Tuesday, August 23, 2016 New leak of 14,900 emails to trouble ClintonUS Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton speaks at a gathering of law enforcement leaders at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, last Thursday. The State Department could make public the first batch of emails in October, weeks before the Democratic nominee faces Republican rival Donald Trump in the November 8 election. State Department employees are due to craft a timeline for the release at a meeting on September 23. The Federal Bureau of Investigation found Clinton was “extremely careless” with sensitive information by using the private server but recommended against bringing charges against Clinton. Last week, The New York Times reported that Clinton told federal investigators that Powell had suggested she use personal email for unclassified email when the two spoke over dinner.

In 2012, a video released by La Nación and Clarín showed two young men being tortured in a police station in General Güemes, Salta Province. On Friday, one of the young victims, Mario Rodríguez, was found dead, hanging from a tree. Rodríguez, Martínez, and two other youths in Salta were accused of raping a young girl in 2009. A video that was leaked in the autumn of 2015 showed a police officer in Tucumán Province brutalizing a teenager in his cell. Former Interior Security Secretary Sergio Berni once blamed protestors for getting shot during a protest against layoffs on the Pan-American Highway.

While speaking at a pharmaceutical plant’s inauguration today, President Mauricio Macri urged workers to cooperate with their employers rather than “throw wrenches in the works,” surprising most media outlets and pundits who expected him to talk about his recent setback in his attempt to raise gas prices. “The process [of economic growth] has already begun. Following last week’s Supreme Court ruling suspending gas bill increases for homes, the Macri administration called for a public hearing on September 12 to, once again, present its proposal to raise gas prices. The government still hopes to implement the rate hikes, which it deems crucial to fixing the country’s “energy crisis” and to improving the economy as a whole. Hearings are intended to inform the public and are not legally binding, however.

Vice President Gabriella Michetti found herself embroiled in controversy after her domestic employee, Norma Elizabeth Sánchez Rojas, declared that Michetti does not abide by the Labor Laws and severely underpays her. That’s 37 percent less than minimum wage for domestic employees, which is AR $6,322.50. The second most important authority in the country paid her employee half the legal value. Rojas made these statements in the context of the case investigating the theft of roughly AR $250,000 and US $50,000 from Michetti’s house. The money was allegedly stolen on November 22nd of last year: the same day that Macri won the ballotage elections.

In any case, Diego definitely looks good in a dress, and Ivanna can pull off a clean shaven head and a moustache. This scene goes a long way to describe Bife, the queer band Ivanna Colonna Olsen and Diego Fantin formed, but it’s hard to put the real essence of their work into words. Their songs are varied and include tangos, cumbias, jazz, bossanova, punk, pop, reggae and folk. Three weeks after they started playing together back in 2014, they had already recorded their first album, Con Amor, mostly composed of tangos and cumbias. “We feel like cultural production is one of the most important tools at everyone’s disposal to spread their ideals.” Ivanna and Diego clearly use this tool well.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is set to visit Argentina in September on a consultation mission for the first time in 10 years in order to evaluate the country’s economic policies and investigate the country’s economic outlook. IMF representatives will arrive in the country on September 19th and will stay for 13 days. Once they leave the country, the reports will go directly to the head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, and its contents could be assessed in November. Back in January, Macri and Finance Minister Alfonso Prat-Gay said they would be opening Argentina’s doors to IMF audits once again. The IMF already sent a Technical Mission to Argentina in June this year to evaluate the quality of the official Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data.

Londoners rejoiced over the weekend as the Tube operated around the clock for the first time. Trains running every 10 minutes between 12:30 AM and 5:30 AM meant drunken revelers could afford that extra pint at the bar, knowing they wouldn’t have to shell out cash for a cab. Porteños have taken to Twitter to express their frustration that the City isn’t following London’s lead:@bamovilidad Uds que quieren ser primer mundo, copien esto: Subte 24 horas los fines de semana!! https://t.co/yHC9UuHa8C — Santi (@Santi5150) August 16, 2016“If you want to join the first world, copy this: Keeping the Subte open 24 hours on the weekend!”Londres avanza con servicio 24 horas para el Subte.

Federal Judge Ariel Lijo and Prosecutor Guillermo Marijuán are now tasked with investigating the claims. Until all that is cleared up, Javier Zabaljauregui, the Deputy General Director of Customs Control, will be taking over. In an interview with Clarín on Sunday, Centurión assured he was “victim of a mob-like operation” involving former intelligence officers. They want to take down an official and a team who are investigating issues that have upset a lot of powerful people. Everyone hated the system and the World Trade Organization (WTO) even criticized it, saying it was too restrictive on imports.

Monday, August 22, 2016 Troika seeks to relaunch EU at Italy summitGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel (centre), taly’s Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (right), and French President François Hollande (left), leave a press conference during a meeting at the chancellery in Berlin. The location for today’s summit carries particular resonance as Europe confronts Islamic extremist violence, slow economic growth and continued anxiety over the implications of the Brexit vote. Today’s mini-summit will serve as a warmup for an EU-wide summit in Bratislava in September designed to chart the EU’s post-Brexit way forward. According to recent Eurostat figures, growth was flat in Italy in the second quarter, compared with 0.4 percent growth in the EU. Youth unemployment was even worse: 36.5 percent in Italy, exceeded in the EU only by Spain, and nearly twice as high as the EU average of 18.5 percent.

Monday, August 22, 2016 Huge protest in Chile against private pensionsDemonstrators take part in a march demanding changes to the national pension system in Santiago, yesterday. Under the current system, which was started in the 1980s during the dictatorship of general Augusto Pinochet, six private pension funds, known as “AFPs,” manage some US$160 billion in assets. Opponents of Chile’s private pension system say it forces workers to give their earnings to for-profit funds that do not ensure a dignified old age for all Chileans. But the protesters said they wanted the current system totally dismantled. Pinochet-era planCitizens are upset over the private pension system that has regularly paid out pensions under the minimum wage, currently set at just over US$380 a month.

Government and cgt remain on negotiating terms Monday, August 22, 2016 Peronist unions and Macri: a year of criticism but no strikesPresident Mauricio Macri’s relationship with Peronist trade unions has had its ups and downs — but as president it’s been a much more quiet one than what a casual observer would expect, given their different ideological backgrounds. That protest did not include a walkout either, in contrast to industrial action that took place during the last year of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner administration. While Moyano, Caló and others have sometimes spoken critically of Macri and suggested that a general strike could be on the cards, such a move never actually took place so far. The continued flow of state funds to union-run healthcare schemes, instead, has been central in keeping Macri and the Peronist unions on the same page. Unionists also see a good relationship with Macri as important, some say in order to avoid the close scrutiny that potential corruption cases, involving some of their representatives, could bring.
