A year after taking office, the Government of President Javier Milei alleged that the prolongation of this emergency for the last 18 years prevented “the free exercise of productive and recreational activities on the lands involved”, besides limiting “the right to dispose of such property”.

The Executive pointed out that the Law of Indigenous Territorial Emergency, which suspended the execution of sentences ordering the eviction of their lands, generated “legal insecurity” and a “serious affectation to the right of property” of their owners, as well as to the provincial dominion over the natural resources.

The current administration emphasized that one of its main pillars is “unrestricted respect for private property”, understanding this right “not only as a principle of justice, but also as a key factor to attract the investments necessary for the true welfare of the country”.

In this change of state policy, the Government requested the Permanent Bicameral Commission of the Congress of the Nation to evaluate the corresponding opinion in order to “guarantee the full exercise of the constitutional right” and put an end to a situation “that endangers national sovereignty”.

“Given the unreasonable extension of the emergency measure and the different affectations that it produces, both to the right of property and to the dominion of the natural resources of the provinces and to the certainty of the right, it is deemed necessary to provide for its immediate termination”, the decree adds.
