That cost absorbed part of the patrimonial gain of more than 8 trillion pesos produced by the international rise in the metal. The BCRA later responded that its gold position, including the hedges, yielded a net gain of US$2,505 million and accused the agency's leadership of acting "with purely political ends."Land law: cornered, the ruling party awaits a rescue from the Court, while it orchestrates a maneuver to derail the opposition sessionUnder pressure from its allies and cornered by the imminent mega-session that threatens to overturn DNU 70/23, one of the government's political banners, the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) bloc in the Chamber of Deputies accelerated its moves to contain the opposition advance. With that aim, it called a committee to debate the Inviolability of Private Property bill, which already has Senate approval, and in which it is preparing to incorporate a chapter or provision on the Land Law, as LA NACION anticipated.

And, of course, to secure support for the abolition of the PASO primaries in 2027. But within the government, not all actors share the same urgency. The cousins Martín and Eduardo "Lule" Menem, chief lieutenants of General Secretary Karina Milei, show a willingness to reach agreement but, according to sources who spoke with LA NACION, do not intend to make a deal with their allies at any cost, much less put La Libertad Avanza's (LLA) own territorial structure at risk.Request by Máximo and Florencia Kirchner to suspend the seizure of their assets unanimously rejectedThe Federal Criminal Cassation Chamber rejected Máximo and Florencia Kirchner's attempt to suspend the auction of their assets to execute the sentence in the Vialidad case, in which their mother Cristina Kirchner is serving a six-year prison sentence.

"They unmasked the left's 'good manners' mask, which has many points in common with the German National Socialist Workers' Party. It would do her good, since she is a political scientist, to review her categories, given that she has a lot in common with what she calls the extreme right," Milei said on his social media, in reference to O'Donnell.Weather forecastNational Meteorological ServiceWeather
