Spain declares three days of mourning for Pope Francis

MADRID, April 21, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Spain will observe three days of mourning
to honour Pope Francis after the Argentine pontiff's death on Monday aged 88,
Justice Minister Felix Bolanos said in a televised address.

"We regret the death of a good man and a great pope. Therefore, the
government of Spain will declare three days of official mourning," Bolanos
said, praising Francis's "reformist" 12-year papacy that "will leave a legacy
for history".
