The national government moved forward with a key reform in the area of private property: the bill that is already being debated in the Senate puts an end to the suspension of evictions and re-establishes the possibility of legally recovering occupied land throughout the country, in a move that aims to order a situation that for years was out of control.
The initiative involves a fundamental change from the current scheme in villages and settlements, where there was a generalized brake on evictions. With the new law, both the State and the owners could once again go to justice to claim their land, reactivating a mechanism that had been practically neutralized and that prevented the legal resolution of conflicts.
The initiative, which has already begun to be discussed in the Senate, introduces a central change: the end of the generalized suspension of evictions in villages and settlements. This means that both the State and private owners will be able to go back to justice to recover their land, something that for years was virtually blocked by current regulations.
One of the axes of the project is the repeal of the declaration of public utility of occupied land, a mechanism that enabled mass expropriations. This change seeks to fully restore the rights of formal owners, who in many cases have been unable to dispose of their land for years
