Orriols and the Catalans, first

Aliança Catalana (AC) currently constitutes a unique political phenomenon in Spain. It is the party that is indisputably growing, according to all polls. More than Vox, since some surveys and the elections in Castilla y León point to a certain stagnation of Santiago Abascal’s party, pending what the Andalusian elections on the 17th may dictate. But the case of AC is a perfect assembly in demographic terms, as it is gaining potential voters not only from abstention but from several parties.

Argentina: out of the WHO and with the highest hantavirus case rate

Although Argentina formalized its exit from the World Health Organization (WHO) last March 19, a year after having communicated its intention to leave this organization, the hantavirus outbreak detected on the Hondius cruise ship, which had departed from the Argentine town of Ushuaia, does not have a direct relationship with the resignation to coordinate health efforts with the rest of the countries, because there has not been enough time for the negative consequences that it may have in the longer term to develop.
