Gustavo Melella veta ley que frenaba reforma constitucional en Tierra del Fuego

El gobernador Gustavo Melella firmó un decreto para vetar la ley que buscaba frenar la reforma constitucional provincial. Insiste en convocar a elecciones de convencionales el 9 de agosto pese al rechazo de la Legislatura.

La Legislatura de Tierra del Fuego había derogado la ley 1529 por 11 votos a 4 semanas atrás. Esa norma, aprobada en diciembre de 2023, impulsaba cambios en 70 artículos de la Constitución provincial.

Melella había convocado a los comicios convencionales un día antes de esa votación. El viernes oficializó el veto mediante decreto y argumentó que el proceso ya estaba en marcha con mayoría agravada.

El ministro Jorge Canals señaló que la decisión legislativa es inconstitucional porque altera un proceso vinculado a derechos constitucionales. El veto regresará a la Legislatura, donde se necesitan 10 votos para rechazarlo.

La oposición, encabezada por el intendente Walter Vuoto, criticó la medida y acusó al gobernador de ignorar el mensaje de la sociedad y el parlamento en un contexto económico complejo.
