In Argentina's judicial and political sphere, the Federal Justice system issued a definitive dismissal of the case against Luana Volnovich, former director of PAMI and current deputy. She was under investigation for alleged irregularities in the purchase of oncology medications, but the judge closed the case after finding no evidence of fraud. On the other hand, in the Legislature of the province of Buenos Aires, the Political Reform commissions were finally confirmed, where Malena Galmarini and other political sectors secured key positions after months of intense negotiations.
Regarding security, the Argentine Federal Police dismantled a dangerous gang of hackers operating nationwide. These criminals stole personal databases from public and private organizations, such as Renaper and medical record systems, to carry out scams and extortions. Additionally, in the province of Salta, the National Gendarmerie seized four kilograms of marijuana that were ingeniously hidden inside two pillows in a parcel, along with illegal electronic goods.
Looking abroad, the political race in California, United States, is already generating great interest for the 2026 elections.
