The Community Property Law recognizes territorial autonomy to the Aboriginal peoples and communities of Argentina.” It has been asked to work on the Community Property Act that depends on the Senate and Deputies. There is concern because in the campaign season it is difficult to work on this proposal, but we are hopeful that they will work on it,” Diaz said as he retired from government headquarters, the NA agency reported.
The President, who approached Félix Díaz during the 2015 campaign at a time when Chief QOM was facing a confrontation with Kirchnerismo, met with the leader to advance the outstanding agenda issues of the original peoples. A long time ago, Diaz had criticized the president because “the promises were blown away by the wind.”
