The Uruguay River Administrative Commission (CARU), which oversees the shared waterway between Argentina and Uruguay, is facing controversy due to allegations of corruption tied to the Argentine delegation. An internal document accessed by La Nacion highlights concerns regarding funding requests from representatives of the Milei government that were denied by Uruguayan officials. These issues have created repeated conflicts with the Uruguayan delegation, prompting a call for detailed analysis of the situation.

According to the internal report, the conflicts have necessitated intervention from the Uruguayan delegation to halt various initiatives proposed by the Argentine representatives. While the report suggests significant tensions, Uruguayan officials have attempted to downplay the situation, stating that there is no prevailing discontent within their delegation. They attribute the leak of the document to internal administrative conflicts within CARU, particularly involving a key figure, Raúl Lui, pointing to a strained relationship between the two countries.

The implications of these irregularities could be substantial, potentially affecting bilateral relations over the management of the river, which is vital for both countries. The case reflects broader challenges in international resource management and the need for transparency and accountability in binational commissions. As investigations progress, the tensions may either escalate diplomatic relations or lead to an urgent resolution to restore collaboration between Argentina and Uruguay.
