Misiones governor seeks to block foreign land sales under Milei decree

Governor Hugo Passalacqua of Misiones, a province with 90% of its border with other countries, announced a legal challenge to Article 154 of DNU 70/2023, which permits unrestricted land sales to foreigners. This follows a Supreme Court ruling and clarification by three magistrates, indicating a provincial-federal dispute over land ownership policy. The outcome could set precedent for other border provinces and affect foreign investment in Argentine land.
