00:19Pablo XIV is set to departure to his next step, his next country, that is Argentina, after offering a mass
00:31to thousands of devotees in the Florida Cathedral, before thousands of worshippers as well,
00:43and with a message of unity and reconciliation in one of the most secular countries of Latin America, that is
00:52Uruguay.
00:53Now his next step is also going to be closely followed by the eyes of the world, because it's going
01:01to Argentina,
01:02a country that also has enduring feelings for his predecessor, Pope Francis, and is going as well to be a
01:13very interesting journey,
01:16the one that Pope Leo XIV has had, because this visit to Argentina is going to collide with an agenda
01:26at odds with Malaysians or policies.
01:31The visit to Argentina is as well being interpreted as a recognition of his predecessor, Pope Francis, his legacy, which
01:40he considers himself committed to continuing.
01:44Leo XIV is set to arrive in the neighboring nation on Sunday after having completed the first leg of his
01:54South American tour in Uruguay.
01:57The social focus of his journey and the large popular turnout witnessed at Uruguay, and also at his previous stops,
02:07plays Javier Mireille's administration before a visit that is going,
02:12for sure, going to be charged with significant political implications.
02:17According to the program confirmed by the Argentine Episcopal Conference, the Supreme Pontiff will land at 4.30pm on Sunday,
02:29November 8th at Jorge Newberry Airport in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
02:37It will be as well the first travel trip to the country since the visit of St. John Paul II
02:45in 1987, the occasion is also going to take place against the backdrop of tensions between Malay and the leadership
02:57of the Catholic Church.
02:58The popular anticipation has translated into an institutional mobilization that includes as well national, that includes regional public holidays established
03:11by the government with the aim of facilitating the faithful's participation in liturgical and also official events.
03:22At this hour, if you are joining us in our broadcast, Pope Leo XIV is set to departure to Argentina,
03:31his next step in this 12-day visit to Latin America, the sixth international tour offered by, given by, undergone
03:44by the Pope Leo XIV.
03:47He is assuming his papal sea on 2025, so it is, it has been a very meaningful trip because it
03:56is also linked to a very complex regional context and he, the Pope has, your holiness, have been as well
04:05sharing a message of unity and have spoken as well to everyone, to families as well and have demanded them,
04:16urge them,
04:17to continue praying, to continue praying, to connecting fully with their spirit in the face of hardships, in the face
04:26of the complex political and also social scenario left by the region as a whole.
04:35So, now, Pope Leo XIV is being farewelled by Uruguayan authorities as well at this hour, he is set now
04:47to approach his plane and to also go to his next step, his next stop in his 12-day journey
04:58that is going as well to take him after Argentina to Peru,
05:02that is also going to be a very emotional and very personal trip because he is going to reconnect with
05:09his years, his mission of his, as a priest of a local church there in Peru.
05:18Let's stop also to go deeper into the agenda that he is going to be fulfilling there in Argentina.
05:26His itinerary includes various official engagements, tributes to the founding fathers of the South American nation, he is going as
05:36well to be holding trips to the cities of Córdoba and Luján.
05:41Among the activities scheduled before the conclusion of his visit, the Supreme Pontiff will preside over a vigil with young
05:49people at the monument to the Spanish in Córdoba and visit the Buenos Aires Federal Penitentiary Complex.
05:58The government sought to limit in the midst of what is ahead of this trip to Argentina, the government of
06:08President Javier Milei has been as well trying to limit popular turnout, anticipating the repercussions of this very symbolic visit.
06:18Javier Milei has been quick to emphasize that the Pope belongs to all Argentinians and that his presence in the
06:26country should not be politicized.
06:29However, this institutional position was established by the president's sister, Carina Milei, who led negotiations with the church and Vatican
06:38representatives.
06:39It was subsequently reinforced by the secretary of worship Agustin Cauto who characterized the trip as pastoral in nature.
06:51So behind these official statements lies as well a complicated circumstance faced by Argentinians.
06:59It is a moment of social uncertainty.
07:01It is a moment that for years people have been taken to the streets demanding much to the government of
07:09Javier Milei, demands that have been met with police brutality.
07:13So in the context of these circumstances, the visit of this Supreme Pontiff of Your Holiness, the Pope Leo XIV,
07:23this is going to attract much attention to this country that have been facing social discontent for years.
07:31With a high inflation rate, with Christ, multidimensional crises cutting through society.
07:41And this is the Argentina that Pope Leo XIV is going to be meeting in just a couple of hours.
07:49Also, there were other statements in anticipation of the spesed and for example, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Garcia
07:59Cuerva,
08:00anticipated that the Pope would encounter a wounded Argentina.
08:05The President of the Episcopal Conference, Marcelo Colombo, also responded to one of Milei's sarcastic remarks about people who cannot
08:16make ends meet.
08:17According to Colombo, the Archbishop is an established reality and requires no further proof.
08:26The tension is also reflected in the organization of the visit.
08:32The executive branch had intended to restrict the Pope's public appearances to venues with limited capacity.
08:39Faced with this attempt to restrict popular access, the Vatican's position prevailed, facilitating as much tighter contact with the public
08:49as possible, including masses in open air venues.
08:54This is the Argentina that Pope Leo XIV is going to be meeting in just a margin of two hours.
09:03It is a very expected visit and is going as well to be closely followed by the eyes of the
09:11world.
09:12Because of the scenario that Pope Leo XIV is going to be meeting as well.
09:18Because against all odds, because against this backdrop, two activities are particularly concerning to the presidential administration at the Casa
09:29Rosa,
09:29which unsuccessfully attempted to prevent them.
09:32One is the meeting with representatives of the world of work at the Catholic University,
09:38which will include trade union leaders, will include as well representatives of social movements.
09:46And this is very important for Pope Leo XIV, to stay connected to grassroots,
09:53to stay connected to the foundations of society, which is as well the working class, which is as well the
10:00most vulnerable populations,
10:01the ones that have been feeling the most the consequences of the neoliberal measures adopted by President Millet since taking
10:11office.
10:13And this is the ones that are going as well to speak to their hearts and speak the truth of
10:21what they are enduring
10:23in the current political, social and economic context in Argentina.
10:27So this visit is going to be very symbolic because of this, because of the real intentions behind Pope Leo
10:35XIV,
10:35which is as well spreading the word of God, but also speaking to those in need,
10:41and speaking and bringing a message of solidarity, of union and resilience in the face of impositions,
10:49in the face as well of making their ends meet, and in the face of so much hard-working people.
10:58Now Pope Leo XIV is set to board the plane.
11:03The President of Uruguay, Yamandu Orsi, is paying his farewell, accompanying the Pope,
11:10taking pictures of this historic visit to the Latin American nation.
11:15Three days that have been filled with emotions, with respect, with gratitude.
11:22Let's listen to the atmosphere at this moment.
11:26We were listening a few seconds ago of the symbolic, the ceremonial farewell being paid by the government of Uruguay
11:38after Pope Leo XIV offered a mass at the Cathedral of Florida with thousands of Uruguayans.
11:46This is a visit that the people of Uruguay are going to remember as a blessing, as some analysts have
11:55been mentioning to us in the past three days.
11:59Pope Leo XIV is paying as well farewell to Uruguay, to the authorities,
12:05and he has been fulfilled his first step, his first stop in this 12-day tour.
12:15Pope Leo XIV is going to be heading to Argentina as of this moment.
12:22He has said goodbye to the people.
12:25He has shared as well a message of hope.
12:29The Pope is currently undertaking this apostolic journey across South America, visiting Uruguay,
12:37and now he's heading for Argentina to later on go to Peru.
12:42It is particularly significant because it brings the Pope into diverted contact with communities,
12:50with religious leaders, political authorities, young people, vulnerable populations across the three countries.
12:58We are going to see the same picture now in Argentina but with a deeper meaning for this visit,
13:06and that is as well paying homage to the roots of his predecessor of Pope Francis, late Pope Francis, who
13:15passed away in early 2025.
13:18So, we are very, with much expectations on everything that is going to be happening.
13:25It is going to put Argentina on the scope of the whole world, to see how these events are going
13:33to be unfolding,
13:33to seeing as well Pope Leo XIV, getting closer to communities from the working class who are going as well
13:42to be blessed with the presence of your Holiness the Pope.
13:47And also, it is going to be an opportunity to address some of the major challenges facing Latin American societies,
13:57this whole papal vessel, and including, this includes as well poverty, includes inequality, social exclusion, education, environmental protection,
14:10and the need for greater regional cooperation.
14:17Pope Leo XIV has at this very moment fully entered, prepared as well to depart towards Argentina,
14:26and this is going to be as well very followed by the eyes of the world.
14:34We are going as well to be waiting for the Pope to land on Argentinian soil on Sunday in this
14:45very much awaited scenario, very much awaited visit.
14:51His visit is concluding at this hour with a farewell ceremony at Carrasco International Airport in Montevideo, the capital of
15:02Uruguay,
15:02before precisely departing for Argentina, the second destination of his South American journey.
15:12The Argentine stage carries, as we have been informing, particular symbolic importance because Argentina is the birthplace of Pope Francis.
15:22The first Latin American pontiff, Francis Pabsey, placed considerable emphasis on social justice, poverty, migration, inequality,
15:32and the responsibility of religious institutions toward marginalized populations.
15:39So, Pope Leo XIV's visit will therefore inevitably bring attention to the legacy of his predecessor,
15:47to the relationship between the Catholic Church and Argentine society.
15:51It will also take place in a politically significant context with Javier Milley serving as president amid major economic and
16:05social debates.
16:06The agenda, the programme of Pope Leo XIV of Your Holiness there in Argentina is going to include meetings with
16:16political authorities,
16:17parties with religious representatives, with workers, young people, vulnerable communities,
16:24and also among the scheduled activities are visits to social institutions,
16:29a meeting as well with representatives of different religious traditions,
16:36and encounters with communities facing difficult socio-economic conditions.
16:41These encounters for sure are going to be providing an opportunity to address issues such as human dignity, social exclusion,
16:54economic hardships,
16:55and the importance of solidarity among peoples and countries.
17:01The Pope is as well expected during his trip to Argentina to travel to Córdoba,
17:08where he will celebrate mass and meet religious representatives.
17:13The programme also includes a youth gathering highlighting as well the importance of generations in the life of the Church
17:25and society.
17:27Also, during his trip the Pope is expected to visit a federal prison,
17:35the importance of rehabilitation, human dignity, and the rights of incarcerated people.
17:44He is as well as scheduled to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Luján,
17:49one of Argentina's most important Catholic pilgrimage sites.
17:54This visit of course is going to carry considerable religious and cultural significance,
18:01connecting the papacy with one of the country's most deeply rooted religious traditions.
18:10Following as well these activities he will depart Argentina for Peru,
18:17the final destination of his journey.
18:20Latin America as it has been known or released by Pope Leo XIV himself has a very important place for
18:33him given the roots that he developed,
18:36that he grew during his first year in the mission as a young priest of a local community there precisely
18:48in Peru.
18:49And that is why this journey is bringing together the emotion, the personal experience with the broader mission of bringing
19:01messages of unity in the face of conflicts as well.
19:11Those were live images at this hour.
19:13Pope Leo XIV has said to depart from the Carrasco International Airport in Montevideo towards Buenos Aires, the capital of
19:23Argentina,
19:24his next stop in this 12-day visit of Papal Sea in Latin America.
19:30We are going to remain connected with his agenda to keep providing you with a large some .
19:36For now we are going to
19:37.
