Pope Leo draws 2.5 million people during historic Argentina Mass

Hundreds of thousands of people on the streets of Buenos Aires, people who have come here to be present during the mass led by Jorge Mario This is the first papal visit in more decades. Pope Francis, who was from Argentina, Pope Leo's predecessor, never came back during his 12-year papacy. So this visit has a very special meaning for people here in Argentina. He's arriving at a very special time when President Javier Milei is implementing One of the harshest austerity plans in this country's history. First of all, I see it with a lot of humility and it transmits a lot of peace and I think it is something that today we all need, of humility, transparency and that they can also guide us to that path of peace that we Argentines need so much today. But, well, it's very exciting. Leo met with people who are struggling with disabilities in residence and residence, and assist people with disabilities who were also in meeting with labor unions and workers among others. I liked that he spoke about grandparents, I liked that he spoke about disability, because I have a grandson who is going through that transition as well. The relationship between the madame and the church has been a tense one because the church has been very critical. of the impact that the austerity program is having on the Scottish is most vulnerable. The other thing is that Javier Milei has shown lots of closeness with the Jewish faith, expressing that he would like to convert. He traveled to New York to visit a shrine of a rabbi there, among other issues. He's a close ally of Benjamin Netanyahu and that justifies Israel's war on Gaza. The speech that León gave yesterday was not just for the president, it was absolutely for the entire political arena, for the entire political arena, and well, whoever wants to pass, let them put it on, is that clear? When you talk to people here, many are saying that they would like the Pope's visit to help Argentina move forward. They're saying that this is a historic day, a visit that they have been waiting for a very long time.
