ARGENTINA: Political polarisation grows
A federal judge ordered the arrest of Hebe de Bonafini, the leader of the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, on 4 August after she failed to testify in a case of alleged fraud. One of the most ardent supporters of former president Cristina Fernández (2007-2015), De Bonafini, 87, condemned the government led by President Mauricio Macri for “pursuing the people” and “making a disaster of the country, reversing all the gains made [under 12 years of Kirchnerista governments]”.
