Court Upholds 60-Day Eviction of Occupied Kirchner-Linked Hotel After Death Reported

Local officials say they lack space to relocate the roughly 130 residents.

Overview

  • The eviction of La Aldea in El Chaltén was ordered by Judge Carlos Albarracín and confirmed on appeal by Judge Nelson Sánchez, requiring removal within 60 days.
  • The deadline falls in the first half of November, with police enforcement authorized but a voluntary exit prioritized.
  • A man was recently found dead inside the occupied building, with initial inquiries pointing to suicide and highlighting safety concerns cited by the court.
  • Judicial and municipal teams plan a hearing with the administrator and occupants, and the judge may extend deadlines only if a voluntary agreement advances.
  • Owned by Los Sauces S.A., the shuttered hotel has been closed since 2016, valued at about 108.4 million pesos, and is tied to the Hoteles K/Vialidad probes with trials set for next year.
