Easter greetings to all readers.
At his daily Covid-19 press conference, New York governor Andrew Cuomo asked: "Why is it that the poorest always pay the highest price?"
After the main evening news on German television last evening President Frank-Walter Steinmeier addressed the German people.
He spoke about the importance of neighbourhood-kindness at a local level and at an international level, the importance now for the EU to stand in solidarity. He went on to say that Germany as a nation had both the privilege and indeed the duty to show its good neighbourliness, especially to Spain and Italy.
He spoke kind and reassuring words. President Steinmeier delivered a statesman-like address that was kind and inspiring.
Compare his words to those of US President Donal Trump. The German president's words were uplifting, not a hint of any form of narcissism. In stark comparison to the daily ranting of President Trump.
Pope Francis in his Urbi et Orbi today pleaded with the world to stop producing weapons. A week earlier US President Donald Trump boasted that the US had so much ammunition it did not know what to do with it.
The pope in an interview with the current issue of The Tablet said: "At this time in Europe when we are beginning to hear populist speeches and witness political decisions of this selective kind it’s all too easy to remember Hitler’s speeches in 1933, which were not so different from some of the speeches of a few European politicians now."
