Public order: end of unpunished road blockades

It empowers the Federal Police and Security Forces to intervene and clear blockades of traffic routes (streets, highways, avenues), treating the blockade as conduct under art. 194 of the Criminal Code. The intervention can reach provincial/CABA territory under the Internal Security Law 24.059. The rule was challenged by the CELS: in the first instance judge Martín Cormick declared it void (at the end of December 2025, for the Executive exceeding its powers), but the Federal Administrative Litigation Chamber revoked that nullity at the end of March 2026 and restored its validity, holding that it is an internal directive for the federal forces and not a regulation of the right to protest. As of the consultation date it is in force; the challengers announced an appeal to the Supreme Court.
