A new president in Argentina, has been elected:
Javier Milei, leader of the "Freedom Advances" coalition, is the new elected president of Argentina. In the scrutiny, the candidate and Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, won with more than 56% of the votes.
Bishop Oscar Ojeda assures his prayers for the new authorities: “that they can work for the common good of our people.”
The president of the Argentine Episcopal Conference, Monsignor Oscar Ojeda, valued the democratic day that took place this November 19, assuring his prayers for the elected authorities to work for the common good.
“We value the democratic journey lived yesterday and we pray to the Lord to enlighten the new elected authorities so that they can work for the common good of our people,” this is how the Bishop of the Diocese of San Isidro in Buenos Aires expressed himself.
According to Romereports, Javier Milei, has spoken out against Pope Francis, for years, calling him an “imbecile” and a “communist.”
I always respond a little ironically: I've spent 76 years in Argentina—that's enough, isn't it? But there is one thing I don't know why it is not said. That there has been a trip to Argentina scheduled since November 2017.
A few months ago, he was asked about this again and replied that his idea is to go next year, in 2024.
This is in addition to the formal request of the Argentine Bishops Conference which, after its last assembly, issued a letter inviting Pope Francis to visit his homeland. In it, the bishops pointed out that they would “greatly benefit” from the Pope's visit, as well as “his blessing” during what they defined as “difficult times.”

In the last debate with his contendor, Milei again apologized for what he had said about Pope Francis. And in an interview, he assured that he would have no problem visiting the Vatican to talk to the Pope, as done so by his predecessors.
The current president, Alberto Fernandez, visited the Vatican in 2020, where he spoke with the Pope for 45 minutes. Prior to him, President Macri also met with the Pope for about half of the duration. President Kirchner met him on several occasions as well.
The other question that arises with Milei's election revolves around Pope Francis' highly discussed trip to Argentina. It is a trip that the Pope has not ruled out—as he admitted publicly in a press conference on his return from Iraq in 2021.I always respond a little ironically: I've spent 76 years in Argentina—that's enough, isn't it?
