In his speech, the president slighted the country’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, reigniting tensions from earlier this month by describing Sánchez’s wife Begoña Gómez as “corrupt”. “With his behavior, Milei has pushed the relationship between Spain and Argentina to its most critical point in recent history,” Albares said, adding that Spain is demanding a public apology from Milei. Two weeks ago, Madrid and Buenos Aires had already traded barbs after Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente suggested Milei was a drug user. Milei’s office released a statement condemning the remarks and accusing Sánchez of carrying out policies that have brought “death and poverty” to Spain.

Hundreds of protesters in Peru’s capital marched on Friday to demand the scrapping of a new law that describes transgender people, among others, as having a mental illness so they can access health benefits. The protesters reached the health ministry offices, but no clashes were reported. “We’re not going to let them.”Critics of the law have argued that its update of the country’s PEAS health regulations was unnecessary since existing rules already allowed for universal access to mental health services. In a statement released shortly after the law was promulgated, the health ministry insisted that it rejects the stigmatization of LGBTQ+ people and that the legal language simply seeks to ensure more complete health coverage. Despite the ministry’s argument, the protesters were not persuaded and some medical experts advocated for the law to be corrected via an amendment.

The National Council of the Justicialist Party (Partido Justicialista, or PJ) has unanimously approved party elections on November 17 to replace former President Alberto Fernández, who is on leave as head of the party. The motion also reflects Monday’s decision by Máximo Kirchner to hold elections on that day for Buenos Aires province’s PJ, of which he is the current head. He said it was “operationally necessary” to hold national and provincial elections on the same day to promote voter turnout. Buenos Aires Province is the most populous in the country, home to 37% of the electoral roll. He accused the organization of “appropriating the structure” of the BA province Justicialist Party, ignoring “elementary party rules, such as complying with the basic requirements for any companion to be candidates” and “bulldozing everything” to bring forward party elections by a year.

The opposition’s plan B of sending the Ley Bases back to the Chamber of Deputies for a second review gained ground on Monday after ruling party La Libertad Avanza (LLA) was unable to pass a final version of the bill and take it to a vote on the Senate floor. Political sources have already ruled out that they will be able to do so on Tuesday. The key issue, however, is that differences within the ruling party have emerged. The ruling party is at a crossroads: either continue sweetening the deal, or stand firm and risk the bill getting bogged down in the back and forth. If the bill is not passed this week, there will be no time to do so before May 25.
