Pope Leo urges Argentine President to safeguard democracy | DW News

Pope Leo delivered a subtle but striking message for President Javier Milei on his first visit to Argentina. Without naming Milei directly, the pontiff said political leaders must put people, not the economy, first, and warned that power has limits. Milei is a self described anarcho-capitalist who has staked his presidency on slashing public spending to tame inflation. He has described the notion of social justice as a "horror." So was Leo's speech a clear political rebuke of Milei's leadership or a restatement of Catholic teaching?

DW's Jared Reed asks Oxford historian and papacy expert Miles Pattenden.
