translated from Spanish: Macri welcomed the historic QOM leader and listened to his claims

President Mauricio Macri received today in Casa Rosada the leader of the QoM Aboriginal community, Felix Diaz and echoed one of the main claims: the treatment of the Property Comunitaria.La initiative law is delayed due to the little activity that held Congress during 2019 as it was an election year, and Macri pledged that the official blocs of both chambers will move forward with their treatment when parliament meets again.

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.”
