“The relationship with the Pope has always been very good to the point of the minister’s visit It was an invitation from the Pope“Adorni explained. “The relationship with the Pope is fantastic, but it makes it difficult to accept differences and the fact that we do not think the same on all issues,” he concluded.
The Government’s response to Pope Francis’ remarks
In his usual press conference, Adorni referred to the sayings of the highest representative of the Catholic Church. On Friday morning, the Supreme Pontiff He criticized the repression against retirees carried out by the Argentine government and questioned the social and economic reality of the country.
“It is the opinion of the Pope which we respect, listen to and even reflect on, But we do not have to share his vision on some issues.“But there is total respect for what the Pope may say about anything,” the spokesman said.
During the conference, Adorni assured that the relationship with the Pope was “very good” and cited as an example the meeting that the Argentine had with Minister Sandra Pettovello last Monday. Despite the good relationship he refers to, the spokesman also stressed that this “It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t start accepting differences.” and he even explained that within La Libertad Avanza they have a different opinion: “Anyway, good things can come out of that.“, he said.
Beyond criticizing – without naming her – the actions of the protocol carried out by the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, Francis left a very striking phrase during his speech at the Dicastery for Integral Human Development. During his speech, the Argentine said that a foreign businessman He confessed to him as a Argentine official asked him for a “bribe” in exchange for a investment project in the country.
“He went to present the minister with a new plan for new extensions, the minister treated him very well and said ‘leave it with me, they will call you.’ The next day, the minister’s secretary called him, told him if he could come ‘in two days, so we can give you the permit.’ He came, gave him the papers and the signature… and when he (the entrepreneur) was about to get up, he said: And for us, how much?… And for us, how much? The bribe. The devil enters through the pocket, don’t forget“, Francisco denounced.
Faced with this, Adorni avoided going into the matter further and quickly referred the matter to the courts: “I understand that the Justice will investigate it if it deems it necessary.but I don’t know where the comment comes from. Clearly, if there is a fact that needs to be investigated, it will be investigated.“.
Pope Francis’s criticism of government repression
The event where Pope Francis spoke took place in the Argentine morning at the Dicastery for Integral Human Development. There, numerous members of Popular Movements – among whom was the leader Juan Grabois – gathered to listen to the Argentine’s words.
Although Francisco never directly named Javier Milei’s government, he did allude to a repression that occurred ” a week ago“. Francisco said: “I was shown a repression, a week or so ago. Workers, people who were demanding their rights in the street. And the police repelled her with something that is the most expensive there is, that top quality pepper spray.“
It is worth noting that the national government repressed a demonstration on Wednesday, September 11, which was against the presidential veto of the pension reform. Along these lines, the leader of the Catholic Church criticized: “And they had no right to claim what was theirs.because they were rebellious, communists, no, no. The Government stood firm and instead of paying for social justice, it paid for pepper spray, it suited it. Keep that in mind,” he said.
