National Senator Cristina López, from Tierra del Fuego, presented a forceful request for information in the Senate, demanding that the Executive Branch clarify the circumstances surrounding the recent combined military exercises with United States forces in Ushuaia. The exercises, held on August 12, generated alarm and strong criticism from the Tierra del Fuego legislator.

López, in statements to the newspaper El Sureño , expressed his deep concern and described the situation as a "surrender of sovereignty" by Javier Milei's government. "It is unacceptable that the forces of Great Britain's main ally set foot on our Tierra del Fuego soil," he emphasized, adding that "it is urgent to put a stop to this policy."

The questions raised

The senator's request focuses on the lack of transparency and the need for the Argentine people to understand the scope of the foreign military presence. The document asks the government to detail, among other points:

Cristina López insisted that her goal is not to oppose international cooperation, but rather to ensure that it is carried out in compliance with the Constitution and Argentine sovereignty. She also reiterated her criticism of the possible transformation of the Ushuaia Naval Base into a "foreign military platform," rather than an Antarctic research and development center.
