Airport strike in Argentina to affect flights during four-day weekend
The strike was planned by airport healthcare workers, firefighters, inspectors, administrative staff and land control personnel employed by the National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC) who are represented by ATE. According to the union, the strike was announced after the government failed to pay ANAC workers a salary raise that had been agreed by both parties. “Any cancellation or reschedule will be the sole responsibility of the national government,” said in an X post ATE leader Rodolfo Aguiar. The measure was suspended after the salaries were paid without the raise and a meeting was called for them to negotiate. However, ANAC has still not paid the raise, which led to the union to resume the protest.

Chief of staff Adorni in hot water for taking his wife on official trip
Opposition deputies submitted a request for information to the lower house, after Adorni confirmed during an interview that his spouse, Bettina Angeletti, was “invited by the President’s office” to join the official delegation. “The truth is, it was my wish that she would accompany me,” he told journalist Eduardo Feinmann, from A24 news channel, speaking from New York. Critics highlighted that just a week ago, the office of the Chief of Staff issued an Administrative Decision that limited official trips abroad to a maximum of one official per international event or activity, to optimize resources. The measure requires substantiated justification for expanding delegations and establishes that the chief of staff is the person responsible for approving the transfer of ministers or other officials in equivalent positions. According to Clarín newspaper, Adorni’s wife was not the only spouse accompanying the Argentine officials in New York.

Forensic anthropologists identify 12 bodies found in dictatorship detention center
The Argentine Team of Forensic Anthropology (EAAF, for its Spanish initials) has identified 12 bodies that were found during an excavation at the site where a clandestine detention center known as La Perla operated during the dictatorship in the central province of Córdoba. The bodies belonged to victims of the military regime who were presumably held at La Perla and remained disappeared until now. La Perla was one of the largest clandestine detention, torture and extermination centers of the last military dictatorship. It is estimated that between 2,200 and 2,500 people were held captive there, most of whom remain disappeared. “It has been 50 years since the genocidal coup, and TRUTH is still coming to us,” said an X post by H.I.J.O.S., an organization formed by children of dictatorship victims.

The transfer-of-power ceremony took place at 12 p.m. at the National Congress in Valparaíso, an hour and a half from the capital, Santiago. However, the biggest talking point were the missing figures, particularly Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The right-wing president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, also missed the event, which Vice President Félix Ulloa attended in his place.

Milei rails against Argentine business leaders in New York
President Javier Milei once again railed Argentine business leaders on Tuesday, calling Paolo Rocca and Javier Madanes Quintanilla, two of the country’s leading industrialists, “crony businessmen.”Milei delivered his words to investors in the opening of Argentina Week 2026, an economic forum in New York looking to promote investment opportunities in the country. Although the president insisted that his government was not against “doing business,” he immediately targeted part of the Argentine business community, accusing them of having sustained for years a system of privileges linked to political power. Javier Madanes Quintanilla owns aluminium giant Aluar and tire manufacturer Fate, that shut down two weeks ago. In his March 1 speech to kick off the legislative year in Congress, Milei criticized them without singling anyonout. While in New York, the president held meetings with key figures in the financial sector, including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.

Milei: ‘I am the most Zionist president in the world’
President Javier Milei once again showed his geopolitical alignment with Israel and the United States amid their war with Iran, saying that the latter is Argentina’s enemy and that he is the most pro-Israel leader in the world. “I am proud to be the most Zionist president in the world,” Milei said, while speaking at the Yeshiva University, a Jewish institution in New York. The Argentine leader is currently on his 15th trip to the U.S. as president. On Sunday, in another gesture towards Israel, Milei once again visited the tomb of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, an Orthodox rabbi considered to be one of the most important Jewish leaders of the 20th century. “Therefore, they are our enemies.”The Argentine president mentioned that another reason for considering Iran an enemy is because he has a “strategic alliance” with Israel and the United States.
