    Argentina's Poverty Rate Increases in First Half of 2026

    Argentina's poverty rate has increased to 32.3% in the first half of 2026, up from 28.2% in the second half of 2025, according to official figures released by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC). This marks a reversal of the downward trend seen since mid-2024 and comes despite President Javier Milei's claim that his administration has lifted 14 million people out of poverty since taking office. Experts attribute the increase to accelerating inflation and deteriorating purchasing power.

    Spain Sees Decrease in Evictions, Most Due to Rent Arrears

    According to data from the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), the total number of evictions in Spain decreased by 45.4% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. There are two main types of evictions: for failure to pay rent and for failure to pay mortgages. Evictions due to rent arrears, which accounted for 64.9% of the total, decreased by 53.9%. Meanwhile, those due to mortgage foreclosures decreased by 18.3%. The eviction process can take between 6 months and a year, involving several steps including court admission, notification, trial, and finally, the eviction itself. The Spanish government has attempted to implement measures to protect vulnerable families from evictions, including a moratorium on evictions for vulnerable families without alternative housing, but these measures have faced challenges and delays.

Despite this frustration, support for Democrats remains limited. Trump's approval rating among rural voters stands at 48%, with only about 4 in 10 approving of his economic performance. This discontent could impact the upcoming midterm elections, as rural voters make up a significant portion of the Republican base.
