Argentina's President Fernandez announces he will not run for re-election.
Argentina's President Alberto Fernandez has announced that he will not seek re-election in the upcoming October polls, citing a desire to focus on solving the country's economic problems. The ruling Peronist coalition is facing internal disputes and a deepening economic crisis, with inflation running at over 100%. Fernandez's decision comes as his approval ratings have plummeted, with only 10% of Argentinians having a positive image of him, according to a recent poll.
