VATICAN CITY, Holy See, Sept 22 — Pope Francis heads Friday to Marseille for a two-day visit focused on the Mediterranean and migration, bringing a message of tolerance amid bitter debate over how Europe manages asylum seekers.
The European Union promised more help for Rome while France, amid wrangling over a draft law governing migrant arrivals there, said it would not accept anyone from Lampedusa. He becomes the first pope in 500 years to visit the city, a gateway for immigrants and also home to some of the poorest neighbourhoods in Europe, many of which are plagued by drug trafficking.
He underwent hernia surgery in June, less than two years after having colon surgery, and routinely uses a wheelchair due to a troublesome knee.The pope's plane is due to land at 1415 GMT, and he will be met at the airport by French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne. On Saturday morning, the pope will take part in the closing session of the"Mediterranean Meetings" event.
