Ushuaia national land use and auction dispute

Overview

The Ushuaia City Council began debating modifications to the zoning of national government lands within urban limits, including areas near Bahía Golondrina. During these discussions, Councilwoman Marjorette Saldías warned that new restrictions could impede development for housing and infrastructure, though she noted the proceedings focused on urban planning rather than property titles.

Following these debates, the Argentine national government under Javier Milei issued Decree 764/26, authorizing the auction of 38 hectares of strategic land in central Ushuaia. This land, previously held by the Argentine Navy, was intended for a recreational park under a 2016 ordinance. Legislator Pino denounced the move as a unilateral decision made without consulting the Municipality of Ushuaia or the Tierra del Fuego government. The decree also includes the auction of a site in Bahía Golondrina known as ‘Los Coreanos’, leading to criticism that the national government is bypassing municipal land-use regulations.

Political opposition has intensified following the decree. Senator Cristina López has introduced four legislative initiatives to halt the sale, including a proposal to repeal the decree and a request to summon Chief of Staff Diego Santilli and the head of the State Asset Administration Agency (AABE) to the Senate for questioning. López has characterized the auction as a “real estate business” conducted without local consultation. Critics argue the auction undervalues the property and threatens local environmental and urban planning goals, particularly as the land is located in a prime urban area equipped with essential gas, water, and sewage services. Legislators Cristina López and Juan Carlos Pino continue to challenge the validity of Decree 764/2026, maintaining that the sale of the strategic naval land lacks local authority consultation.
