  • 22 January – Germany rejects a claim that a request by Lufthansa Airlines to fly over Argentina en route to the Malvinas implies a recognition of them as Argentine territory.

  • 24 March – Argentina leaves the Lima Group, criticizing the participation of Juan Guaido.[6]

  • November 22 – Buenos Aires – A group of 9 hooded individuals hurled several bombs at the headquarters of Clarín Argentine newspaper on Monday night. The attack was filmed by surveillance cameras, which captured the moment when the group arrived on foot, at 11:05 PM, and hurled at least 7 Molotov cocktails – a type of homemade bomb in which a flammable liquid is placed inside a glass bottle – against the building of one of the country's main media outlets. The bombs damaged the building's façade and started a fire in the entrance, but no one was injured.[11]
