The president of Bolivia, Luis Arce, said Tuesday that a new world order is being built in which the United Nations (UN) has a fundamental role, during the 78th session of the General Assembly of the multilateral organization.

“The pending challenges are still numerous and enormous, but today we are at the dawn of a new international configuration. We are convinced that we are witnessing the construction of a new World Order, a situation in which the United Nations Assembly, following the principles for which it was created, must play a leading role”.

“We must put an end, once and for all, to the arms race and prioritize sincere dialogue and the diplomacy of the peoples,” said Arce, while stressing that “it is urgent that our nations unite in a collective effort, with diverse voices.”

Similarly, the Bolivian president warned about the increase in military spending in the world, which “has reached historic figures”. Until April 2023, the world invested more than 2.24 trillion dollars in weapons and the war industry.

Another of the challenges presented by the Bolivian head of state stressed the need to change the unjust international order that burdens our peoples, and to sit down to debate within the framework of the United Nations, to build a new pact for the future.

“We are obliged to address the needs of present and future generations in an equitable manner. We cannot allow a child to starve to death today to ensure a snack for another child not yet born. Eliminating poverty and inequality today will prevent unimaginable economic and ecological distribution conflicts in the future,” said Arce.

On the other hand, the president reiterated that “it is necessary and urgent to change the capitalist system in times of neoliberalism, which multiplies and reproduces the forms of domination, exploitation and exclusion of the great majorities”.

The climate crisis requires concrete actions and renewed commitments, said Luis Arce before the UN, who also referred to Bolivia’s vision, where the sustainability of development has strong roots “in our vision of Living Well and harmony with nature”.

Characterizing the international scenario as complex, the Bolivian dignitary said at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Summit that his country reaffirms its commitment to achieve them, although he insisted that to do so, they need an unprecedented collective action of historic proportions.

“Discarding capitalism and promoting policies that are more humane and compatible with Mother Earth are other structural actions. To achieve the objectives we must deploy strategic investments from each country,” he added.

Paraguay summons Brazilian ambassador over Itaipú espionage scandal

Paraguay summoned the Brazilian ambassador in Asunción on Tuesday to demand “explanations” and called its own representative in Brasília for consultations following Brazil’s acknowledgment of an espionage operation. The Brazilian government, led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, attributed the operation to the previous administration.

The surveillance effort aimed to uncover Paraguay’s position in now-suspended negotiations with Brazil regarding the pricing of electricity from the binational Itaipú hydroelectric plant, according to reports in the Brazilian press.

The Brazilian government “categorically denied any involvement in the intelligence operation,” stating in a Foreign Ministry communiqué on Monday that the espionage was carried out under former President Jair Bolsonaro’s administration (2019-2023).

“The operation was authorized by the previous government in June 2022 and was annulled by the interim director of the (state intelligence agency) ABIN on March 27, 2023, as soon as the current administration became aware of it,” Brazil’s government asserted.

Paraguay’s Foreign Minister Rubén Ramírez announced that Brazilian Ambassador José Antonio Marcondes de Carvalho was summoned “to provide detailed explanations” regarding the operation. Additionally, Paraguay recalled its diplomatic representative in Brasília “to report on aspects related to the intelligence activity conducted by Brazil regarding Paraguay’s government affairs.”

Elon Musk to step down as government advisor, per Trump insiders

President Donald Trump has informed his inner circle that Elon Musk will be stepping down from his role as a government advisor, according to a report by Politico today.

Citing three individuals close to Trump, Politico states that the president is pleased with Musk’s leadership at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he has implemented significant budget cuts. However, both have agreed that it is time for Musk to return to his businesses and support Trump from a different position outside the government.

A senior administration official told Politico that Musk will likely maintain an informal advisory role and continue to be an occasional visitor to the White House. Another source warned that anyone thinking Musk will completely disappear from Trump’s circle is “deluding themselves.”

According to the sources, this transition is expected to coincide with the end of Musk’s tenure as a “special government employee,” a temporary status that exempts him from certain ethics and conflict-of-interest regulations. This 130-day period is set to expire in late May or early June.

Milei vows to make Argentina so strong that Falkland Islanders “choose” to join

Argentine President Javier Milei reaffirmed his country’s claim over the Falkland Islands (known as the Islas Malvinas in Argentina) and praised the role of the nation’s armed forces during a ceremony marking the “Veterans and Fallen Soldiers of the Malvinas War Day,” commemorating 43 years since the 1982 conflict with the United Kingdom.

Argentina continues to assert sovereignty over the islands, arguing that Britain unlawfully seized them in 1833.

“If sovereignty over the Malvinas is the issue, we have always made it clear that the most important vote is the one cast with one’s feet. We hope that one day, the Malvinas residents will choose to vote with their feet and join us,” Milei stated.

“That is why we aim to become a global power—so much so that they would prefer to be Argentine, making deterrence or persuasion unnecessary. This is why we have embarked on a path of liberation, working to make Argentina the freest country in the world and once again the nation with the highest GDP per capita on the planet,” he added.
