Three days celebrating the Revolution (at the table)
If there's one place that needs no introduction, it's Aires Estoril – a restaurant that brings together the best of Argentine cuisine and Portuguese regional specialities in a refined yet welcoming setting. This May, for three days only, the restaurant transforms for the Argentinian Week, celebrating the 215th anniversary of the May Revolution – the movement that kickstarted the country's independence. Expect an atmosphere charged with the rhythm of tango and traditional folk performances by guest artists, plus a special Champagne selection, with the elegant Piattelli Méthode Champenoise. As always, food takes the spotlight. Chef Marianella Ramadan has crafted an exclusive menu featuring premium Argentine cuts and contemporary takes on traditional dishes from the Andes, Patagonia and the Pampas. And to match the dishes? Wines that rise to the occasion (sometimes literally). From the bold reds of Salta and the cool-climate gems of Patagonia to the structured classics of Mendoza, the wine list boasts top-tier labels from some of Argentina's most prestigious wineries – made for toasting every bite. Don't want to miss it? Book your table via the Aires Estoril website or by calling +351 934 453 242. And if you don't manage to grab a seat for the celebration, no worries – the restaurant is open for dinner from Wednesday to Sunday, and for lunch on weekends.

Argentina reeling from poverty, pensioner hardship, says archbishop in sermon
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -The Archbishop of Buenos Aires used his pulpit on Sunday to voice criticism of Argentine President Javier Milei's policies addressing poverty and support for pensioners. At the Te Deum religious ceremony for the anniversary of the May Revolution of 1810, where Milei, a libertarian, and his cabinet were present, Archbishop Jorge Garcia Cuerva told the congregation that in Argentina "fraternity, tolerance, and respect are dying." "Our country is bleeding. So many brothers and sisters suffer marginalization and exclusion," said Garcia Cuerva, who heads the archdiocese of Buenos Aires, the former home base of Pope Francis. He called for support for the poor, young people who are victims of drug trafficking and pensioners. "Retirees deserve a dignified life with access to medicine and food, a wound that has remained open and bleeding for years, but as a society we must heal it soon," Garcia Cuerva said. Milei has implemented sweeping public spending cuts since taking office at the end of 2023 in a bid to control the country's years-long economic crisis. Pensioners, who have been badly hit by the cuts, protest in the streets every Wednesday and often face police repression. Garcia Cuerva also referred to the "constant aggression" on social media and called for a "stop to hate." "We have crossed all boundaries. Disqualification, constant aggression, mistreatment, and defamation seem to be commonplace," the archbishop said. During Garcia Cuerva's comments, Milei was seen listening with a stern expression. Milei's government frequently uses social media to refer to politicians, economists and journalists who question its policies as "baboons," "degenerates," "underachievers," and "mongoloids."
