Juan Pedro Frere Affanni is a 27 year old member of the Focolare Movement, and considers himself as a Catholic and a Marxist. When he heard about DIALOP 2024 he felt that that was the answer to his searching over years, overcoming the gap he had felt between a social engagement in his Country and a spiritual universalitic call. He started on his own to collect friends and comrades from the university, the Focolare Movement and the Left Parties, to build up a group. “It was a collective effort” he reiterates “which was boosted probably by our difficult context in Argentina”.
Luisa Sello interviewed Juan Pedro at the DIALOP office on January 9th 2026. Listen to it.
