Monsignor Nunzio Galantino, the
secretary general of Italian bishops' conference CEI, on
Thursday warned politicians against stoking fear of migrants and
making promises that cannot be kept ahead of the March 4 general
election.
"The importance of morality for politicians who stand at the
elections is not only applicable from the sixth to the ninth
commandments," Galantino told a news conference.
"It is immoral, for example, to say things, to make promises
that you don't know whether you can keep or want to keep or,
even, that you know you cannot keep.
"It is also immoral to speculate on fear. There is fear of
what is different but it is a sin to speculate on fear".
