Argentina is voting in crucial legislative elections, renewing 127 deputies and 24 senators under the new Single Paper Ballot system. The results will redefine governability and the balance of power between the ruling party, Peronism, and the traditional opposition.
The complainants warned that this represents "one of the most severe persecutions against indigenous communities," which "opens the door to further persecution aimed at any organization, community, or collective that could obstruct the policy of looting."
The confirmed resignation of Mariano Cúneo Libarona from Argentina's Justice Ministry follows the unexpected departure of Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein, highlighting the internal tensions and fractures within the libertarian government.
"In the case of an emergency, coordination is everything; responsibility, professionalism, dedication, and love for the people are essential," stated the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum.
The reason behind the unexpected resignation of Argentina's Foreign Minister just four days before the legislative elections was a dispute with Karina Milei, the libertarian leader's sister and Secretary General of the Presidency.
The decision by CONAIE comes after the brutal repression ordered by Noboa against popular mobilizations that extended for more than a month in Ecuador. However, the indigenous movement emphasized that the "struggle does not end."
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth claimed, without providing evidence, that the victims "were engaged in drug trafficking in the Eastern Pacific" and warned that these strikes "will continue, day after day."
CONAIE reported that "for 30 days, the government of Daniel Noboa has responded with bullets, tear gas, and arrests to a people demanding justice and dignity."
Argentine congresswoman and senatorial candidate for La Libertad Avanza, Lorena Villaverde, faces allegations from U.S. authorities regarding drug trafficking. This "narco-scandal" marks the second of its kind within Milei's party, compelling the libertarian to distance himself from his own candidates.
Petro emphasized the urgent need for citizens to take to the streets again in response to threats from the occupant of the White House against the sovereignty and stability of Colombia. "It is in unity that we defend ourselves from a monster like Trump," he asserted.
