Argentina's president, Javier Milei, conveyed condolences to Pope Francis' family and Catholics after his passing. While publicly criticizing the pope during his campaign, referring to him as an 'imbecile', Milei later visited the Vatican, demonstrating a change in attitude. He expressed pride in having known the pope, emphasizing the honor he felt. Pope Francis, born Jorge Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, leaves a significant legacy, and Argentina is set to observe seven days of mourning, with memorial services planned in tribute to his impact on the nation and the world.
âDespite differences that seem minor today, having been able to know him in his goodness and wisdom was a true honor for me,â Milei said, acknowledging past conflicts.
Mileiâs softening tone post-election is notable, considering he previously called the pope an âimbecileâ during the presidential campaign.â},{
