Agustín Caulo on the pope's visit to Argentina: "The President will receive León XIV at Aeroparque"

President Javier Milei will receive Pope Leo XIV at the foot of the plane when the Supreme Pontiff lands at Aeroparque, as part of his anticipated official visit to Argentina. This was confirmed by the Secretary of Worship of the Nation, Agustín Caulo, during an interview with Eduardo Feinmann, in which he also announced that the Government is considering broadcasting some moments of the visit through a national chain so that all Argentinians can follow them.

The confirmation represents one of the most important details in organizing the Pope's arrival, which generates enormous expectations both in the Government and in Argentine society. As Caulo explained, the official agenda has already been confirmed by the Vatican and has not undergone any changes, so the planned activities to welcome the Holy Father remain in place.

"The President will receive Pope Leo XIV at the foot of the plane," assured the official, who expressed his enthusiasm for the event and highlighted the Government's intention to share it with all Argentinians.

Milei will receive Pope Leo XIV at Aeroparque

According to what the Secretary of Worship explained, the plane carrying the Pope will arrive at Aeroparque from Uruguay, the first stop on his tour of the region. Once on Argentine soil, Leo XIV will be personally welcomed by Javier Milei, in an institutional gesture that will mark the beginning of his visit to the country.

Caulo also announced that the Government is considering using the national chain to broadcast some of the most significant moments of the papal agenda, especially those instances in which the President accompanies the Pontiff.

"There are very significant moments during the visit," explained the official, who noted that the intention is for all Argentinians to enjoy those encounters.

Although the possibility is still under evaluation, the initiative aims to give a national dimension to a historic event for the country, which will once again receive a Pope after several decades.

The Pope's agenda in Argentina: offering to San Martín and meeting at Casa Rosada

Caulo also detailed the first activities that Leo XIV will have after landing at Aeroparque.

The first stop will be the monument to the Liberator General José de San Martín, located in the square in front of the San Martín Palace, where the Pope will make a floral offering in tribute to the Argentine national hero.

Subsequently, he will move to Casa Rosada, where he will meet with Javier Milei and members of the national Cabinet.

The first day will conclude at the Palacio Libertad, with an event that will bring together authorities, representatives of civil society, and members of the diplomatic corps.

The Government highlighted that the agenda remains as agreed with the Vatican and that the Pope's good health has allowed all planned activities to be maintained.

Caulo's emotion at the arrival of Leo XIV

During the interview with Feinmann, the Secretary of Worship also shared the personal side of the efforts that made the papal visit possible.

Caulo, 36 years old and Catholic, particularly recalled the trip to Rome in which he accompanied Chancellor Pablo Quirno to deliver the invitation letter sent by Javier Milei to the Holy Father.

The official described that meeting as a deeply moving experience and recalled the emotion he felt when they received confirmation that Leo XIV would travel to Argentina.

"We hugged. It was a truly very emotional moment," he recounted.

Additionally, he mentioned that he had the opportunity to be in front of the Pope and described the experience as a moment of profound peace, even though the meeting was brief.

The visit of Leo XIV represents an event of enormous institutional and religious relevance for Argentina. With Javier Milei personally leading the reception and an agenda that includes political, diplomatic, and social meetings, the Government is preparing to welcome the Pontiff on a day that seeks to involve the entire country.
