Economy Ministry Notifies INTA of Court Order Freezing Overhaul for Six Months

The ruling blocks the recent availability of nearly 300 staff, with daily fines for noncompliance.

Overview

  • An internal note from HR director Marta Novoa informed INTA president Nicolás Bronzovich of the injunction against applying DNU 462/2025 and did not spell out next steps.
  • The court barred reassignments, transfers, layoffs, suspensions, availability moves and closures of existing structures for six months under articles 59–69.
  • Resolution 1240/2025 that had placed 286 INTA employees into disponibilidad cannot be executed while the injunction stands.
  • Noncompliance carries a 10 million peso daily penalty, as ratified and expanded by Judge Martina Isabel Forns.
  • Local units such as INTA Mendoza report operational paralysis linked to lost financial autonomy and scarce funds, including halted research, unpaid services and the loss of YPF route fuel.
