@Argentina 2023 #Elections: After the polls closed, the authorities reported that 74% of the total voters voted; this is one of the highest electoral participation in Argentina history, but it is lower than the 2019 elections (80%).

At 6:00 p.m. (local time) the elections in Argentina have closed.

This Sunday more than 35.8 million Argentines were called to elect president, vice president, 130 deputies, 24 senators and 43 representatives of Parlasur.

Political analysts from various countries have all confirmed that Argentina is experiencing the same Black Swan theory effect that the #UnitedStates, #Brazil, and #Chile went through. The electoral landscape is murky and yielding unexpected results.

#US wants to create military base on territory contested by #Venezuela, #Guyana — minister

The US government plans to set up a military base on a territory of Guyana and Venezuela in order to exacerbate the dispute between the two nations and plunder energy resources, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil Pinto said.

"Today, the government of the United States of America seeks to appropriate our oil resources by using Exxon Mobil, which has incorporated the government of Guyana into its ranks. Guyana is granting oil concessions in an undelimited maritime territory, in total violation of international law. Unilateral disposal of a disputed territory is not permissible, but the Republic of Guyana persists in its illegal conduct," he told the 78th session of the #UN General Assembly.

#Brazil will face the largest El Niño peak ever recorded in history; an unusual heatwave will affect a significant portion of the country with extreme temperatures and possibly setting records in some states.

The exceptional episode at the end of winter and the expected temperatures for this week and the next will surpass historical average values for maximum temperatures in all five regions of the country, with a high potential for record-breaking temperatures in September, and perhaps even all-time records.

The intense heat, with temperatures nearing 40°C to 45°C, will impact a large part of the Southeast, Midwest, the interior of the Northeast, Santa Catarina, Paraná, as well as Rondônia, Tocantins, areas in the Central-South of Pará, and part of the #Amazonas region.

Police and hooded men confront each other near the La Moneda Palace in #Chile

Several armed and hooded individuals penetrated the perimeter fence and caused damage to one of the entrances to the Government House in the Chilean capital. The Carabineros (Military Police) intervened, leading to violent clashes.

Thousands of Chileans took to the streets to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the #coup d'Ă©tat that ended the Government of socialist President Salvador #Allende (1970-1973) and began the dictatorship of Augusto #Pinochet (1973-1990).

INTERNATIONAL OPERATION AGAINST CHILD PORNOGRAPHY: Argentine police have arrested 12 people and seized a large amount of material as part of an international operation against the sexual exploitation of children, according to local authorities. The arrests were made in the Argentine capital and the province of Buenos Aires, where around 700 electronic storage devices were also seized.

According to the Public Ministry of Buenos Aires, these actions are part of the operation 'Allies for Childhood,' led by #Argentina and simultaneously implemented in the #UnitedStates, #Brazil, #Chile, #Ecuador, #Panama, #Paraguay, and #PuertoRico.

"Five people were arrested in Chile, one in Ecuador, and the results from the other involved countries are still awaited," the #Argentine capital's Public Ministry reported.

The investigation was made possible through the use of the investigation system provided by the American platform #Icaccops, used to track the trafficking of child sexual exploitation material on the #internet.

Members of the Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), a U.S. NGO dedicated to combating child trafficking and exploitation, founded by Tim Ballard, a former U.S. Homeland Security special agent portrayed by Jim Caviezel in the movie "Sound of Freedom" (2023), were present at the Public Ministry's monitoring center in Buenos Aires on Monday.

Rafael Correa is the Former Left-wing Populist, Democratic-Socialist Anti-American President of Ecuador, a great ally of Hugo Chavez and a Member of the SĂŁo Paulo Forum (FSP) and its proxy organization, the Puebla Group

The assassination of the right wing candidate is to deligimize his candidacy and preventing Ecuador to become the next #Venezuela of #Brazil.

#Biden, like many other US presidents is doing it's best to take back south America after the massive populist wave of the past 30 years. #SouthAmerica is one of the foundations of US global war against #China and #Russia and most importantly the people of the region, and in this game, sacrificing a pawn is worth losing the chess game they are setting up in the region. The current target is #Ecuador.

The spokesman for the US State Department, Vedant Patel, has described #Bolivia's interest in acquiring Iranian-made drones as worrying, after La Paz has assessed their use to control borders and thus combat smugglers and drug traffickers.

"Obviously this is concerning, and we are closely monitoring any efforts by #Iran to expand its influence in the Western Hemisphere. And we take seriously any efforts by other countries that are interested in deepening military partnerships with Iran or acquiring unmanned aerial vehicles." Iranian crews," Patel declared sanctions by the US authorities," the spokesman added.
