(中央社烏拉圭首都蒙特維多7日綜合外電報導)羅馬天主教宗良十四世(Pope Leo XIV)今天走訪南美洲國家烏拉圭治安最差的社區,批評這個富裕國家部分地區毒品暴力肆虐,甚至造成兒童死亡。

綜合法新社和路透社報導,71歲的良十四世儘管3週前才剛接受肺癌手術,如今已展開為期12天的南美洲之行,首站造訪烏拉圭,預計停留至明天,接著前往阿根廷與秘魯。

良十四世今天在嚴密維安下,步行穿過首都蒙特維多的卡薩瓦耶(Casavalle)地區。當地謀殺率是全國平均的4倍,居民表示每晚都聽得到槍聲。

教宗說:「烏拉圭有些孩子因為害怕再也回不了家,而不敢上學。」

他說:「在這樣一個資源豐富的國家,孩子絕不應該餓著肚子上床睡覺…更不應該遭受暴力,甚至因此失去生命。」

烏拉圭向來是治安相對良好的國家,但隨著該國日益成為拉丁美洲古柯鹼貿易的轉運樞紐,爭奪毒品運輸路線控制權的幫派相互報復攻擊,導致謀殺率急遽攀升。

不願透露姓氏的33歲護理師克勞蒂亞(Claudia)告訴法新社,她曾看到一輛機車停在自家門前,車上有人開槍,「把一個人打得渾身都是彈孔」。

她說:「當孩子看到一具屍體躺在那裡,你根本不知道該怎麼辦。這種事已經變得稀鬆平常。」

根據聯合國兒童基金會(UNICEF),烏拉圭約有4成兒童及青少年生活在貧窮之中。

良十四世在致詞時呼籲烏拉圭民眾「擺脫」對貧窮與不平等的冷漠,向有需要的人伸出援手。他說:「我們不能對周遭許多受苦的人視而不見。」

良十四世今天也前往烏拉圭西北部、烏拉圭河畔的經濟重鎮白三杜(Paysandu),從首都蒙特維多往返約750公里。他是首位造訪這座城市的教宗。

約4萬名民眾冒雨到場迎接,其中許多人等候了一整夜。良十四世向他們喊話,希望這個政治立場嚴重分歧的地區能弭平歧見。

梵蒂岡選定白三杜作為良十四世在南美洲舉行首場彌撒的地點,原因是該地交通便利,方便區域內各地朝聖者前往。

良十四世彌撒講道時,以附近連接烏拉圭與阿根廷的阿狄加斯將軍國際大橋(General Artigas International Bridge)為喻。他說:「不難想像一座橋能帶來哪些益處:開放、溝通與交流。正因如此,成為搭橋的人才這麼重要!」

Open Questions

  • 烏拉圭政府將採取何種具體措施打擊毒品暴力?
  • 教宗接下來在阿根廷與秘魯的行程安排為何?

Liberland: A liberal utopia for the richest people in the cryptocurrency industry

There is a 7 square kilometers of unclaimed land on the Danube River on the border between Croatia and Serbia, known as the "Free Republic of Liberland".
