Voters in Venezuela rejected the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) jurisdiction over the country’s territorial dispute with Guyana and backed the creation of a new state in the potential oil-rich Esequibo region in a Sunday referendum. The court said in April it had jurisdiction, though a final ruling on the matter could be years away. There was no organized campaign against the referendum and analysts expected voters who opposed it to stay home. He has said the ICJ ruling on Friday prohibits Venezuela from “annexing or trespassing upon Guyanese territory”. Brazil said on Wednesday it had intensified “defensive actions” along its northern border amid the territorial dispute.

Sometimes these translation trouble columns have a theme and sometimes, we have to face machirulos and children of rigor with financial wrists who spit upwards. In English, the literal translation to “spit up” refers to baby puke. From big professional tasks to doing household chores, a child of “rigor” or “severity” will not get things done without nagging, pressure, or some form of impending doom. Although I think journalists in general, as a group of watchdogs constantly on deadline, make for quite the “rigorous” family.

However, in an interview with Futurock radio station on Sunday, Argentine President Alberto Fernández suggested that won’t be the case. “We want to sign it because we think that an agreement between the EU and Argentina is correct in geopolitical terms,” the president said. President-elect Javier Milei’s administration is expected to support the deal with the EU, although he has criticized it in the past. “We would be grateful if outgoing president Alberto Fernández could finish the deal between Mercosur and the European Union,” she said. “The outgoing government clearly did not want to give Milei a free pass,” a senior diplomat with knowledge of the negotiations told Reuters.

Guillermo Ferraro, president-elect Javier Milei’s pick for infrastructure minister, described Vaca Muerta as the “core” to plan freight transport in Argentina and announced two developments the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) administration is interested in pursuing: the North-Patagonian train and an aqueduct. In a TV interview, Ferraro laid out his vision for financing infrastructure during Milei’s upcoming administration. “Everything the private sector can do, the private sector will do,” he said. Freight trains will be one of their infrastructure priorities, and he used the Vaca Muerta shale oil field as an example. Since there is valuable cargo, an opportunity arises for the private sector, naturally.

It’s Argentina’s national cricket team, and they represent a tradition that goes back over 200 years. The Argentine men’s national cricket team dominates the South American Cricket Championship, lifting it for a record 12th time in 2023, ten more than anyone else. Argentina is one of 96 associate members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), meaning that cricket is played there, but it does not qualify as a full member. “In those days, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) used to visit with a team that was virtually the English national team. “We have important clubs that played cricket long ago and have grass and synthetic fields,” said Pereyra.
