The Pope, the Presidents, and the Political Battle: The Argentine Government's Complex Preparations
Pope Leo XIV, Argentina, Government

The article details the political maneuvers and conflicts surrounding the upcoming Papal visit to Argentina. It highlights the government's enthusiasm for the visit, the specific disagreements over including former presidents in the events, and the internal power struggles within the PRO party regarding the leadership of the Independiente football club. The text also notes the changing public opinion of Spanish politician Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo towards President Milei.

The countdown has begun, and the government is eagerly anticipating the imminent arrival of Pope Leo XIV. The papal visit, scheduled from Sunday, November 8, to Wednesday, November 11, will take place in various settings and events.

La visita papal y las invitaciones

Despite the initial expressions of commitment and diplomatic courtesy, there is a noticeable lack of consensus among the organizers. A prime example is the invitation list for the Pope's visit to the renamed "Freedom Palace" (formerly the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) on Sunday.

The Catholic Episcopate proposed including all former presidents in this event, which would create a unique display of unity, bringing together figures such as Mauricio Macri and Alberto Fernández, Adolfo Rodríguez and Ramón Puerta, and possibly even Cristina Kirchner if she were granted judicial permission from her house arrest. However, the Libertarian government has not responded favorably to this suggestion.

While the official stance has cooled on the idea, both government officials and opposition figures are preparing to carefully analyze the Pope's homilies during his stops at the Monument to the Spaniards in Palermo, the Cathedral in Luján, and his meetings with youth and labor leaders at the University of Argentina. Emilio Monzó is actively searching for centrist candidates in the core region of the country, carrying a binder of polls and potential names.

Candidaturas, fútbol y новые liderazgos

His goal is to identify 24 deputy candidates and 8 senator candidates for the coming year to support the potential presidential candidacy of banker Jorge Brito. In the sports world, the race to succeed Néstor Grindetti as president of the Independiente club has intensified. Enrique Sacco, a sports journalist and partner of former governor María Eugenia Vidal, has entered the race, advocating for a "new face" and "fresh air" in the club's leadership.

He is competing against Gastón Gaudio, a former tennis player who has previously been considered for the position and has significant backing, including Qatari funding and the support of Cristian Ritondo, the head of the PRO bloc in the House of Representatives. Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, the current spokesperson for the People's Party in Spain and a former acquaintance of Milei, has publicly distanced herself from the current Argentine president's methods.

Despite her positive words on his inauguration day, she has become a critical voice against some of his policies.
