It was an eventful week for President Néstor Kirchner and one that could potentially have a defining influence on October's presidential elections. Firstly, his government was involved in a diplomatic spat with the US for granting Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez permission to address a rally attacking George W Bush while the US President was in Uruguay. Kirchner's wife, Senator Cristina Fernández, meanwhile, was boosting her profile and cementing the government's foreign-policy priorities by visiting Ecuador and Venezuela. Secondly, Roberto Lavagna, the main threat to either Kirchner or Fernández winning the elections, at last sealed his alliance with one faction of the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) and is now trying to unite dissident Peronists. Finally, Kirchner became embroiled in a power clash with the judiciary which, for once, stood its ground.

El Presidente Felipe Calderón dijo el 28 de marzo, que la rápida aprobación por ambas cámaras del congreso de la reforma del ISSSTE, el sistema de pensión estatal, fue "la más relevante reforma en los últimos 10 ańos". El recibió la votación final en el senado como un "triunfo para la política, la democracia y la economía." La dificultad es que incluso algunos partidarios de Calderón temen que las reformas fueron precipitadas y afianza aún más a los poderosos grupos de presión.

US intelligence chiefs see no major security threat from Latin America
Latin America poses no major threats to the national security of the US - at least according to the latest annual threat assessments presented to the US Congress by the director of national intelligence and the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Indeed the only clearly defined threats are the possibility that Colombia's Farc guerrillas may continue to target US interests and nationals, and that Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez will persist in his effort to 'neutralise' US influence in the region.
