Buenos Aires property recovery operations
Overview
The Government of the City of Buenos Aires has conducted a series of operations to recover properties from illegal occupation. In late September, authorities recovered a hotel in the Constitución neighborhood that had been occupied for 21 years and was in a state described as “unfit for habitation” with significant tax debt. Mayor Jorge Macri stated that the administration intends to continue liberating usurped properties, linking such occupations to local crime, including human trafficking and drugs.
By late October, Mayor Macri announced that the city had recovered a total of 1,000 properties, including homes, hotels, and state-owned sites, with an estimated value exceeding $500 million. While the government maintains these actions are the restitution of usurped assets, some displaced residents have contested the characterization of the operations, claiming they were long-term tenants or owners being evicted under the pretext of building safety concerns.
