Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, passed away yesterday at the age of 88. During his papacy, he advocated for an open-door church and left a legacy as a reformer of the Catholic Church. His death was due to a stroke that caused him to go into a coma and experience circulatory failure.
In life, Francis was recognized as a progressive and liberal leader, which led to widespread mourning in the international community. From world leaders to political figures like Sheinbaum, Trump, Putin, and Milei, condolences were expressed for his passing.
The Argentine pontiff preached by example, promoting love for one's neighbor through his actions and speeches. His legacy will remain in the memory of all those who were touched by his message of openness and compassion.
Francisco's death has marked the beginning of a succession process in the Vatican. Meanwhile, in the financial sphere, there has been reported concern over Trump's pressures on Powell, which has led to a drop in the value of the dollar and in the New York markets. Analysts have warned about the risk of affecting the monetary independence of the Federal Reserve, which could prolong the current economic crisis. A decrease in interest rates and the use of renewable sources in a low percentage against the predominance of fossil energy are expected to be factors to consider in the global financial landscape.
On the other hand, tariff agitation has brought with it a decrease in oil prices, while the National Development Plan has faced failures in achieving goals related to clean energy.
