A recent survey by the Argentine consulting firm Zuban Córdoba , known for its professional seriousness and the adjustment of its electoral projections, including the victory of Javier Milei in 2023, revealed a resounding rejection of the possibility of installing a United States military base in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego .

The study, conducted this week following the presidential decree authorizing military activities at the Ushuaia Naval Base , Puerto Belgrano , and the Mar del Plata Naval Station , found that 71% of Argentines disagree with President Milei's decision to allow US participation in military exercises and its intervention in Argentine Antarctic development in the capital of Tierra del Fuego, in exchange for an economic agreement . In contrast, only 21% were in favor, with 7.5% abstaining.

Zuban Córdoba is a firm with over 20 years of experience , recognized in the fields of political communication and research. Its methodological rigor has earned it nominations as "Pollster of the Year" for its work on exit polls in presidential elections. With robust samples, such as this week's 1,500 surveys for the population over 16, the consulting firm closely monitors the social climate.

The numbers, according to the consulting firm itself, "speak for themselves" and demonstrate widespread social rejection of the measure, adding to concerns about issues such as the economy and government management, which the firm also monitors. The report confirms that the decision to allow U.S. armed forces to enter naval bases generates strong disapproval among national public opinion.
