The challenge for the new government: not only to unblock stalled projects, but also to prevent new investments from ending up the same way.

Data from the Peruvian Congress and the Comptroller's Office revealed that 2,241 public works projects were stalled, valued at more than 73 billion soles, with an additional review across ten regions identifying further delays. This situation presents a dual challenge for the incoming government: not only unfreezing currently paralyzed infrastructure projects, but also implementing safeguards to prevent future investments from suffering the same fate.

Meanwhile, in Uruguay, the government of Yamandú Orsi has reportedly cooled plans to advance reforms to the 2012 abortion law following a visit from León XIV. The proposed changes, which were among the administration's management goals, included extending the legal timeframe for the procedure from 12 to 14 weeks of pregnancy.
