Ultraliberal President, who referred to the compatriot as ‘the most important Argentine in history’ after funeral, said his lines were considered as ‘youth errors’ by the Pontiff.
The Argentine President, shared last Friday (25) that made a visit to where he apologized to the for criticism that I had previously uttered. The pontiff, in turn, minimized Milei’s statements, classifying them as “youth errors.” The Argentine President’s remarks about Francisco gained notoriety especially after the death of the religious leader. This statement reflects a change in the president’s tone, who had previously made quite negative comments about the Pope.
Milei, who positions herself as an advocate of ultraliberalism, criticized Francis for her defense of an active state role in society. On past occasions, the Argentine president even called him “asshole”, highlighting the tension between his political views.
“Yes, of course I apologized to him. And he said to me, ‘don’t get hot, they are youth errors,” Milei shared the meeting with the Pope on February 12, 2024. President Ultraliberal lamented the pontiff’s death during his stay in the Italian capital, referring to him as “the most important Argentine in history.”
Francisco, who had a complex relationship with his home country, had declared in 2021 that he would no longer return to Argentina. This statement reflects the Pope’s ambivalence towards his homeland, even after his death, which generated a wave of honors and reflections on his legacy.
