The Municipality of General Pueyrredon published in its official bulletin a decree authorizing the destruction of files listed in an annex. This is an administrative measure that usually sparks requests for details on what documentation is being destroyed and under what safeguards. According to the Argentine News Agency, the decision was formalized through Decree No. 0222/26, which states: “The destruction of the files detailed in Annex I is authorized.” The published text specifically refers to Annex I, which enumerates the files covered by the measure. This has become the core of the debate, as it defines the universe of documentation that will no longer be available in a physical format. In terms of public control, these types of provisions are typically monitored for two reasons: traceability (what is being destroyed, why, and when) and safeguarding (whether a digital copy exists and how the preservation of relevant information is guaranteed). The municipality published the measure in its bulletin, but the real impact lies in the details: the areas involved, the age of the files, and whether there are any linked administrative or judicial cases that require preservation. In Mar del Plata, where public discussions often become tense due to purchases, works, and contracts, the publication of a file destruction measure tends to amplify the demand for maximum documentary precision and verifiable criteria.
