Argentine President criticizes world financial order before the UN
September 20 |
The president of Argentina, Alberto Fernandez, criticized this Tuesday the global financial architecture during his participation in the 78th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN).
“The global financial architecture only serves to concentrate income and marginalize vast regions of the world. They bet on speculation rather than development”, denounced the South American leader in the highest forum of the UN, whose headquarters is located in the U.S. city of New York.
He recalled that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) increases its interests every time the United States (US) Federal Reserve raises its rates to contain national inflation.
According to the head of state, the international financial order does not show willingness to adapt to a world that wants to recover the lost equity, but pursues to impose the same policies that deepened inequality and misery in the world.
“We must eliminate the distortions produced by subsidies and we must prohibit food from being the object of financial speculation. Both discourage the investments needed to increase production to help meet the world’s growing demand for food,” he said.
In his speech of approximately 18 minutes, the president also spoke about the Malvinas Question and ratified Argentina’s legitimate rights over these territories occupied by the United Kingdom.
“We regret that the United Kingdom continues to refuse to resume negotiations. We question that it continues to develop unilateral activities of exploration and exploitation of natural resources in the disputed area, thus contradicting resolution 31/49 of this Assembly, as well as its military presence in the South Atlantic,” he said.
The head of state reiterated his call to Iran to cooperate with the Argentine judicial authorities to advance in the investigation of the attack against the AMIA (Argentine Israelite Mutual Association), which took place in 1994.
Fernández condemned the U.S. blockade of Cuba and the economic sanctions imposed on Venezuela.
He demanded the international community to take the pertinent actions so that the popular will dictated by the elections in Guatemala be respected.
He also called attention to Azerbaijan’s blockades in the Lachin Corridor, which have provoked a new crisis among the Armenian people.
“The motto of the 2030 Agenda is that no one be left behind. Let no one lose forever the path of justice and development. We are convinced that it is a noble goal that is true for individuals and true for peoples. But please, let us not turn it into a dead letter. Afterwards, repentance does not repair the lives spoiled, the lives without future, and much less the lives lost”, concluded the dignitary.

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.
