They denounce that the government of Santa Cruz legalized Chinese fishing companies that are plundering the South Atlantic

This is what the Santa Cruz information website, OPI Santacruz, claims in a note published this Sunday, which warns in the form of a complaint that Governor Claudio Vidal “signed an agreement that legalizes Chinese pirates who plunder the Argentine Sea and who seek to solve the logistics problems” in the South Atlantic that they are currently carrying out in Uruguay.

The investment also includes improvements to five provincial ports, construction of shipyards and new fishing plants.

The media cites as a source “information provided by the government of Santa Cruz” , which summarizes the results of the recent “trip to China by Governor Claudio Vidal, the Minister of Production and the Intervenor of YCRT”. In it, he states that Vidal "signed an agreement with the Chinese company Hongdong Fisheries Co, Ltd. for the modernization of the port infrastructure and the construction of a fishing plant in the province, in order to provide logistics services to the Chinese fishing fleet in Mile 201, the same one that has been plundering the Argentine sea for years."

The agreement was signed in the city of Fuzhou, capital of Fujian province, China. The investment also includes improvements to five provincial ports, construction of shipyards and new fishing plants.

The media interprets that the agreement “would allow the Chinese fleet operating in mile 201 (international waters) to supply itself in Santa Cruz.” Although it clarifies that this issue is not new in that Province, because “the authorization of ports for the foreign fleet and the logistics services project” for that fleet, was already on the agenda since 2020, during the government of Alicia Kirchner.
