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)

Yesid Lancheros wrote that SEMANA reported that Verónica Alcocer made 149 trips, almost all on state planes, and transported nearly 2,100 passengers. Among them were the Catalans, Alcocer's cousin, Mario Fernández Alcocer; Carolina Plata, who Eva Ferrer pointed out as an alleged frontman; and the Italian Enrico Romagnoli, investigated for alleged corruption in Ecopetrol. Lancheros indicated that a flight to Venezuela on January 31, 2023, on a state aircraft Legacy FAC 1218, was the one Ferrer mentioned in statements to SEMANA. According to Ferrer, drugs would have been transported on that flight, and 2.5 million dollars had been brought from Venezuela. He also stated that the Catalan businessman Manel Grau told him that part of that money was intended to finance Fernández Alcocer's campaign for the governorship of Sucre in the 2023 regional and local elections. Ferrer added that, according to what he had been told, there would be photographs of Alcocer getting off the plane with gray suitcases and a movement of capital between both countries would have occurred. #Corrupción #Colombia #Ecopetrol (translated)

Fons wrote that it was discouraging for him that the drivers depended not only on their cars, as had always been the case, but also on the software that was programmed from the pits. He added that they seemed more like passengers than heroes and that what had happened had just shown it. #F1 #Pilotos #Tecnología (translated)

David Moreno wrote that it was possibly the darkest day in Formula 1 that he could remember, even worse than Spa 2021 and other episodes that he described as ridiculous.

Tronco stated that rejecting DNU 70/2023 would mean reverting to the Rental Law and a scheme that reserved part of cabotage for Aerolíneas Argentinas. He affirmed that, since the repeal of Law 27.551, the supply of rentals has increased by 360% for houses and 320% for apartments in Mendoza, 155% in Rosario, 40% in Jujuy, and 28.4% in Córdoba. In the AMBA area, he added, the supply grew by 211.9% and the real rent per square meter decreased by 26.6%. He also attributed the repeal of Law 19.030 to the DNU, which, he wrote, reserved 50% of cabotage for Aerolíneas and prohibited two companies from competing on the same route. He stated that 2025 closed with 50.6 million passengers, a historic record, and cited increases in international traffic in Salta (61%), Córdoba (54%), and Bariloche (51%), and in cabotage in Río Hondo (82%), Santa Fe (30%), and Neuquén (22%). Additionally, he noted that from September 2026, the Neuquén–Chos Malal route, which had been inactive for 13 years, would resume operations. He concluded that rejecting the DNU would mean returning to the previous scheme and that, in his opinion, everyone would lose. #LeyDeAlquileres #DNU70 #Cabotaje (translated)
