In Roque Pérez, Buenos Aires Province, the 15th Meeting of Fumigated Peoples took place, a key event for sharing knowledge and experiences. The main goal was to strengthen the path towards agroecology and articulate struggles against the agro-industrial model. Central themes included the preservation of the Glacier Law and clean water, opposition to all forms of extractivism in territories, and solidarity with Mendoza's fight against mega-mining. It was decided that the next meeting in 2026 will be held in Sierra de la Ventana. Key resolutions were made: to mobilize on December 18th at Plaza de Mayo against the labor reform; to oppose changes to the Glacier Law and the 'Poison Law'; to show solidarity with the peasant struggle in Paraguay by promoting an international petition; to hold a combined street action to denounce agro-industry businesses; to organize the 2nd People's Agroecology Congress in La Plata; to continue mapping public schools sprayed with agrochemicals; and to demand the state recognize work-related illnesses for teachers caused by the agro-industry. A cross-cutting point was the shared view that the agro-industry is a state policy, regardless of the governing party. The event concluded with a march through the host city with the chant: 'Sir, Madam, do not be indifferent, when they spray us, they poison the people'.
