It is a very dark speech that Prince Harry delivered before the United Nations.
The Duke of Sussex, invited to an event to commemorate the memory of Nelson Mandela, took the floor, and he wanted to evoke what he describes as "a global attack on democracy and freedom", as relayed by the BBC.
A way, in a way, of speaking, without really saying it, of the decision of the American Supreme Court to revoke the right to abortion.
"From the horrific war in Ukraine to the rollback of constitutional rights here in the United States, we are witnessing a global attack on democracy and freedom, the cause that was at the heart of Mandela's life," said the grandson. son of the Queen of England, adding that the "consequences of decisions made by some of the most powerful people" were even more evident in Africa.
It's hot
In his speech, Prince Harry also mentions global warming, which has been affecting the whole world ever more intensely for several years, without giving any respite.
“Our world is on fire again.
And these historic climatic events are no longer historic.
They are increasingly part of our daily lives and this crisis will only get worse,” he added, calling on UN officials to act “boldly” to change things.
“How many of us feel downcast, helpless, in the face of a seemingly endless stream of disaster and devastation?
he also asked the audience.
And to conclude: "It's a painful year in a painful decade".
