A delegation of Argentine senators from the Union for the Homeland traveled to the province of Tierra del Fuego to address local grievances and oppose the austerity measures of President Javier Milei.

During the tour of Ushuaia, Tolhuin, and Río Grande, the senators inspected infrastructure such as the Ushuaia port and the Integrated Naval Base, met with local officials, and listened to residents regarding gas supply cuts. The visit also included a stop at the worker-run Aires del Sur steel plant.

Local leaders, including the Mayor of Ushuaia, utilized the visit to criticize national government projects that they claim threaten sovereignty regarding the Malvinas Islands, the South Atlantic, and Antarctica. The delegation framed the tour as a demonstration of political unity and a defense of regional interests against federal policies that have impacted municipal funding and local industry.
