On 26 March 2026 the European Parliament endorsed the deal with the Council on the first directive harmonising the fight against corruption across the EU, by 581 votes to 21 with 42 abstentions. The text, provisionally agreed in December 2025, harmonises definitions and penalties for corruption offences and requires member states to establish or designate independent specialised anti-corruption bodies, which will then have 24 months to transpose it into national law.

On 26 March 2026 President Yamandú Orsi convened the Consejo de Ministros for the presentation of the Plan Nacional de Seguridad, then presented it to the press as a strategy of 79 actions and 130 measures. Presidencia recorded the same-day presentation. Interior minister Carlos Negro had spent 2025 on axes and Senate interpellation weather. He remains unresolved. Orsi did not sit as every precinct officer. 1 March 2025 oath is parent. 22 June 2026 army announcement is a child. Keep Orsi presents the Plan Nacional de Seguridad to the Consejo de Ministros on 2026-03-26 separate from neighbouring 24 November 2024 runoff, 1 March 2025 oath, 26 November 2025 Bukele remark, 26 March 2026 security plan, and 22 June 2026 army-patrol announcement. The president of Uruguay is head of state and head of government. He can present a national security plan, order army support to police, and send bills. He does not sit as a Corte Electoral teller, a Senate interpellant, or a Salvadoran prison director. Presidencia de la República Oriental del Uruguay carries the official instrument or communique. Ámbito records the same dated act independently. The path is Broad Front-return security: a completed national plan presented a year into the term. Established: The Plan Nacional de Seguridad was presented to the Consejo de Ministros and the press on 26 March 2026. Not established: A unique later homicide coefficient from that Thursday, or that every later army patrol is this same plan page. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Negro’s ministry drafted. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date.

This dossier refuses to average Orsi presents the Plan Nacional de Seguridad to the Consejo de Ministros into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He convened and presented. Negro’s ministry drafted.

Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Act receives royal assent

On 18 March 2026 the Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Act received royal assent, with the child element of Universal Credit payable for third and subsequent children from 6 April 2026. Reeves announced full removal from April 2026 in the November 2025 Budget. DWP introduced the Bill in January 2026. Starmer had previously removed the whip from MPs who voted to scrap the cap in 2024 on affordability grounds. That whip is a neighbouring polarisation row. The 2026 Act is the opposite distributional instrument. Families already on UC are to be updated automatically. The OBR scored a multi-billion annual cost and a large child-poverty reduction. The July 2024 whip and the November 2025 Budget announcement are different dates. Do not treat 2024 as if the 2026 Act already existed. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is First Lord of the Treasury and chairs Cabinet. He does not enact statutes alone. Parliament enacts; courts review; the Home Office, DWP, HMT, MoJ, DESNZ and NESO implement. After 20 July 2026 he is a backbench MP for Holborn and St Pancras, not the author of Andy Burnham’s instruments. Office-holding is not authorship of every later welfare series. Allegation is not a completed judgment. GOV.UK carries the official instrument or communique. BBC records the same dated act independently. The path is income inequality and child poverty: restoring the Universal Credit child element for third and subsequent children is a completed cash transfer expansion. Established: royal assent on 18 March 2026 for a statute removing the two-child limit in Universal Credit from 6 April 2026. Not established: that every child in poverty left poverty that day, or that the 2024 whip never occurred. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Reeves announced and funded it. DWP implements awards. Parliament enacted..

In March 2026, during the US-Israeli war, Iranian interior and security forces cracked down on protests. Pezeshkian’s government ran the civilian interior; the IRGC remained the Leader’s. CNN and others described him as overseeing a crackdown while his influence shrank. Neighbouring war start is 28 February. Neighbouring hijab 2024 is earlier non-repeal. 28 February war start is neighbouring. Mojtaba’s 8 March accession is neighbouring Leader change. The President of Iran is head of the executive, not commander-in-chief of the IRGC or the armed forces. That command sits with the Supreme Leader. Pezeshkian does not write IAEA Board resolutions, US Treasury designations, or Israeli cabinet strike orders. An IRGC operation is not automatically his Fact. Ministry of Interior of Iran carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently. The path is democratic resilience: a completed wartime protest crackdown is a civic-space cost on the interior the president appoints, even when the IRGC answers to the Leader. Established: March 2026 wartime protest crackdown, independently reported. Not established: that he commanded every IRGC unit, or a unique later detention coefficient as a personal tally. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.
