Pope Francis and President of Argentina Jorge Bergoglio hugged two weeks ago. Two weeks later, the pontiff vigorously defended the role of the State in opposition to the President.

The Pope is sending a message to Milei that repeatedly bases his decisions on the legitimacy of the votes, says Grabois, adding that this is a setback that generates greater exclusion and exclusion and social disintegration, he says.
