President Javier Milei was moved to tears during Pope Leo XIV’s farewell at Ezeiza airport, at the end of a four-day visit, the first by a pontiff to Argentina in 39 years. The Pope left for Peru, the second leg of his South American tour, after celebrating his last Mass at the Basilica of Luján.
Pope Leo arrived in Argentina on Sunday, Nov. 8, after a visit to Uruguay, according to The Independent. The Independent reported that he warned President Javier Milei about democracy, while The Hindu said the pope criticized Milei’s austerity policies and defended poor people. The Lancashire Telegraph reported that Leo told Milei people should come before the economy. Later reports described visits to a disability care home and meetings with survivors of clergy abuse, but did not provide further detail on the remarks or meetings.
