Overview
- Manuel Adorni, set to deliver his first report to Argentina’s Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday morning, will be backed in the gallery by President Javier Milei and top ministers after the Casa Rosada inner circle met to script the appearance.
- Opposition lawmakers prepared thousands of questions as Adorni faces judicial inquiries over undeclared property and spending on foreign travel, while the government keeps pushing an electoral overhaul that would scrap primary contests known as PASO, add a “clean record” rule for candidates, and change party finance rules.
- Following Monday’s capture of Audias “N” (“El Jardinero”), identified as a CJNG leader, Mexican authorities reinforced security in Nayarit and reported no injuries or deaths despite vehicles and shops set on fire, with officials also confirming an extradition request in his case.
- In Peru, prosecutors opened a preliminary homicide probe after five civilians were killed in Colcabamba on April 25, did not seek pretrial detention for eight implicated soldiers, and drew calls from Congresswoman Ruth Luque for the Fiscalía—not the police—to lead an independent investigation as families reported delays and scant information.
- Beyond national capitals, Santiago del Estero’s governor Elías Suárez announced cash relief for provincial employees—a 600,000 peso Workers’ Day bonus on April 30 and a 1.2 million peso midyear bonus in two payments—underscoring how provinces are cushioning households under tighter national budgets.
