Overview

  • PSOE-Sumar leaders have begun evaluating Iberdrola and Endesa proposals to extend nuclear plant operations past 2027 without raising consumer bills in exchange for tax relief.
  • A Cluster 17 survey conducted July 21–24 found 70% of Spaniards support revisiting the 2027–2035 reactor closure schedule and 78% believe ideology outweighs science in the debate.
  • Negotiations between PRO and La Libertad Avanza in Buenos Aires remain deadlocked as libertarians insist on only fifth and sixth deputy slots and no Senate placements before the August 7 alliance deadline.
  • Mauricio Macri has publicly accused La Libertad Avanza of seeking a dominant role in the pact and is pressing for higher list positions to secure PRO’s representation in Congress.
  • President Javier Milei is securing provincial alliances in Mendoza, Chaco and Entre Ríos and convening governors ahead of key parliamentary sessions on funding and social spending.
