Argentine Vice president Cristina Fernández Kirchner made her way past the followers gathered at the building entrance of the C5N cable network last night for her first interview in six years. Expectations were high in the days and hours leading up to the interview. Last Friday, Cristina Kirchner published a letter on her website saying she would not be running for president, or any other office. “What I published the other day is very clear,” she said, despite repeated requests from her followers for her to reconsider. “One third of the electorate is voting out of anger,” referring to the popularity of right-wing candidate Javier Milei.

Ecuador’s Constitutional Court on Thursday paved the way for early legislative and presidential elections, rejecting a series of cases brought by opposition politicians to block President Guillermo Lasso’s decision to dissolve the National Assembly. The embattled leader, who faced an impeachment attempt by opposition politicians, cited Ecuador’s serious political crisis and domestic turmoil as reasons for making the move. Earlier on Thursday, Ecuador’s electoral court said elections brought forward from 2025 could take place on August 20. Lasso had faced an impeachment attempt by opposition politicians over accusations he disregarded warnings of embezzlement related to a contract at state-owned oil transportation company Flopec. Those elected to power in the early elections in August – including lawmakers and the president – would only serve until regularly scheduled elections are held in 2025.

The oil pipeline, which extends over 427 kilometers, will be used to transport oil from the Vaca Muerta shale oil and gas field. “Exporting oil to Chile shows the value of Vaca Muerta as an engine for Argentine growth,” Energy Secretary Flavia Royón said. Customs sources calculated a monthly income of US$86 million to Argentina and reported that the line filling has already started. “In this development process we now have almost 365 days of uninterrupted gas exports to Chile, as well as crude oil exports,” Royón added.

Ecuador’s President Guillermo Lasso dissolved the National Assembly in a decree on Wednesday, bringing forward legislative and presidential elections, a day after he presented his defense in an impeachment process. Lasso will now remain in office for up to six months, ruling by decree, while national electoral authorities set the date for the elections. Those voted into power in the early elections would only serve until the regularly-scheduled 2025 elections take place. The impeachment process was the first against an Ecuadorian president in decades. Ninety-two votes from the 137-member legislature would have been needed to remove Lasso from office.

It was a chilly early morning in the Marcos Paz penitentiary when Jorge Rafael Videla, the infamous dictator, was found dead in his cell at age 87. The human rights organizations and survivors of the dictatorship era fought long and hard for the dictators to be tried and sentenced to jail. Originally from Mercedes, a town in Buenos Aires province, Jorge Rafael Videla was a military man who built a long career between 1944 and 1975. “We Argentines should not be ashamed, because what happened was a defense of human rights, threatened by terrorism,” he said. “This incident,” wrote Cox, “calls for just the kind of action that President Videla has been promising in Washington.

The connection between Latin America and the Cannes Film Festival, which started today, has been rather weak in the past decades. An Argentine favorite in Cannes has also made his return to the Palais de Festivals: Lisandro Alonso will present his latest film Eureka in the non-competitive Cannes Première. An Argentine-Spain co-production, the short film None of That (Argentina/España), directed by Patricio Martínez and Francisco Cantón, will compete for the Palme d’Or in that category. This was an admirable film, a lot better than the weak story that inspired it,” Borges once said to Radio de España. The Cannes Film Festival will run until Sunday May 27.

In a ruling published today, the Supreme Court lifted last week’s precautionary measure suspending elections in Tucumán province. However, the Court cited Manzur’s withdrawal as a candidate as reason enough to lift the suspension. Tucumán then requested that the precautionary measure be lifted. According to today’s ruling, Alfaro refused to drop the amparo, but the Court stated that it would nevertheless lift the suspension. This is not the only re-election bid put on hold by the Supreme Court — last week San Juan’s Governor Sergio Uñac was declared ineligible to run for a third consecutive term.

Ecuadorean authorities have detained a former energy minister amid an investigation into alleged bribery linked to state oil firm Petroecuador, the attorney general’s office said on Monday. An investigation of Xavier Vera, Ecuador’s former minister of mines and energy, began last October following several corruption allegations, including that he arranged jobs at Petroecuador in exchange for bribes. “The attorney general’s office, with the support from (Ecuadorean police) executed an arrest warrant against Xavier V., within an investigation for alleged bribery,” the attorney general’s office wrote in a message via Twitter, referring to Vera. “The former minister has left the country more than once since these processes began. He isn’t running away from the investigation, he isn’t running away from the process,” Vera’s lawyer, Carlos Sanchez, told local television channel Ecuavisa.
