It’s the president’s first big test despite only having been in office for 45 days.

You can’t live off your salary anymore – it’s not enough. The people are here to defend their nation.” Such displeasure and anger is one reason Milei is now facing trouble pushing his agenda through the opposition-dominated Argentine Congress. Inflation and skyrocketing living costs were battering Argentines before Milei took office in November. Consumer prices in the South American country rose nearly 95 percent in 2023, [noted](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnpJXsP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvdzB0ZG8wZG9ndC8_bGhfYWlkPTQ1MjExMTkmbGhfY2lkPXZ1djF2dDd4Z3BXA3NwY0IKZbrsEMJlkWxSF1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODlAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAABa) the BBC.

Inflation is now running at 200 percent annually. As the Buenos Aires Times [wrote](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnpJXsP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvOGZnenM5bGZnNS8_bGhfYWlkPTQ1MjExMTkmbGhfY2lkPXZ1djF2dDd4Z3BXA3NwY0IKZbrsEMJlkWxSF1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODlAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAABa), after issuing a series of controversial decrees to undercut the public sector, Milei sponsored sprawling omnibus legislation that contained 660 changes to current regulations with the goal of liberalizing and dollarizing the Argentine economy. However, even though the president enjoys the support of nearly 56 percent of voters, according to polls, lawmakers balked. The president then cut 150 articles in the text to move the bill out of the legislature’s committees. On Friday, the lower house of the legislature approved the bill. It’s likely to be amended further in the upper house, Al Jazeera [wrote](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnpJXsP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvaXYxMnRkNXNxNi8_bGhfYWlkPTQ1MjExMTkmbGhfY2lkPXZ1djF2dDd4Z3BXA3NwY0IKZbrsEMJlkWxSF1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODlAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAABa). The courts, meanwhile, are yet another issue.

The ZANU-PF party won all the by-elections held in six constituencies, which were formerly represented by lawmakers from the opposition. The party of President Emmanuel Mnangagwa now holds 190 of the 280 seats in parliament, providing them with the two-thirds majority required by the constitution to pass constitutional amendments. They had fallen short of that benchmark in the August 2023 general election. Observers said ZANU-PF could use this new tool to remove the presidential two-term limit and allow 81-year-old Mnangagwa to run again. However, the opposition decried the party’s clean sweep on Saturday as fraud. A self-proclaimed interim leader of the opposition party Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), Sengezo Tshabangu, recalled the six lawmakers which left open seats in the districts. Opposition supporters attacked the move, insisting that Tshabangu was a ZANU-PF “stooge,” imposed on the party to help the ruling party from within. CCC chairman Nelson Chamisa [quit](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnpJXsP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvbm40aW1ubW5sNi8_bGhfYWlkPTQ1MjExMTkmbGhfY2lkPXZ1djF2dDd4Z3BXA3NwY0IKZbrsEMJlkWxSF1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODlAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAABa) the party during the recalls in January. Regardless, the ruling party won those open seats. Mnangagwa took power with the army’s support after a 2017 coup ousted Zimbabwe’s longest-serving head of state, Robert Mugabe. Previously an ally of Mugabe, Mnangagwa promised democratic reforms upon becoming president. He has since denied clamping down on the opposition. However, last week, opposition figure Job Sikhala was convicted of inciting public violence after already spending nearly two years in pre-trial detention, the Associated Press [reported](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnpJXsP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvbXdsZjdscXllcy8_bGhfYWlkPTQ1MjExMTkmbGhfY2lkPXZ1djF2dDd4Z3BXA3NwY0IKZbrsEMJlkWxSF1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODlAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAABa). Sikhala, described by his supporters as the face of resistance to the government’s repressive measures, had been accused of inciting violent protests following the assassination and dismembering of a CCC activist.

In a mini-referendum, 54 percent supported the measure by socialist Mayor Anne Hidalgo to triple the parking fees for SUVs coming from outside Paris, according to results released by City Hall. Despite a low turnout – just 5.7 percent of eligible voters went to the polls – the new fees will be enforced from Sept. 1 onwards. Non-resident owners parking their SUVs in the French capital’s most central districts, featuring the historical center and landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the car-clogged Champs-Élysées, will have to pay $19.5 per hour for the first two hours, and $243 for a six-hour stay. Fares for smaller vehicles remain at $6.40 and $80, respectively. In the outer districts, home to the tourist draw of Montmartre, the cost will rise to $12.80 per hour for the first two hours and $160 for six hours. Hidalgo has long criticized SUVs by saying they are too large for Paris’ narrow streets and have impacted public health and the environment. Speaking to the AP, one young resident said she voted in favor of the additional fees because of environmental concerns and parking issues posed by large cars. However, opponents of the measure highlighted the high costs for families depending on cars to drive out of the city. A drivers’ lobby group launched a petition to defend the freedom to choose one’s vehicle, Reuters [reported](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnpJXsP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvOWM3aG5qNnM1Zy8_bGhfYWlkPTQ1MjExMTkmbGhfY2lkPXZ1djF2dDd4Z3BXA3NwY0IKZbrsEMJlkWxSF1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODlAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAABa).

Since she became mayor in 2014, Hidalgo has implemented numerous measures to make the city less car-friendly and incentivize residents and visitors to walk, bike, or use public transit systems. In 2016, she closed a busy highway along the River Seine. The embankment is now used by pedestrians, joggers, and cyclists and turns into a beach in the summer months. Ahead of the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games taking place in Paris this summer, City Hall has planned to add more bike lanes.

More than half of the 3.2 million Puerto Ricans identify as mixed-raced, and the US census reported 230,000 people identifying as Black. At a highly attended hearing at San Juan’s Capitol building, Afro-Caribbean advocates of the bill recounted instances where they faced discrimination because of their hair. One explained she had to refuse a job offer that was given to her on the condition that she lose her locks. Another said her child could not attend school until he cut his hair. Meanwhile, local government officials opposed the bill, saying it was an unnecessary repeat of existing federal and Puerto Rican legal frameworks prohibiting discrimination, citing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Nonetheless, limits to Title VII were set by a 2016 US Court of Appeal ruling that an Alabama employer’s no-locks policy did not violate it. At the same hearing, Puerto Rico Senator Ana Irma Rivera Lassén, who co-authored the bill, asked, “What is the problem with adding explicit protection?” Other proponents including renowned author Mayra Santos-Febres said the bill would “create a protocol” and close a legal vacuum over certain hairstyles such as braids, locks, and Bantu knots. Texas last September implemented a similar measure. However, a Black high school student has [faced](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnpJXsP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvdHB0dG42eDZxYS8_bGhfYWlkPTQ1MjExMTkmbGhfY2lkPXZ1djF2dDd4Z3BXA3NwY0IKZbrsEMJlkWxSF1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODlAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAABa) suspension for wearing locks in Mont Belvieu, even after the law was passed. Texas is part of a group of 24 states that have aligned with the CROWN Act – short for “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair” – banning hairstyle discrimination in cases including employment, housing, and education. An attempt to pass a federal version of the act failed in the Senate in 2022.

Researchers in Italy recently discovered that honeybees steal pollen from the bodies of bumblebees, in a [study](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnpJXsP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvZnVmcnhqcTlxbC8_bGhfYWlkPTQ1MjExMTkmbGhfY2lkPXZ1djF2dDd4Z3BXA3NwY0IKZbrsEMJlkWxSF1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODlAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAABa) marked as one of the most extensive documentations of bee-on-bee theft. Pollen stealing is not new in bees: In the United States, honeybees have been caught robbing other bees in a number of states, including Kansas and California. But this behavior was not documented outside the US until 2019 when researchers Tiziano Londei and Giuliana Marzi took a video of thieving bees at Mount Antola in Liguria province. The footage showed honeybees shamelessly stealing pollen from red-tailed bumblebees. The team explained that the thieves would target mostly male bumblebees because they were more laid back about the theft than others. To determine how common this criminal behavior was, the researchers revisited the crime scene in the following three years and also observed the insects at two other sites about 15 miles away. Honeybees on other sites stayed on the straight and narrow, but those on the first site carried on with grand theft pollen. For instance, they collected pollen from only three of the 31 flowers the researchers observed in 2021, but stole from 28 of the available 66 bumblebees. Even so, the authors said this behavior occurs in areas where pollen is difficult to find in flowers – but where there are plenty of other bees around.
