A memorandum of understanding signed this Tuesday, July 14, between Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay seeks the creation of the so-called “South American Single Sky”; an initiative for the integration of the regional civil aviation market and greater accessibility of air services among the participating countries.

Transportation authorities from the signatory countries met to advance the “gradual liberalization of air transport in the region, respecting the legal and regulatory frameworks of each state.”

Among the objectives of this agreement, according to the Brazilian Ministry of Ports and Airports, is “expanding the range of flights, progressively reducing regulatory barriers, and facilitating airline access to the markets of participating countries, in order to improve regional connectivity and increase competition.”

The four South American countries will create a working group with a one-year deadline to establish proposals for the gradual implementation of the Single South American Sky project.

Paraguayan opposition senator Ignacio Iramain recently proposed regulation of the development of artificial intelligence, pointing out that there are risks in the advancement of technology without regulation.

According to Iramain, technology “is being controlled by a few global actors, which deepens power inequalities at the international level.”

The strategy proposed by the senator contemplates five key axes:

1. Regulation by risk levels: Refers to the classification of AI systems according to their potential impact.
2. Prohibition of indiscriminate biometric surveillance.
3. Citizen right to transparency: Citizens let people know when a decision was made with AI assistance and can challenge it before a human authority.
4. Public registry of AI systems: Create an accessible registry of artificial intelligence systems in use.
5. Protection of digital sovereignty: Strengthen the national capacity for control over the implemented technologies.

The members of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) are analyzing the possibility of Venezuela’s reincorporation into the trade bloc, taking into account the easing of sanctions against the country as well as changes in the political landscape.

In this regard, Brazil’s Vice President, Geraldo Alckmin, suggested that Venezuela’s suspension could be reviewed, “arguing that the nation is currently going through a different phase than in 2017, the year it was excluded from the organization.”

Furthermore, the group’s members are considering the restoration of relations between Venezuela, the IMF, and the World Bank.

In any case, “for Venezuela’s return to materialize, the block requires the absolute consensus of its founders. This implies a new technical evaluation of compliance with the political, customs, and human rights standards required by the organization.”

It is important to note that the analysis of Venezuela’s return to the trade bloc is taking place during a Mercosur restructuring. Furthermore, the measure has not only political implications, but also energy and commercial ones, since the return “would allow Caracas to normalize its export routes to the south and allow member countries to recover a partner with vast hydrocarbon reserves.”

Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization) announced on Friday, March 13, the results of a 72-country operation against cybercrime, which led to the arrest of 94 people, the seizure of equipment, and the suspension of websites.

Among the Spanish-speaking countries where the operation was carried out are Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Spain, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, and Venezuela, in addition to Spain.

The agency, headquartered in Lyon, France, stated that in addition to suspending some 45,000 servers and web addresses used for criminal activities, it is still investigating 110 individuals.

Operation Synergia III, as the Interpol operation is known, was conducted between July 18, 2025, and January 31, 2026, with actions in key locations through the coordinated efforts of national authorities investigating online cyber scams or phishing, malware, and ransomware.

Cases of identity theft and credit card fraud were also identified, as well as romance scams to obtain bank transfers; and fake online casinos, banking sites, or government websites used to steal money from users or obtain sensitive customer information.

Paraguay will evaluate future state-run bitcoin mining after launching a pilot program using equipment seized from illegal operators.

The South American country’s initiative puts BTC mining back into focus after “years of tension surrounding the activity. For a time, the country established itself as an attractive destination for miners thanks to cheap electricity and a favorable regulatory environment.”+However, with the massive influx of “illegal installations,” energy theft occurred, and public pressure on the authorities increased. Hence the state’s response to control clandestine operations.

Currently, efforts are underway to repurpose 1,500 of the 30,000 ASIC machines seized, with support from the technology company Morphware and the state-owned electric utility, the National Electricity Administration (ANDE). These entities have established a memorandum of understanding that sets out a framework for cooperation to analyze the plan’s feasibility.

The machines “will be located in facilities controlled by ANDE, specifically near electrical substations to take advantage of the existing infrastructure.”

Although experts indicate that the hardware is very old, the idea is to leverage the country’s energy surplus, known for its low cost and abundance, to power the equipment recovered from illegal operations.

Canada and Mercosur member States will resume negotiations on a free trade agreement in October, a Brazilian representative said last week.

The announcement comes as a light at the end of the tunnel for the parties amid the tariff offensive by US President Donald Trump.

Talks between Canada and Mercosur — made up of Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Argentina — are crucial for opening new trade opportunities in both regions.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil, the current president of Mercosur, stated in a statement that the resumption of trade negotiations “between Mercosur and Canada constitutes an unequivocal sign of our shared commitment to deepening mutually beneficial economic ties and opening up new and significant opportunities.”

Paraguay has become the first country in Latin America to sign a Safe Third Country agreement with the United States, meaning that Paraguayans currently on US soil will be able to apply for protection from their country of origin.

This was announced on Thursday, August 14, in a statement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who heads the State Department. He emphasized that this agreement generates benefits for both countries, such as “sharing the burden of managing illegal immigration” and “ending the abuse of the asylum system” in the United States.

Rubio thanked President Santiago Peña in the statement, emphasizing the importance of the efforts as a partner in deterring illegal immigration and protecting the borders.

The agreement is the first signed by President Donald Trump in his second term, during which he has toughened his immigration policy.

On Friday, June 27, the president of Paraguay, Santiago Peña, signed the decree corresponding to the 3.6 % increase in the country’s minimum wage.

“In this way, workers’ compensation is adjusted by 100,739 guaraníes, increasing the current monthly salary to 2,899,048 guaraníes (about US$366.9 at the current exchange rate) and leaving the minimum daily wage at 111,502 guaraníes,” local media reported.

Peña indicated that this increase is the result of a recommendation from the National Minimum Wage Council (CONASAM), “in accordance with the year-over-year variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), based on inflation data from the last 12 months.”

According to the presidential decree, the minimum wage increase goes into effect today, July 1. The president acknowledged that workers’ income “requires a more exhaustive analysis and an adjustment more in line with the daily cost of citizens’ quality of life.” He emphasized his desire to ensure that not a single citizen earns less than the minimum wage.

US tariffs on major powers and other countries around the world could allow nations like Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay to benefit by filling the gap in large supply chains, particularly in the agricultural market.

These Latin American nations could take advantage of the trade war to emerge as new agricultural suppliers. Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay “can benefit from the current tensions between economic powers by positioning themselves as alternative grain suppliers to the U.S. for major importers like China,” according to Máximo Torero, chief economist of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, in an interview with Bloomberg Television last Tuesday.

According to the official, the region is experiencing a two-pronged situation: while on the one hand, “prices for basic commodities like wheat, corn, and soybeans remain stable, retail food prices are high due to the inflationary impact of other input costs like energy and transportation.”
