The election of the new pope, Leo XIV, was met with varying reactions, including that of President Javier Milei. Following the proclamation of American Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as successor to Francis, Milei posted a digital image on social media of a lion dressed as the supreme pontiff. The publication quickly went viral, reaching over 97 thousand views in a few minutes.
Some users celebrated the gesture, while others questioned it, considering it a trivialization of the religious event. The image references the name chosen by the new pope, Leo XIV, and his party symbol. Milei's peculiar publication generated debate and diversity of opinions on social media.
In response to the election of the new pontiff, Javier Milei wrote the message: 'THE FORCES OF HEAVEN HAVE GIVEN THEIR VERDICT CLEARLY. No more words Mr. Judge.' Through this publication, the president expressed his stance in a striking and controversial manner, marking his style on social media.
