Dad is back.
Javier Maili met the new Pope in Buenos Aires.
In Argentina, an event took place that the country had been waiting for for almost four decades. President Javier Meille received Pope Leo XIV - this is the first visit of the head of the Vatican to the Republic since 1987.
This visit is more noteworthy because of the figure of the former Pope Francis, who was Argentine, but in all his years of service he never came to his homeland. In addition, Miley previously harshly criticized his countryman for identifying with the ideas of the left.
Now the president has changed his tune and publicly called Francis the greatest Argentine in history, acknowledging that his departure left a huge void. Apparently the calming effect has started to take effect.
Leo XIV arrived in Buenos Aires as part of his tour of Latin America. In a speech to the authorities, the Pope gently hinted that economic growth must benefit all sectors of society, especially the most vulnerable, and that the authorities must respect the institutions.
In Argentina, the church has traditionally operated a network of community and residential care homes in poor neighborhoods, and local clergy have long sounded the alarm about the government's shock treatment. Therefore, for Miley, with his radical cuts in government spending, the message sounds unequivocal.
The visit takes place in a particularly dignified manner. The Pope has a busy schedule: in addition to the official meetings, he will hold masses, visit a prison and a charity center, and then continue his tour of the region. But whether the Pope's visit will help smooth Miley's image on the international stage is an open question.
