00:00And amid a demolarizing context for Peruvian youth, Pope Leo will hold a massive rally with
00:06them at the National Stadium in Lima, amid a lack of opportunities they hope to receive
00:11a message of faith and hope.
00:17Peruvian youth are preparing to hear a motivational message of hope from Pope Leo XIV, however,
00:23the reality they face is discouraging due to a lack of opportunities.
00:29This is the view of Rafael Polar, a student leader at the Pontifical Catholic University
00:34of Peru.
00:39What worries us is not seeing a better future, having to feel that the only way to live well
00:45and with dignity is to leave the country, for example.
00:48I believe that this is something that challenges young people today and deprives us of many
00:53opportunities to contribute to the country.
00:55Seeing that the only way to live in peace is to leave the country is, I believe, the
01:00most serious problem facing young people today.
01:07According to data from the National Institute of Statistics, more than one and a half million
01:14young people are neither studying nor working.
01:16And they also face the rise of new technologies that, if misused, could prove harmful, as Matteo
01:24Medina warned a young acolyte referring to the encyclical Magnifica Humanistas.
01:35These days, we are practically witnessing the introduction of artificial intelligence.
01:41In our daily lives, we are seeing tools that are often already capable of even producing content,
01:47things that sometimes we ourselves can't even identify.
01:50So I think that's a key point regarding dependence, because one possibility is that it might lead
01:55us to a point of no return where society as a whole is accustomed to and dependent on artificial
02:01intelligence to make decisions.
02:09According to the National Institute of Statistics, 73% of young people aged 18 to 25 work in the
02:18informal sector without any rights or benefits and at the mercy of rising crime.
02:28Even those of us who drive the green cars live in fear that something might happen at any
02:33moment, like a month or a month and a half ago.
02:36If I'm not mistaken, they fired shots right here in front of the Sol Cantoro school with
02:40a message saying, we don't want you to drive on this route.
02:43Things like that mean you can't work in peace.
02:50Youth issues specialist Cesar Muñoz highlighted the encyclical Laudato Si, which prioritizes decent
02:59work and human dignity over capital or governmental or corporate proposals that might violate
03:05young people's right to work.
03:13I hope that the Pope's visit will bring joy, fill young people with faith and optimism.
03:19Those of us who go out every day to struggle, to earn our daily bread, even when everything
03:24is against us.
03:25And above all, that it will bring a message of hope, because that is what is spreading throughout
03:29the country, despair over the lack of opportunities, over insecurity, and over the inability to imagine
03:35a future for ourselves.
03:40Pope Liu arrives in Peru, where young people go out every day to struggle and seek better
03:46social, political, and economic conditions, while the government pays little attention to
03:51this key sector of the country.
