Criticism of President Milei: Pope urges more consideration for the weak in Argentina
After his election as Pope, Francis never returned to his home country of Argentina. Now President Milei is rolling out the red carpet for his successor. But Leo XIV. also finds critical words.
Pope Leo XIV has urged Argentine President Javier Milei to be more considerate of weaker groups in society. During a visit to Buenos Aires, the Pope said the economy must serve humanity, not the other way around. He called on Milei to care for the vulnerable, forgive, share, and assist those in need, citing the growing wealth gap in Argentina since Milei took office. The Pope's visit is the first by a Pope to Argentina in nearly 40 years and comes ahead of his trip to Peru, where he served as a missionary and bishop.
