  "account": "Pope Leo XIV touched down in Buenos Aires on Friday, marking the inaugural visit from a Catholic Church leader to the nation since 1987. The pontiff touched down at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery Airport following a flight from Montevideo, Uruguay. As the plane neared the city, both Argentine and Vatican flags fluttered from the aircraft's windows. Upon exiting the aircraft, Pope Leo XIV was draped in a red mozzetta, a traditional garment over his white cassock. He was greeted by President Javier Milei, who led the pair down a red carpet for the National Anthem. The ceremony was followed by the Pope's walk alongside President Milei. The Pope was then whisked away to fulfill his first commitment of the day - a visit to national hero José de San Martín’s Monument in Plaza San Martín. He was expected to make a brief stop before heading to the Casa Rosada for the official welcoming ceremony with President Milei. The Pope's final commitment for the day was a meeting with government officials and diplomats at Palacio Libertad, located just a few blocks from the presidential palace. The Pope's historic visit to Argentina will continue on Monday, when he is set to lead mass at the Monumento de los Españoles (Spaniards' Monument) in Palermo.",
