Argentine Judiciary Blocks Presidential Decree on Land Ownership
What happened
The judiciary in Argentina blocked a decree issued by President Javier Milei. In the Lower House, the ruling party, La Libertad Avanza, approved the Private Property Inviolability Law. This law, passed with 124 votes in favor, omits the proposal to eliminate the Land Law, which sets restrictions on foreign land purchases in Argentina.
Why it matters
The ruling highlights the institutional power of the Supreme Court in limiting executive action within Argentina. The legislative approval of the property reform maintains regulatory limits on foreign property ownership, despite the President's attempt to overturn the 2011 Land Law.
