💰🇦🇷🗳⚡️ — Javier Milei, a libertarian candidate who has advocated for the elimination of the central bank and spoken favorably of Bitcoin, was in the lead in primary presidential election in Argentina

"The central bank is a scam, a mechanism by which politicians cheat the good people with inflationary tax,” Milei has previously argued. Regarding Bitcoin, he said that it "represents the return of money to its original creator, the private sector.”

While having a favorable attitude towards the crypto, Milei has not advocated for Bitcoin’s use as legal tender within Argentina (similar to El Salvador). Instead, Milei has called for a “dollarization” of the economy, which currently is dealing with a triple-digit rate of inflation.

Elections will return in October with Javier Milei leading the presidential race among the participants.

🇺🇦❌🇵🇱— UKRAINE IS PLAYING WITH GERMANY AND THE US FOR A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT IN WARSAW

Since May this year, a number of incidents have occurred between Poland and Ukraine.

First off, the disproportionate reaction to the Polish FM's comments in a media program that called for the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to apologize to Poland for the Volhynia massacre, followed by the Ukrainian Institute for National Remembrance claiming Ukraine would not resume the exhumations of Polish victims of the Volhynia massacre until Poland restored monuments on Polish territory to the Ukrainian liberation army. Next was the Ukrainian grain embargo, in which the European Commission took Ukraine's side. Poland led the charge on behalf of other Eastern European countries when banning Ukrainian grain import bans. This eventually led to every European country bordering Ukraine to ban grain imports, which the European Commission would reluctantly allow.

Ukraine then accused Poland of trying to stop the transit of Ukrainian grain and falsely accused Poland of being in violation of the World Trade Organization's rules. And last week, the Ukrainian government summoned the Polish ambassador to Kiev after the comments made by Polish President Andrzej Duda's chief aide about Ukraine's lack of understanding for Poland's farmers and that Kiev should be more grateful for Polish help.

In the editorial written by Polish political scientist Dr. Przemysław Żurawski vel Grajewski, he reaches the conclusion that Ukraine wants to join NATO, and that the U.S. perspective will be the final decision maker. However, regarding EU membership, he believes that Germany will make the final call. Ukraine seems to think that defeating Russia is in Poland's national interests, Poland will support whatever Kiev will do, so a liberal Polish government backed by Washington and Berlin seems like the better option for them, and by cooling relations with the incumbent Polish govt., they seek that.

🇵🇱 Polish government plans referendum asking if voters want ‘thousands of illegal immigrants’

Poland’s ruling party wants to ask voters in a referendum whether they support accepting “thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa” as part of a European Union relocation plan, the prime minister said Sunday, as his conservative party seeks to hold onto power in an October parliamentary election.

Poland currently hosts more than a million Ukrainian refugees, who are primarily white and Christian, but officials have long made clear that they consider Muslims and others from different cultures to be a threat to the nation’s cultural identity and security.

EU interior ministers in June endorsed a plan to share out responsibility for migrants entering Europe without authorization, the root of one of the bloc’s longest-running political crises.

The Polish government wants to hold the referendum alongside the parliamentary election, scheduled for Oct. 15. Morawiecki said that the question would say: “Do you support the admission of thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa under the forced relocation mechanism imposed by the European bureaucracy?”

The video announcing the question includes scenes of burning cars and other street violence in Western Europe. A Black man licks a huge knife in apparent anticipation of committing a crime. Party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski then says: “Do you want this to happen in Poland as well? Do you want to cease being masters of your own country?

🚩🇧🇷💰🇺🇸 — Lula pleaded for the US to consider investing in Brazil instead of "just thinking about war."

During the presentation of the new Growth Acceleration Program (PAC), he mentioned that Biden invited him to a symposium on global labor.

"I'm going to tell Biden: 'Hey Biden, for many years the US has only been thinking about war and not about investing in Brazil. Spend some money investing in our country because that's what will bring peace to our country!'", he declared.

Members of the foreign relations sector stated that the statement was awkward and demonstrated Lula's subservience to the needs of the Biden administration.
