Pope arrives in Argentina and tells Milei that people, not the economy, should come first
An Associated Press article on Politico reports that Pope Leo XIV arrived in Buenos Aires from Uruguay on 8 November 2026 and, in his first public speech in Argentina, told officials that political leaders must put people before the economy. It says the speech exposed differences with President Javier Milei's government over spending cuts, social justice and artificial intelligence, and calls it a diplomatic but subtly strong critique of Milei's austerity measures.
