The Todo Noticias portal stated that, according to members of Milei’s team, the Holy Father reportedly “responded positively” to the invitation.
During the conversation, the libertarian addressed the pontiff as “His Holiness,” and a leader close to Milei said that “they spoke together very well. It was thrilling."
Witnesses to the communication between the two told Infobae that Pope Francis pointed out to the new president that “health, education, and poverty are very important issues.”
In response, Milei said he is convinced that changes he plans to make “are going to be good for the population.”
Pope Francis urged the future president to have “wisdom and courage to govern,” to which Milei replied: “I have the courage, I am working on the wisdom.”
The phone call from Rome comes after some harsh criticism of the pope by Milei. In public statements, the next president had claimed that the pontiff was “the representative of the evil one on Earth” and had proffered other insults, for which he was urged to apologize.
