Arriving in Argentina as part of a 12-day tour across Latin America, Pope Leo stressed that the economy must be structured to benefit all citizens. His remarks were met with enthusiastic applause from those gathered in the Argentine capital.
The pope's message directly challenged the current government's approach, which has focused on strict fiscal austerity aimed at stabilizing the economy but has drawn criticism for its social impact.
This visit marks the second stop in Pope Leo's broader mission to engage with Latin American nations on issues of social justice and economic equity. His comments highlight ongoing debates about balancing economic reform with social welfare in the region.
