Tensions have escalated between Argentina and Uruguay at the Administrative Commission of the Uruguay River (CARU), primarily concerning a proposal to finance the repaving of National Route 136. The Argentine delegation sought CARU's agreement to allocate US$15 million for the project, which Uruguay rejected, citing a legal opinion that CARU lacks authority for such investments.
Following this, Argentina did not attend a ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the General Artigas International Bridge, seen as a diplomatic snub. Allegations of administrative irregularities involving Argentina's CARU delegation have surfaced, including requests for representation expenses. The broader context includes a proposed green hydrogen facility near Paysandú, facing opposition and potential environmental concerns.
