Summary

Javier Milei’s plan to privatize the Paraguay-Paraná waterway, an important shipping route for Argentina and its neighbors, has raised concerns among local communities about environmental damage and the destruction of their way of life.

The privatization, which aims to boost international trade and reduce logistics costs, has also been criticized for potentially benefiting multinational businesses at the expense of the local population.

Despite previous privatization in the 1990s, the decision has sparked protests and raised questions about its impact on the environment and the fight against drug trafficking.
