Urging Yunus to stay in office and deliver on promises of reform, justice and voting rights, he said, “Dr Yunus must resolve all political crises while in office.”

Figari and other top members were ultimately expelled from the organisation. And later, Pope Francis took the rare step of dissolving the group altogether. The decree of suppression took effect just one week before Francis died in April, effectively abolishing the group.But Pope Leo himself has faced scrutiny over whether he failed to act upon the complaints the diocese in Chiclayo received while he was bishop.

In March, for instance, a group called Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) issued aalleging that three women in 2022 reported their sexual abuse to the diocese, only to face institutional silence.“There is serious reason to believe that Cardinal Prevost did not follow the procedures established by the Holy See for carrying out investigations following reports of abuse,” SNAP wrote.

Leo XIV, however, has told the Peruvian newspaper La Republica in the past that he rejects “cover-ups and secrecy”. And last week, Father Jordi Bertomeu Farnos, a Vatican investigator, denied the reports.“Robert Prevost did not cover up anything,” Bertomeu Farnos told Peruvian media in Rome. “He did everything according to the protocols we have in the Vatican.”

Ugaz, the journalist, says she remains optimistic Leo XIV can implement reform.

She pointed out that, in his first days as pope, Leo XIV held a meeting with Cardinal Sean O’Malley, who leads a Vatican commission to protect children from abuse. She also recalled the words of encouragement he recently gave to her and her journalism partner.Here’s where things stand on Tuesday, May 27:

China rejected allegations that it had supplied weapons to Russia. “China has never provided lethal weapons to any party in the Ukraine conflict,” said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning at a daily briefing on Tuesday. She added that Beijing strictly regulates dual-use exports and dismissed the reports as “baseless accusations and political manipulation”.Politics and diplomacy
