Pope warns youth for populism

Pope Francis has warned the youth of the world about populism and xenophobia.

When an elderly woman raised the refugee issue in Italy and complained about the increasing hostility towards migrants, Francis said that the Bible prescribes hospitality. Nevertheless, according to the Pope, states also have the right to restrict immigration. He stressed the importance of European agreement in this matter. The southern external borders of the EU, in Italy, Spain and Greece, should not be overloaded.
