The ESN Group in the European Parliament warmly congratulates Pope Leo XIV on his election and extends its heartfelt wishes for a pontificate marked by blessing and strength. As the spiritual leader of more than one billion Catholics, he assumes a responsibility of historic and global significance.

The co-president of the ESN Group, René Aust, explains:

„Especially in times of societal disorientation, the voice of the Church can serve as a vital compass and anchor.

May Pope Leo XIV, with wisdom, courage, and the help of God, strengthen the bond between faith, truth, and freedom in Europe.

May God protect Pope Leo XIV.“
