(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 26 - Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, the head
of Italian bishops conference CEI, on Tuesday expressed concern
about the country's current political crisis and called on
politicians to put the public first.
"The Church is not on one side or the other," Bassetti said.
"We are watching the political developments, in a scenario that
was already precarious because of the situation we are
experiencing, with attention and concern.
"We hope that the political class cooperates at the service of
the citizens, men and women who work silently every day all over
Italy, and that a solution that takes account of their
difficulties is reached". (ANSA).
