A lawsuit has been filed in Tierra del Fuego against the Agencia Nacional de Puertos y Navegación (ANPYN) concerning the intervention of the Port of Ushuaia. Representing affected workers, lawyer Manuel Raimbault claims the agency’s actions constitute a “privatización por la fuerza” (privatization by force) of the maritime terminal.

The legal action seeks a judicial review of ANPYN’s decisions, with plaintiffs arguing that the national takeover has displaced local authority and facilitates the transfer of resources to private interests. Workers have reported staff reductions, arbitrary changes to labor conditions, and new protocols since the national agency assumed control of the strategic hub.
