The birth story

Regarding the moments before the birth, he said: “We knew that Fabiola was due, we knew that the birth was coming at any moment. The doctors had planned April 20 as the deadline and on Sunday night she told me that she felt like her belly was hard and we called the doctor.
From then on, he recounted: “Everything went very fast” and the birth took place at 1.21 am on Monday.
Envelope of the choice of the name of the baby, the Head of State directly related it to that of Pope Francis: “It is well known that I recognize in him a moral leader of enormous stature.”

We feel happy and fortunate to receive him surrounded by affection in our Argentina. We appreciate all the good wishes that you have given us in these months, they have accompanied us a lot. Reality surpasses any of them, we live a dream that we longed for a long time and today we embrace with love, “he wrote for his father Fabiola.
