Before the election, Milei was highly critical of Francisco, which caused discomfort among part of the electorate, causing him to lower the tone of his speech and confirm that he had sent an apology for Massa’s questioning.

According to the Infobae portal, the dialogue between the two was pleasant and very good and the invitation for him to visit Argentina next year was confirmed. Milei called Francisco his holiness.

Milei had even said that Francisco was the ‘incarnation of the Evil One’.

Next year, Pope Francis plans to visit Argentina and this trip was also controversial as it was said that his confirmation depended on the winner of the second round.

This was denied by the Argentine Pope, who told his aides that “nothing forces me to decide.” (JO)
