Pope Francis follows developments in Loan case
Then, at the beginning of August, he expressed himself on the subject in correspondence with Vera.From what you tell me, it seems that the ‘Loan case’ is typical of so many others that remain silent. I hope everything can be ‘unraveled’.“Thank you for everything you do,” he wrote.
The text was written within the framework of a complaint from Vera against the governor of Corrientes, Gustavo Valdéswhom he had accused of “obstructing the investigation into the Loan case”.
This is a new reference by Francis to what is happening in Argentina, after he condemned the repression of pensioners in a speech from Rome on Friday. “I was called a week ago about repression, repression of workers, people fighting for their rights in the streets, the police repelled them with the most expensive thing there is, top quality pepper spray. Instead of paying for social justice, the government paid for the pepper spray.”he said.
At that event, a meeting with activists, he spoke of love in the works and asked not to leave “anyone behind” and to face what he defined as “Social Darwinism, the law of the strongest, like Julio Argentino Roca, who cut off the heads of all the aborigines. Let us remember Roca. Of the 46 million, 600 thousand Aborigines remained. A shameful thing.”
