Just a dude on his way back home from Rome.
Milei was in Rome to meet with Pope Francis. Here's how Fox News put it:
President Javier Milei appeared at the Vatican and spoke with Pope Francis for over an hour - an exceptionally long diplomatic meeting by the pope's standards.
'One of the things that I've come to understand, among other things, is that the pope is the Argentine who is the most important person in the country,' Milei told Italian outlet Retequattro.
Milei in the past called Pope Francis a slew of derogatory terms, including an 'imbecile' and a 'son of a b----.' The president went so far as to once characterize the pontiff as 'the representative of malignance on Earth.'
Those past remarks seemed to evaporate on Monday when Milei attended a canonization Mass for Argentina's newest recognized saint, María Antonia de Paz y Figueroa - a religious sister born in 1730 who famously catered to the poor and sick.
Ah, politics. The art of a chainsaw-wielding libertarian meeting with a far-left pontiff to find common ground! 😂
