Strike confirmed in Peruvian region of Puno
May 30 |
The president of the Unified Front of the Puno Basins, Peru Felix Suasaca, confirmed that this Tuesday there will be what they call a “dry strike” throughout the region, in protest against the repression unleashed by the government of President-designate Dina Boluarte.
According to Suasaca, the protest is being carried out because “there is still no justice for the people who died during the protests against the government” appointed by Dina Boluarte.
He also mentioned that the purpose of this strike is the resignation of the president appointed since last December, the dissolution of the Congress and the call for a constituent assembly.
According to the union leader, “a dry strike paralyzes and there is no movement in each of the jurisdictions where we are, in each district and province included. Those of us who have always protested are told that it is a crime, but, for us, it will never ever be a crime”, he explained.
He informed that the demonstrations in the main cities are going to be carried out according to how each one of the districts are doing, since he said that they are self-convened: “here there are no leaders, we are diligent and we are together with the people and fighting for them”, he said.
On the other hand, he detailed that from midday of this Tuesday the Puno region will be paralyzed, so there will be no vehicular movement, nor commerce, in the 13 provinces united in the strike.
“We here in the Puno region are the resistance, tomorrow we have this dry strike where the 13 provinces are consolidated, therefore, the region will have this dry strike to see that so far there is no justice for the brothers killed in the city of Juliaca,” said Suasaca.
For his part, the general secretary of the Defense Front of the Northern Cone of Arequipa (Fredicon) Felipe Domínguez Chávez, pointed out that next June 14 the protests against the government of Dina Boluarte will be resumed. Leaders and groups from the south, such as Puno, Tacna, Moquegua and Ayacucho, will participate in this Third Seizure of Lima.

Bolsonaro diagnosed with skin cancer amid coup conviction
Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has been diagnosed with skin cancer while serving a historic sentence for attempting a coup d’état. His medical team confirmed that the lesions have been removed and that, for now, he does not require further procedures, though he will need regular monitoring.
On Wednesday, September 17, Bolsonaro’s doctors confirmed the diagnosis. The announcement comes shortly after the former leader was convicted of orchestrating an attempted coup.
According to his physician, Claudio Birolini, Bolsonaro has “squamous cell carcinoma, which is neither the most benign nor the most aggressive form — it is intermediate.” Birolini warned, however, that this type of skin cancer “can carry more serious consequences.”

Milei praises Paraguay’s growth, calls Argentina’s last 20 years a ‘decline’
Argentine President Javier Milei praised Paraguay’s economic growth over the past two decades during a speech before the Paraguayan Congress on Wednesday (Sept. 17, 2025), crediting it to incentives that favored capitalism. At the same time, he contrasted that progress with what he described as Argentina’s deepening “decline” during the same period.
“If we compare the last 20 years of Paraguay with those of the Argentine Republic, we will find almost diametrically opposite results,” Milei told lawmakers during a special session of Parliament on the second and final day of his official visit to Asunción.
“While you have not stopped growing, we have deepened our decline. If we understand incentives as the engine of capitalism, Paraguay focused on preserving and strengthening them, while Argentina dedicated itself to chaining, directing, and suffocating them,” the right-wing leader stated.

Trump administration launches large-scale immigration operation in Chicago
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump intensified a large-scale immigration operation in the Chicago area with the arrival of additional Border Patrol agents on Tuesday and the presence of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem during a raid.
Noem posted a video on her X account showing the immigration operation, in which DHS reportedly removed “violent criminals” from the streets. The footage shows Noem observing the arrest of a man taken into custody at his home early Tuesday morning at an undisclosed location.
“I was in Chicago today to make it clear that we will not back down,” the secretary wrote. “Our work is just beginning,” she added.
The warning from Noem was echoed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Gregory Bovino, who posted a video on X Tuesday showing multiple Border Patrol vehicles arriving in the city with the caption: “Chicago, we are here!”
Bovino, who led the immigration crackdown in Los Angeles implemented since last June, said the team will remain in Chicago to continue the mission they started in California.
Operation “Midway Blitz” is currently focused on the Chicago metropolitan area and its suburbs. Activists and residents have reported sightings of masked agents and unmarked vehicles in predominantly Latino neighborhoods.
