Businessman Eduardo Eurnekian He today criticized La Libertad Avanza presidential candidate Javier Milei for his criticism of Pope Francis, whom he accused of defending “bloody dictatorships” in an interview with North American journalist Tucker Carlson. “Milei’s statements are completely out of place. He is not up to the task of judging or giving an opinion about the Pope from every point of view,” he said.
“The Pope is the Pope, he has an enormous responsibility and we too have respected the figure for his religious principles and ideas for two thousand years. “What objection do we have against the Pope?” added the businessman, for whom the Pope is “a source of pride.” In this context, he also emphasized his wish that Francisco would visit Argentina soon.
Eurnekian, in turn, took the opportunity to deny the recent rumors and explained that the economist and national MP is currently his employee. “Worked in my company, which employs more than 3,000 people. “I was near the finance department,” he explained, emphasizing that the employment relationship had already ended.
In this sense, he pointed out that, according to his bosses, Milei had performed excellently in the company, but that he was once again distancing himself from his political views. “Everyone is free under the law, but I am obliged to express my opinion when people who were a source for the company are involved. With this in mind, I state my position, I do not share what Mr. Milei said, nothing more,” he concluded.
