The Government argued that the suspension of evictions made productive and recreational activities difficult, in addition to fomenting territorial conflicts.
The National Executive Branch made official the repeal of Decree No. 805/2021 that extended the emergency regarding possession and ownership of lands occupied by indigenous communities in the country, in force since 2006.
According to the foundations set forth in decree 1083/2024, signed by President Javier Milei and his ministers, it indicates that the extension of this emergency for 18 years generated “legal uncertainty” and a “serious impact on the property rights” of legitimate ownersas well as the provincial domain over natural resources.
The Government argued that the suspension of evictions made productive and recreational activities difficult, in addition to fomenting territorial conflicts.
The measure is part of the objective of guaranteeing private property as the “main pillar” to attract investments and promote the development of the country. It also seeks to “urgently” resolve the conflicts that have affected displaced landowners for almost two decades and ensure national sovereignty.
The decree establishes the immediate end of the emergency and the suspension of evictions provided by Law 26,160 and its extensions and requests the Permanent Bicameral Commission of the National Congress to evaluate the corresponding ruling.
The resolution marks a shift in state policy regarding indigenous communities, generating expectations about the impact on productive sectors and existing social conflict.
