    Constitutional Chamber Extends Term of Substitute Magistrates

    The Constitutional Chamber issued a ruling extending the term of substitute magistrates until the Legislative Assembly chooses substitutes, preventing the chamber from going into technical closure. This decision was made due to a blockade imposed by deputies of the People's Sovereign Party (PPSO) on the election of substitute magistrates. The Assembly did not elect substitutes because PPSO deputies did not contribute their votes to any of the candidates presented by the Supreme Court of Justice. The ruling prevents the Constitutional Chamber from acting in cases where there are inhibited proprietary magistrates.

The Senate leaves for recess on August 7, and the bill still lacks the 60 votes it needs.

    NATO Plans to Boost Nuclear Deterrence in Europe Amid Russian Threats

    NATO is working on plans to strengthen its nuclear deterrence in Europe due to threats from Russia. Options include deploying additional US nuclear weapons, potentially in countries like Poland, Finland, and Lithuania.

The plans mainly concern non-strategic nuclear weapons intended for use against military targets near the battlefield.
