The Vice President of Argentina, Victoria Villarruel, expressed her concern for the health of Pope Francis in a post on her personal social media. Villarruel shared images of her last visit to the Vatican and recalled the meeting she had with Jorge Bergoglio last October.
In a message she disseminated, Villarruel declared: "In these difficult moments for Pope Francis, our thoughts and prayers are with him, wishing him a swift recovery." This gesture from the Vice President contrasts with her stance on other current issues.
Victoria Villarruel has been critical of the measures implemented by the government of Alberto Fernández and the World Health Organization (WHO), considering that they violated human rights. This position has led her to have differences with President Javier Milei, with whom she maintains a tense relationship.
Despite the controversy surrounding Villarruel, her attention and support for Pope Francis during a delicate moment have been well received by her supporters. The Vice President has kept a low profile regarding certain controversial topics, focusing on her responsibilities as the head of the National Senate.
