Judge Halts Construction of Buenos Aires’ New Civic Centre�|�The Argentina Independent

Judge Halts Construction of Buenos Aires’ New Civic Centre�|�The Argentina Independent: City judge Patricia L�pez Vergara has ordered to suspend the construction of the capital’s new civic centre in Barracas. Her grounds were threefold: the land’s status as a historical monument, the possible presence of unexplored urban archaeology sites, and a lack of any environmental impact studies.

The projects, slated to eventually house the many of city’s executive offices, border the grounds of the J.T. Borda Mental Hospital, a neuropsychiatry facility. Unionists originally made claims via the public defender to stop construction. “[Mayor Mauricio Macri and his officials] lacked the competence to deliver the acts they issued, published, and executed, without the previous intervention of different organisations and areas that are in charge of applying protection norms.”
