Misiones Chamber approves declaration for Tancrevo Neves bridge

The Misiones Chamber of Representatives declared provincial interest in the citizen campaign #MenosFila, which requests faster and technologically modern migration and customs procedures at the Tancrevo Neves border point between Puerto Iguazú (Argentina) and Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil). The proposal, presented by a deputy and supported by parliamentarians from different blocs, received a unanimous vote from the provincial legislature on November 11, 2026.

The campaign, launched in June 2026 by local merchant Mario D’Arpino via Change.org, already gathers more than 5,800 signatures. The organizers' statement said the declaration was sent to the President of Argentina, the mayor of Puerto Iguazú, the President of the Deliberative Chamber, the Chamber of Commerce, the Tourism Hotels Association (AHT), and the Civil Association of Tourist Attractions of Iguazú (ACATI).

Supporters highlight that queues stretching for several kilometers and wait times of several hours, especially during peak periods, harm commerce, tourism, transportation, and other economic activities tied to movement between the two cities. While the approval of the declaration does not entail immediate changes, legislators hope that institutional backing and the number of signatories will spur concrete decisions by the competent national authorities.
