Overview
- Urban transport unions in Lima and Callao confirmed they will carry out a general strike on Tuesday, June 2, blaming the government for not implementing a promised targeted subsidy for city operators.
- Unions say the executive issued urgent subsidy measures only for cargo and interprovincial services, leaving Lima and Callao urban operators excluded and prompting the walkout demand.
- Peru's electoral authority has activated pre-runoff restrictions including a ban on publishing polls, limits on campaign events and a prohibition on electoral propaganda before the June 7 vote.
- Argentina published Decreto 407 to reglament key articles of its new labor reform, changing rules on pay receipts, sick leave, dismissals and platform-worker registration as the government presents the move as modernization of labor procedures.
- Political pressure on the Milei administration is rising because fare increases took effect in the AMBA region and investigative reporting found 1,120 Banco Nación mortgages to politically exposed persons, a development followed by a criminal complaint and an expected sworn-asset filing by Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni.
