  • Argentina approves Milei’s glacier mining bill amid environmental protests

Contesto

Argentina's Congress has approved a significant legislative change promoted by libertarian President Javier Milei. The bill authorizes mining operations within the country's ecologically sensitive glacier and permafrost regions. The amendment specifically modifies the existing 'glacier law,' a move that had already received Senate approval back in February. This legislative shift is designed to facilitate the extraction of valuable metals. The targeted resources include copper, lithium, and silver, all located within the frozen expanses of the Andes mountains. The decision prioritizes resource development in these fragile, high-altitude environments. The approval has sparked immediate outrage from environmental groups, who condemn the opening of protected glacial areas to industrial mining activity. The move sets the stage for continued conflict between economic policy and environmental conservation.
