Argentina's Misiones Governor Hugo Passalacqua to Sue Over National Land Law and Decree

On October 3, 2026, Hugo Passalacqua, governor of Misiones, Argentina, announced he will take legal action to block the national land law in his province. This follows the Supreme Court's revocation of a ruling that had declared Article 154 of DNU 70/2023 unconstitutional, due to lack of legal standing. Passalacqua argues the law and decree leave Misiones unprotected and harm its autonomy and finances. He instructed the Fiscal de Estado to initiate judicial actions, continuing the legal dispute over land control between the province and the national government.
