Francisco explained that there has already been a change of Government, after the arrival of Javier Milei to power, and that “he has some commitment to make.”
“For example, in August I have to take a trip to Polynesia, far away, and after this I would go to Argentina, Yes it can be done, but I would like to go. “In ten years it's fine,” he noted, since he has not returned to his country since his election as pope in 2013.
The new Argentine president, in a campaign that is very critical of the pontiff, intends to travel to the Vatican for the canonization on February 11 of Blessed María Antonia de Paz y Figueroa, popularly known as 'Mama Antula'.
