The government awarded the Hydrovia to Jan de Nul, in the biggest privatization of the Milei era

The Argentine government has awarded the Hidrovía project to the private company Jan de Nul, marking what is described as the largest privatization under President Javier Milei's administration. The decision highlights the government's shift toward privatizing state infrastructure projects, a key part of Milei's economic reform agenda. The Hidrovía, a major waterway connecting the Paraná River to the Atlantic Ocean, was previously managed by the state. This move has sparked debate over the implications for public services and economic control. Critics argue that such privatizations could lead to reduced access and increased costs for essential services.
