The head of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo Association, Hebe de Bonafini, had words of praise for Pope Francis since, thanks to him, she recovered her faith by establishing such a close relationship. “I had completely lost faith and when the relationship began, my faith returned, so necessary… Without faith you cannot live, and thanks to that faith I talk to my children every night“.
The Human Rights referent recalled that “He had invited me many times to the Vatican. It seemed to me that I should not go because I had fought with him many times. Until one day he sent a bishop to my house, with whom I chatted and accepted the invitation to visit him ”.
“I traveled with a doctor and my secretary, not knowing when I was going to be treated because I had been with (Mauricio) Macri for 12 minutes and I didn’t know when, where or how, nothing” and then added: “I didn’t know how to start. It is very difficult to start a conversation with someone you are fighting with. We greet each other and I tell him ´excuse me, I brought the water because they told me that the Vatican is poor, and he tells me: ‘I am going to show you that it is not´, he came out and brought me a piece of candy”.
Hebe said that during the 2 hours and 40 minutes that her first interview with Francisco lasted, she served to get ready, talk about the current political and economic situation of the country and the disappeared. “After that talk, everything continued as a friendship,” said the president of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo Association in dialogue with Eduardo Valdés in the first “Puentes” program, on Radio AM-530.
“I believe that the human being can always be recomposed. I do not believe that man is born bad, nor that a child is born a thief, nor poor. We are all born under the same sky and with the same things; simply that there are very powerful men who do not allow one to grow and have the same opportunities as others”, said Hebe referring to faith and humanity in general.
To conclude, the head of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo Association celebrated the Third World Church and assured that Father Carlos Mugica “was a capo.”
