Political and judicial reforms discussed in Argentina and Guatemala

In Argentina, public debate continues regarding judicial independence and constitutional sovereignty. Discussions have emerged concerning the impact of international treaties on domestic laws, specifically following a ruling that declared the application of laws regarding the age of criminal responsibility unconstitutional based on international recommendations. Additionally, political commentary suggests Patricia Bullrich could serve as a potential successor to Javier Milei if economic conditions improve by 2027.

In Guatemala, Attorney General Gabriel García Luna has outlined new strategic lines for the Public Ministry (MP). The agency faces the challenge of cleaning the justice system following previous corruption scandals involving figures such as Consuelo Porras and Rafael Curruchiche. Key priorities include investigating the sale of positions within the Judicial Branch and addressing cases of impunity that have historically protected corrupt officials while hindering investigations into public fund misappropriation.
