Good morning!
Argentina follows in the footsteps of Brazil in 2018 and the United States in 2016. After many years of decline, with inflation running rampant and the economy in free fall, Javier Milei’s ultra-populist message has resonated deeply among Argentines eager for change. He will be president.
Argentina. Javier Milei, a far-right populist candidate, will be the new president of Argentina, according to provisional results. Yesterday he won the elections with a wide margin (56%-44%) over Sergio Massa, current Minister of Economy. Donald Tremp was one of the first to congratulate him. “Today the reconstruction of Argentina begins,” Milei said when celebrating the victory.
Loop. The Israeli Army has found a Hamas tunnel under Al Shifa hospital, a discovery that confirms that the terrorist group operated from there. Diplomacy is finalizing the details for the release of several hostages, while the death toll in the strip exceeds 13,000.
Europe. The future of the European Union lies in complete integration, according to former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta, who is working on a report for the European Council on the Single Market. Without a single voice, Letta does not see how the EU can confront the strength of China and India.
Spain. Pedro Sánchez plans to announce the composition of the new Government today. Sumar aspires to five portfolios. The most likely thing is that Podemos will be left without any ministry having not accepted anything other than Equality for Irene Montero.
Jihadism. The radicalization of Muslim inmates is common in many European prisons. To avoid this, Spain has launched a deradicalization program. The objective is to prevent the most vulnerable prisoners from falling into the networks of the most radical and opting for violence.
Energy. After multiplying the installation of solar panels by six in the last three years, there comes a pause. Self-consumption of sunlight is not as attractive because electricity is cheaper, interest rates are higher and aid takes time to be collected. The market has fallen by 60%, but it has a way to go because only 10% of single-family homes have installed plates.
Sex videos. Everything is ready in Oviedo to hold a trial against 30 people accused of spreading the sex video of a couple that was recorded without knowing it. They face three years in prison. This process will mark a before and after in the persecution of those who viralize private sexual content.

Women’s Football. FC Barcelona wins 5-0 against Real Madrid in a League match at the Lluís Companys stadium in front of 38,707 fans. Barça has won 12 games in a row against the Madrid team.
Tennis. Like Alcaraz on Saturday, Sinner could not beat Novak Djokovic yesterday, who beat him by a double 6-3 in the final of the Masters Cup. It is the seventh that the Serbian conquers. His level of play remains far above that of the younger stars.
History. Two hundred years after his death on the island of Saint Helena, repudiated by almost everyone, Napoleon stirs up passions, especially in France. Yesterday one of his famous hats was auctioned for almost two million euros at the Fontainebleau castle, one of his residences.
