AROwnership & classification
Founded: 1987
Ownership
Página/12 was founded in 1987 by journalists Jorge Lanata and Ernesto Tiffenberg. Since 2016 it has been owned by Grupo Octubre, a multimedia group created and directed by businessman and trade-union leader Víctor Santa María. Grupo Octubre is administered through the Fundación Octubre, tied to SUTERH, the Buenos Aires building-workers' union that Santa María also heads; Santa María is additionally a senior figure in the Peronist Partido Justicialista in the City of Buenos Aires.
Funding
Financed by advertising, print and digital sales, and the resources of its owner Grupo Octubre/SUTERH; the paper has also been a notable recipient of official (Kirchnerist-era) government advertising, reflecting its alignment.
Affiliation & stance
Página/12 is firmly left/Kirchnerist-Peronist in stance. Because it is controlled by a union-linked group (SUTERH/Fundación Octubre) headed by a Peronist party official, its ownership is aligned with a party and union interest rather than purely commercial, which makes it DEPENDENT. The site's DEPENDENT/LEFT classification is accurate.

Agost Carreño turns the fight for Adorni into a republican exam for Córdoba
In a week marked by tension in the national Congress over the issue of Adorni, legislator Oscar Agost Carreño from the PRO party has shifted the discussion to Córdoba with a resolution proposal aimed at generating political noise in the provincial unicameral legislature. The initiative seeks to have the Córdoba Legislature instruct its three senators and urge its 18 national deputies to promote and support constitutional mechanisms of oversight against National Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni. This includes measures such as interrogation and potential motion of censure, tools outlined in Article 101 of the National Constitution but rarely used since the 1994 constitutional reform. Carreño aims to bring the matter to the floor this Wednesday through a request for immediate consideration. While he has limited maneuverability for approval, the proposal opens up political discussions within the Córdoba peronist faction and opposition blocs facing President Javier Milei's government.
"Indecentes e inmorales": furia en Venezuela por 4 policías descubiertos robando dólares de los edificios caídos
In the wake of two devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela, killing over 2,295 people and injuring more than 11,267, four police officers were arrested for stealing dollars found among the rubble of collapsed buildings. One officer was captured on video, which quickly went viral on social media, prompting Minister Diosdado Cabello to condemn the officers as 'impudic, indecent, and immoral' and promise they would be held accountable. The incident occurred in La Guaira, a region heavily affected by the earthquakes, where international rescue teams were working alongside local authorities.

Another video showed women taking the money from one of the officers and tearing it apart in front of him. Cabello emphasized that such actions during times of crisis would be met with severe punishment.
"Estos dos analfabetos económicos": Milei salió a responder las críticas de Pesce y Marcó del Pont, extitulares del Banco Central
Javier Milei, presidente de Argentina, respondió duramente a las críticas de Miguel Pesce y Mercedes Marcó del Pont, exdirectores del Banco Central argentino, quienes advirtieron sobre los riesgos de modificar la Carta Orgánica de la institución. Los exfuncionarios sostuvieron que la reforma impulsada por Milei refleja una presión del Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI), argumentando que la Carta Orgánica de 2012 fue una 'declaración de ignorancia' al asignar cinco objetivos a la política monetaria, lo que contribuyó a la aceleración de la inflación. Milei rechazó estas críticas, calificándolos como 'analfabetos económicos', y defendió que la reforma busca corregir esa situación al reducir el número de objetivos, afirmando que esto permitirá una mejor gestión de la economía.

Venezuela: search for more than 46,000 missing after earthquakes, with little hope

Official reports indicate 1,450 deaths, including six Argentine citizens, while a citizen platform tracks 46,629 people still missing and 15,136 previously reported missing who have been located. The Venezuelan government avoids using the term 'missing,' while the United Nations estimates over 50,000 people could be missing. The critical 72-hour window for rescuing survivors has passed, and experts say recovery efforts now focus on retrieving bodies.

The hardest-hit area was La Guaira, 40 kilometers from Caracas, where entire blocks of buildings were reduced to rubble. The UN estimates nearly seven million people affected and $6.7 billion in damages, equivalent to 6% of Venezuela's GDP. Rescue workers from 24 countries continue their efforts, though frustration grows among locals over the government's inadequate response.
