¿Quién es Javier Milei? El precandidato presidencial de derecha que irrumpió en la política argentina

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:58:30 GMT

(CNN Español) — Javier Milei llegó a la política argentina y rompió los esquemas. El economista —según se define— “liberal libertario” logró lo que no lograron otros: colarse entre los espacios hasta ahora dominantes, el peronismo del Frente de Todos y el espacio del expresidente Mauricio Macri, Juntos por el Cambio. Algunas encuestas lo ubican como un candidato competitivo que podría llegar a un balotaje en las próximas elecciones presidenciales de octubre.Para comprender el fenómeno reciente de la política argentina, hay que remitirse al origen. Milei cultivó su popularidad rotando en sets de televisión como comentarista económico. Con su estilo vehemente y provocador, rápidamente se volvió un personaje indiscutido del prime time local, y algunos rasgos excéntricos de su personalidad terminaron de impulsarlo al estrellato televisivo.Algunos ejemplos del estilo de vida que hizo públicos: vive con cinco perros mastín inglés que pesan alrededor de 100 kilos cada uno, de los que...

¿Quién es Sergio Massa? De las idas y vueltas con el kirchnerismo a la precandidatura presidencial por el peronismo

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:58:30 GMT

(CNN Español) — Intentó ser presidente de Argentina en 2015 por fuera del peronismo, pero sin éxito. Antes de este viernes, cuando se anunció su precandidatura, Sergio Massa, ministro de Economía, no había confirmado ni rechazado esa posibilidad. Durante las semanas previas decía estar abocado a su cargo actual para tratar de resolver la alta inflación, de más de 100% interanual. Esa cifra es, quizás, su peor enemiga para llegar a la Casa Rosada.Ahora, tras el anuncio de Unión por la Patria en su cuenta de Twitter, Massa entra en la contienda presidencial. “Unión por la Patria tiene lista de UNIDAD. Por responsabilidad institucional, política y social, nuestro espacio ha decido conformar una lista de unidad que nos representará en las próximas elecciones”, se lee en el mensaje. Y luego continúa: “Nuestro candidato a presidente será Sergio Massa y lo acompañará como candidato a vicepresidente Agustín Rossi”.¿Quién es Sergio Massa?Sergio Massa es el terc...

Shippers warned to stay away from Iranian waters over seizure threat as US-Iran tensions high

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:58:30 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Western-backed maritime forces in the Middle East on Saturday warned shippers traveling through the strategic Strait of Hormuz to stay as far away from Iranian territorial waters as possible to avoid being seized, a stark advisory amid heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S. A similar warning went out to shippers earlier this year ahead of Iran seizing two tankers traveling near the strait, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of the world’s oil passes. While Iran and the U.S. now near an apparent deal that would see billions of Iranian assets held in South Korea unfrozen in exchange for the release of five Iranian-Americans detained in Tehran, the warning shows that the tensions remain high at sea. Already, the U.S. is exploring plans to put armed troops on commercial ships in the strait to deter Iran amid a buildup of troops, ships and aircraft in the region.U.S. Navy Cmdr. Timothy Hawkins, a spokesman for the Mideas...
