Movement that promotes ethics in politics turns 25

Launched 25 years ago, the Political Movement for Unity continues to challenge politicians to put Human Rights before personal interests.

“Can you live the Gospel in politics? My answer, based on my experience, but also that of many others, is that we can. It is a practical way of doing politics ”.

In early May, Pope Francis publicly congratulated the Movement on its 25th anniversary.

FRANCISCO
“I greet the members of the Political Movement for Unity founded by Chiara Lubich 25 years ago: Congratulations and good work in the service of good politics!”

Good politics means, above all, serving the common good, as explained by the president of the Movement, Mario Bruno, requires understanding the needs of the poor.

“By understanding the needs of the poor, we can give an answer to all. From this understanding emerges a model politician, who does not care about his career, but works for the common good ”.

The needs of the poor during the pandemic go beyond food and money. For this reason, the Political Movement for Unity is preparing to launch an initiative to make vaccines accessible to all, especially to marginalized populations.

“In this crisis, which is social, political, economic and environmental, I believe that there is a new capacity to take responsibility, to care about others. Uniting local and global actions. We have seen how local decisions influence the rest of the world, and how global decisions affect individual communities ”.

The Politician for Unity Movement challenges politicians to a nobler form of politics, one that takes seriously the politician’s responsibility to represent the people, and to serve the common good.
