Argentine President Javier Milei, known for his strong anti-socialist stance and previously referring to Pope Francis as "an imbecile who promotes communism," recently had their first official talks at the Vatican. This meeting comes amid Argentina's ongoing economic challenges and political shifts towards libertarianism, highlighted by Milei's efforts to address the country's financial crises and political dysfunction. Milei's administration is drawing attention for its commitment to fighting antisemitism and terrorism, as well as for Milei's populist approach, demonstrated by his choice to travel on commercial flights, engaging directly with citizens by greeting all passengers one by one. This approach contrasts sharply with previous leaders, breaking protocols and is part of Milei's broader agenda to reshape Argentina's economy and its role on the world stage, promoting libertarian values of small government and free markets, and making good on Argentina's commitment to fighting antisemitism and terrorism. Milei's choice to fly commercial, aimed at saving taxpayer money and reducing carbon emissions, further sets him apart as a leader closely connected with the people.

This is how Milei travelled back to Argentina 🇦🇷, breaking protocols and without a private plane, greeting all passengers one by one. Most politicians before him have to travel as incognito as possible to avoid the wrath of the people when they travel. https://t.co/OmFpQ3Cqc9
