“I propose that you end the war so that you have time to save us, I propose that you United Nations “Sponsor as soon as possible two peace conferences, one on Ukraine and one on Palestine,” he said Petro in your intervention.

According to the president, this way “they would teach how to make peace in all regions of the planet, because both and only both would put an end to hypocrisy as a political practice, because we could be honest”.

Along these lines, he added that “they forgot that the same reasons that are expressed to defend (the Ukrainian presidentVolodymyr) Zelensky These are the same reasons with which one should defend Palestine”.

“I propose to end the war to defend life from the climate crisis, the mother of all crises“He continued Petrowhich stated that the sustainable development goals established for 2030 “they will not be reached.”

Life crisis

According to Petroin the year that has passed since his last speech at the UN, “We only saw to deepen what the rich gathered Davos they called the polycrisis: war continues, hunger continues, recession increases and climate crisis It showed its teeth like never before, claiming tens of thousands of lives and warming the land and seas like never before. All these crises are actually one, the crisis of life.”

This crisis “is expressed in a terrifying indicator” what “it started from afar (…) in a silent march of people, a crowd of all colors advancing along the trails, through the seas, through the jungles”, a phenomenon that became “the exodus of humanity”he said of the immigration crisis.

“In the year 2070, according to science, it will be 3,000 million people fleeing their beloved homes because they will become uninhabitable. In my homeland, the country of beauty, the country of the explosion of life, in that 2070 there will only be desertsthe people will go north, no longer attracted by the sequins of wealth, but by something simpler and more vital: water“, warned the president.

For the, “the exodus of people to the north accurately measures the dimension of failure of governments.”

Added to this, continued the president, is the fact that countries “they turned to the drugs of death”like him fentanyl“which no longer kills 4,000, but 100,000 young people a year”.

Petro finished his second speech at the UN General Assembly proposing that “the mega-crisis of life is resolved with a democracy that reaches a global level, a profound democracy”and for that you must “free the public save life (…) let the word change resonate, because to save life it is essential.”

“The problem is that this was not a socialist issue, progressives, but it was an issue that was taking time away from life on the planet”, Petro warned as a final message, which lamented that “It seems that world leadership has become the enemy of life.”
