Colombia’s president hailed the selection of an American pope with deep ties to Latin America Thursday, expressing hope that the new pontiff backs Latino migrants in his native United States.
“I hope he becomes a great leader for migrant peoples around the world, and I hope he encourages our Latin American migrant brothers and sisters, humiliated today in the United States. It’s time for them to organize,” President Gustavo Petro said on social media.
