As expected, the social networks have already echoed the words of Francisco. “The thing about the Pope trolling Almeida is absolutely great”, “I’m not religious but the Pope’s trolling Almeida made me laugh”, or “The truth is that Almeida doesn’t even get it right to greet the Pope”, are some of the comments that are read on Twitter.

However, the mayor of the capital has decided to ignore this moment and has shared two photographs of his meeting with the Holy Father. “Today, in audience with Pope Francis in the Vatican. I have conveyed to him the gratitude and affection of the capital of Spain for granting us the Holy Year of San Isidro, patron saint of Madrid, which we celebrate on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of his canonization” Almeida wrote on his Twitter profile.
