Political challenges emerge in Argentina and Peru

In Argentina, the administration of President Javier Milei has faced several legislative setbacks. Efforts to achieve an absolute majority in the Senate's Constitutional Affairs Commission to suspend primary elections (PASO) failed. Additionally, a reform to the Central Bank's Organic Charter was halted in the Senate, amid discussions regarding the election system for its board and allegations involving Santiago Bausili.

In Peru, discussions regarding governance focus on the necessity of the executive branch exercising its functions effectively. Key priorities include addressing rising criminality and managing emergency responses to the El Niño phenomenon through infrastructure and rapid response strategies.
