25.12.2025 โ‡ข The Day of Pope Leo XIVโ€™s Peace Appeal
โŒจOn Christmas morning, Italian editors focused on the Vatican as Pope Leo XIV presided over his first Christmas Mass, breaking with traditional protocols to highlight the 'commodity economy' and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. By midday, editorial attention transitioned to his 'Urbi et Orbi' address, specifically his call for direct dialogue between Russia and Ukraine and his reference to Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai.
Concurrently, newsrooms tracked Volodymyr Zelenskyโ€™s address, which combined a 20-point peace proposal with an explicit wish for Vladimir Putin's death, prompting a swift rebuttal from the Kremlin. By early afternoon, media reports shifted to the diplomatic tension surrounding Putinโ€™s Christmas greetings to President Trump, which editors framed as a tactical maneuver against Kyiv.
In the evening, the domestic narrative was overtaken by environmental concerns. Headlines prioritized the 'red alert' in Emilia-Romagna, where the flooding of the Senio and Lamone rivers forced evacuations in the Ravenna area, marking a shift from geopolitical rhetoric to a localized climate emergency.
