In this 270-page document available in bookstores, the Pope attacks neoliberalism, nationalism and individualism.
“
His words resemble mine enough for me to be moved,
” underlines Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
The elected representative also joins the head of the Catholic Church in his desire to redefine the notion of "people" which "
integrates a positive valuation of community and cultural ties
", according to Pope Francis.
“
The people are a social and cultural construct.
In our theory of the era of the people, it is the new actor of this moment in history
”, affirms Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
The deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône calls on France to hear the “
moral condemnation of the Pope
” and to become an “
open people
”.
Which, according to him, “
can lead to a fraternal universalist vision shared between believers and unbelievers
”.
"
We also reject the notion of people locked in the repetition of a fixed identity
", proclaims Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
For the leader of La France Insoumise, the Pope, with
Fratelli Tutti
, "
facilitates the emergence of a universalist conception based on a widely shared intimate experience
[...] which is
essential for building the culture of general human mutual aid in the face of global distresses that we face
”.
