Gustavo Melella removes Carlos Cantú from Fisheries Council

Governor Gustavo Melella has removed Carlos Cantú from his position representing Tierra del Fuego at the Federal Fisheries Council (Consejo Federal Pesquero). While the provincial government has not provided an official explanation for the decision, reports suggest the move followed pressure from the private sector.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that at least two fishing companies expressed dissatisfaction with Cantú due to his voting record and specific positions held within the Council. The Council is a critical body that regulates fishing permits, quotas, and vessel incorporation, making the provincial representative's role highly influential for local economic interests. Cantú is noted for his significant experience and long-standing tenure within the organization.
