Pope Francis’ dazzling career in the Catholic Churchafter all, started here, in the Basilica María Auxiliadora and San Carlos, in the center of Buenos Aires. On Christmas Day 1936, little Jorge Mario was a week old, He was baptized in a sacred territory for Argentineseven because Carlos Gardel, the father of tango, took the first steps of his career singing in the choir of the same church in 1901, at the age of 11.
For these and other reasons, every day, faithful and tourists fill the place.
Given the electoral context, the TSF I wanted to know what people’s opinion was about the recent attacks from Javier Milei to Francisco. “Fool”, “communist”, nefarious” and “representative of the evil one” were some of the adjectives used by the libertarian candidate, More to the rightagainst his compatriot.
Most of those contacted, however, refuse to speak, record or even say their name. But Alejandro González, who delivers food, said these attacks will not determine his vote.
“My vote is not defined, because there are many things about the current Government that I also like. Vote blank? I haven’t defined it yet either.”, revealed Alejandro González.
For her part, Ana Martín, an almost non-touristy Uruguayan tourist who has lived in the Argentine capital for years, stressed that Milei “is out of place” and that offending the Pope will make him lose the votes of half of the population.
“He thus losing more than half of the votersbut beyond that he seems like an out of place candidate to me, Argentina is a ruinBut everything that was done in social assistance cannot be lost like this,” predicts Ana Martín.
Political scientist Carlos De Angelis, from the University of Buenos Aires, affirms that Milei’s attacks on the Pope could cost him dearly.
“Especially in the north of the country, where religion, as well as in neighboring Brazil, is very important, where Religious festivals are part of everyday life”explains Carlos De Angelis.
The elections are on Sunday and, in addition to Milei, Sergio Massa, current minister of an economy that has almost 150 points of inflation, is running.
