Francisco, Jorge Luis Borges and Javier Milei They form an irregular triangle of Argentina at this time. Three parts that challenge geometry: they can never constitute a common object. The Swiss Guard charged the Pope’s coffin towards Tomb and stopped for a few seconds in front of the place assigned to the ultra -right -wing president, accompanied by his sister, Karina. “He applauded, with his eyes fixed, almost without blinking,” The newspaper ´La ‘said. That sobriety has contrasted with the words and previous acts that are the local and international media aration.
About 250,000 people passed through the burning chapel of the Basilica of San Pedro to say goodbye to the Pontiff. Milei was not. He was at the hotel. The capitalist anarco reacted with annoyance from the comments about his absence. “Like whoever likes Pope Francis He has been the most important Argentine in history “said. The president said he had traveled to the Vatican on behalf of “the Argentines of Catholic faith who saw the Pope as an impressive leader.”
Just a few years before, his weighting was another. Milei felt in the antipodes of the thought of Jorge Bergoglio And he had no rot to express it on television that he found as a regular gathering before launching to fight for the Argentine presidency. “This country has so many years of social justice … What is social justice? It is envy, hatred, resentment. To see, originally, envy was a capital sin. It would be necessary to inform you To the moron that is in Rome that defends social justice, which knows that it is a robbery and that this goes against the commandments. “
A journalist wanted to know if he did not exceed his opinions. “No. The Pope … yes, I will say it straight: He is the representative of the evil on earth. Did you know that the Pope drives communism? “He replied in 2022. By then he was already a national deputy. During the electoral campaign he led him to power, economist Alberto Benegas Lynch, son of the candidate’s mentor, had proposed, following his aversion towards the pontiff” suspend diplomatic relations with the Vatican. “
The use of irony
Milei came to the presidency and was in procession to the Vatican with his sister. “I apologized when I first saw him. I had no order of magnitudes in what meant being the leader of a community. Keep in mind that I am philosophically an anarco capitalist. Those figures in my head were not, they did not exist, “he explained. According to his story, Francisco said:”Do not warm yourself (worries), they are youth errors “. The irony of the Pontiff did not go unnoticed: at the time of launching his diatribes, the “young” Milei was 52 years old.
The subtle pontifical sneer reminded Another sarcasm artist, as was Borges. Francisco could not only cite memory poems. He had been his friend. Bergoglio met him in the mid -sixties. In your autobiography HopefulA, officiated some details. “When, with just twenty -seven years, I became a professor of literature and psychology at the College of Immaculate Conception of (the province) Santa Fe, I taught a creative writing course for the students and decided to send him, through the mediation of his secretary, that he had been my piano teacher, two stories written by the boys. However, he sent them to read them –I was already practically blind– And they also liked them a lot. “
It is possible that the author of “El Aleph” has not been interested in those texts and that in that cordiality something that should not be said otherwise. The truth is that the future Pope also invited him to teach some classes. “With sixty -six years, he got on a bus and made an eight -hour trip, from Buenos Aires to Santa Fe. On one of those occasions we were late because, when I went to look for him to the hotel, he asked me to help him shave. It was an agnostic that a Our Father prayed every night Because he had promised his mother, and before he died he received the sacraments. “
Borges, meanwhile, left a personal record of that relationship. “With the Jesuit, who is a chemical engineer and a very good reader, we understand each other better; he teaches literature and has included my texts in his classes, which seems a bit exaggerated. The great writer considered that Bergoglio was “an intelligent and sensible person” with whom you could “talk about any subject: philosophy, theology, politics.” Something caught his attention. “I have observed that he has as many doubts as me. Which I don’t know if it’s fine in a religious. My mother would have been horrified of such a thing. But perhaps it is not so weird if we consider that it is a Jesuit. Of course, these people are historically transgressive and even have a sense of humor, in addition to handling concepts that in some cases differ from the other congregations of the Church. “
He “sense of humor” De Bergoglio showed when he told Milei his “youth sins.” The president believes despite the fact that on that occasion of 2024 he was acquitted by the Argentine Pope. Before traveling to Rome for the farewell of the Pontiff, the capitalist Anarco let his deep creed be given by delivering the Honoris Causa doctorate of the Higher School of Economics and Business Administration (ESAADE) to Spanish Jesús Huerta de Soto. During his stay in Buenos Aires, the visitor told Argentine television to now be known “Moral truth“About the deceased. He estimated that God,” who is infinitely merciful, ” “Forgive even more serious sins and errors.”
