After the pro-Trump supporters broke into the US Capitol building on Wednesday, Pope Francis in a recent interview said such violence “must be condemned.”

“Violence is always like this,” the Pope said in comments to Italy’s Canale 5 channel that CNN translated to English, citing the existence of violent outbreaks in every country’s history “and no people can boast of not having one day a case of violence.”

“We must understand well and reflect, learn how not to repeat it, learn from history,” the leader of the Catholic Church said, CNN reported.

In a preview clip of the interview viewed by CNN, the Pope said he was “amazed” by Wednesday’s events as the US is “so disciplined in democracy.”

“But it is a reality, even in more mature realities, there is always something wrong, something about people taking a path against the community, against democracy, against the common good,” he added.

However, the Pope implied that such a tragic incident was indeed required to make the problem evident and in turn can help solve it.

“I thank God that this broke out and we could see it well because this can be remedied, right?,” he said during the interview in the Vatican’s Santa Marta residence.

On Wednesday, a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters breached the US Capitol building in Washington, DC, as Congress was in the process of counting the Electoral College votes and certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s win in the November 3 elections.

Baselessly convinced by Trump himself that the elections were fraudulent, the rioters clashed with police officers and attacked members of the media, smashed windows, vandalized and ransacked offices, and stole federal property.

The US Capitol went into lockdown for several hours jeopardising the lives of the US lawmakers until law enforcement secured the building.

Five people– including a US Capitol police officer and a woman shot during the riots — have died, and many more were injured, as a result of the January 6 riots.

The violence was condemned by leaders around the globe, dismayed over the destruction to America’s symbol of democracy.
