BUENOS AIRES (ACI/EWTN Noticias) - En declaraciones al diario argentino Clarín, la hermana Yvonne Pierron, ahora de 85 ańos, recordó que "Bergoglio nos ayudó mucho, se ocupó del caso y tomó contacto con la Embajada francesa".

La religiosa, que tiene una foto del Ché Guevara junto a su Biblia, recordó que "me alegré cuando lo eligieron. Primero, porque es latinoamericano, y que sea argentino me llena de orgullo, porque él ha sido un luchador para que todos seamos iguales".

La religiosa, nacida en Alsacia -entonces en Alemania y hoy en Francia- radica actualmente en la aldea guaraní Ojo de Agua, en Argentina.

Yvonne Pierron ingresó a las Misiones Extranjeras a los 17 ańos, llegando a Argentina en 1955.

Al llegar a Argentina y encontrar la dictadura pensó que "Hitler está acá, porque llegué después del golpe militar. Yo me acuerdo haber visto, justamente en la Plaza de Mayo, lo que vi en mi país durante la ocupación alemana de Francia: a los caballos adiestrados para matar a la gente con las patas".
