Pressure is growing on Cardinal Parolin to push the Holy See to decriminalise abortion in Andorra.
The head of government of the Principality of Andorra, Xavier Espot, and his Minister of Institutional Relations, Ladislau Baró, travelled this week to the Vatican to engage in talks with the Holy See over the proposed decriminalisation of abortion.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by the Andorran government, the delegation – which also included the country’s ambassador to the Holy See, Carles Àlvarez – met with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Secretary of State of the Holy See, in what the government described as a “matter of great legal, institutional and social complexity”.
