work, but you can't live good. Therefore, while you create goods and services, do not forget to create jobs, good jobs, jobs for everyone ", he said speaking in Assisi at the 'Economy of Francesco' event.

The Pope went back to talking about the demographic winter in Italy and in Europe in general and underlined, in this regard, that there is "
the slavery of women
: a woman who cannot be a mother because, as soon as she begins to feel her belly, they throw her "out" of work. Pregnant women don't make them work. "
