Fede Sturzenegger stated that a tweet from Flor Carignano about DNU 70/23 showed, in his opinion, that Kirchnerism was against the benefits that the norm had granted to Argentines. He described it as a force protecting the "elite" and claimed that its proposals would lead to stagnation and poverty. In defending the decree, Sturzenegger said that after the repeal of the Rental Law, four times more apartments were being published and that prices had dropped by more than 30% in real terms. He also stated that, since the DNU, the prices of medications had fallen by 20% in real terms; domestic tickets by 51%; and tourist packages by 40%. He added that in 2025 there were 33 million passengers and that international connections from cities in the interior increased by 70%. Regarding foreign trade, he attributed part of the 63% drop in appliance prices and the 43% drop in textiles to the changes in the decree. He also said that more than 750,000 satellite internet connections allowed access for almost 3 million people in the interior, and that tourism reforms had increased the number of agencies by almost 40% and employment in the sector by more than 10%. Sturzenegger pointed out that some labor and land provisions had been taken to Congress, while others had been challenged in court. He stated that the DNU had removed trade restrictions, reduced paperwork, and allowed contracts in the chosen currency, among other changes. He concluded that the debate about the decree should be kept in mind in the elections of the following year. #DNU70 #Kirchnerismo #Argentina (translated)

The war between Russia and Ukraine is intensifying the destabilization of the Black Sea, leading to a significant increase in global cereal prices due to the disruption of exports and attacks on agricultural infrastructure in the region. #MarNegro #GuerraUcraniaRusia #CrisisAlimentaria (translated)

Sometimes it's very easy to declare a trade war —or any war—, but it's very difficult to stop it. The European Commissioner for Trade, Maros Sefcovic, announced this Friday from Beijing a preliminary agreement with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Wentao, which aims to reduce exports of Chinese hybrid vehicles to Europe, facilitate licenses for essential rare earths to the continent, and promote access to the Chinese market for key European sectors such as olive oil, auto parts, and footwear. #UE #China #Comercio (translated)

Daniel Noboa Azin stated that the authorities had captured Jackson Felipe Zambrano, whom he described as one of the main financiers of alias Pipo. According to him, the network was hiding shipments valued at USD 1.765 billion among exports and was allocating the money to weapons, hitmen, and acts of violence against Ecuadorian families. Noboa indicated that the National Police led the operation in Ecuador along with Europol and authorities from Spain, Belgium, Portugal, and the Netherlands. He added that the Gran Fénix–Cantabria operation resulted in 21 arrests and 23 searches, and asserted that those who fired, financed, or hid behind companies would be held accountable by justice. #Justicia #Ecuador #Seguridad (translated)

Pablo Quirno reported that he had met with Marlin Khiew, vice president of Seatrium, and had toured the company’s shipyards in Singapore, which he described as leaders in marine and offshore engineering. There, he pointed out, was the FLNG Golar Hilli Episeyo, from Golar, a floating plant that would process natural gas from Vaca Muerta to produce LNG intended for export. Quirno indicated that Seatrium would refurbish the facility to operate off the coast of Río Negro starting in mid-2027, as part of the Southern Energy project. He added that it would have a capacity to produce 2.45 million tons annually and an expected operation of 20 years, which would allow converting Vaca Muerta resources into long-term energy exports. He also stated that Argentina was consolidating as a significant player in the global LNG market and linked that outlook with investment and clear rules for production and export. #GNL #VacaMuerta #EnergíaRenovable (translated)
