    Francis and Mujica full of praise for each other share 45 minutes in the Vatican

    The ‘good neighbour’ and the  ‘wise man’ fine-tuning

    “The Pope is very pleased for having met with a wise man”, was the official report from the Holy See following the 45 minute private audience of Francis with Uruguayan president Jose Mujica, the longest so far with a head of state. Although Mujica is a declared atheist and did not attend the inauguration of the first Latinamerican pope last March, he did request an interview with Francis, which took place on Saturday.
