When the government-imposed Covid-19 quarantine began in Buenos Aires City, Daniel Tenenbaum installed himself in his empty hotel to protect it from a possible squatter invasion. Other owners boarded up windows and doors too, fearing long closures. More than 15 months on, with Argentina’s borders still closed to tourists, the hoteliers are still suffering from the lack of guests.
Despite periods of relaxed restrictions since last October, the hotel owners of the nation’s capital do not perceive any major immediate changes in their new reality of empty rooms, darkened corridors and silent lobbies.

Dec. 30 (UPI) Argentina on Wednesday passed a law legalizing abortion and became the largest nation in Latin America to do so.
The Argentina Senate voted to pass the measure 38-29 in a reversal of a 2018 vote that blocked a wider-ranging abortion bill. The House had already passed the bill.
