On 19 November 2023, Javier Milei, the self-proclaimed 'anarcho-capitalist' and founder of the La Libertad Avanza party (LLA), won the presidential runoff with a campaign promising to radically reduce the Argentine state debt and reverse the country's persistent structural economic problems. Following his assumption of the presidency on 10 December 2023, Milei has implemented the most ambitious austerity and deregulation programme Argentina has seen this century. At the end of the first half of his term there have been impressive successes on the macroeconomic side (reducing inflation, consolidating the state budget and economic recovery). However, the measures have also had severe social implications. Almost two years after Milei's election victory, the midterm legislative elections taking place on 26 October 2025 are an important litmus test on the acceptance of his radical reform programme and his possible re-election in 2027. The question is whether Milei's LLA party can increase its seats in the bicameral Congress, where it will have to negotiate with the opposition on the implementation of further structural reforms. From the EU perspective, Argentina is particularly important as it is one of the four founding members of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) with which the EU is aiming to conclude the EU-Mercosur Partnership Agreement (EMPA). Moreover, Argentina holds vast reserves of critical raw materials which are key for the clean transition of the EU economy and for the EU's strategic autonomy. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

At more than one in five, the number of children at risk of poverty in the European Union (EU) remains high. This year's International Day for the Eradication of Poverty presents an opportunity to take stock of what the EU is doing to fight child poverty. Even though legal competence for child policy remains primarily with the Member States, the fight against child poverty is a major EU priority. The European strategy on the rights of the child now reflects the EU's increasing willingness to tackle child poverty, while the use of European funds is key to success.

The European Union (EU) has developed a complex architecture of information systems to support its policies on external borders, migration management and internal security. In response to recent migration and security challenges, the EU has sought to expand and upgrade its existing information systems on borders and security, and establish new systems and ensure their interconnection (interoperability). The underlying policy goal has been to 'close information gaps' on third-country nationals arriving or staying in the EU, to combat irregular migration and counter security threats more effectively. While the legislative work of updating and expanding EU-wide information systems for borders and security has been swift, the implementation of changes has been more challenging. Following the launch of the revised Schengen information system in March 2023, the new entry/exit system started operations on 12 October 2025. The European travel information and authorisation system (ETIAS) will follow at the end of 2026. This briefing provides an overview of EU-wide information systems for border management and security. It discusses recent developments and presents, where available, key figures on the operation of these systems. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
