Ushuaia, Argentina joined Commune of Lechmann (Santa Fe), Azul (Buenos Aires) and Capilla del Monte (Córdoba), have resolved not to enable the installation of 5G antennas until they have precise information that the radiation will not impact the health of the community. In 2029, the City of Gualeguaychu Entre Ríos Argentina also passed a municipal ordinance in which article 17 prohibited the installation of 5G structures. However the the 5G article was later repealed ad community members are starting protest actions.
Information from Ushuaia prohibits the installation of 5G antennas in the city; joins three other national municipalities (translated from Spanish)
The city of Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego promulgated ordinance 6317, sanctioned by the Deliberative Council on December 6, which establishes the city as a “zone free of radiation from the communications technology of fifth generation (5G) and all data transmission technology of subsequent generations.”
Art. 1.-DECLARE the City of Ushuaia a zone free of radiation from fifth generation communications technology (5G) and all data transmission technology of subsequent generations.
Art. 2.-PROHIBIT the installation of fifth generation technology (5G) and all data transmission technology of subsequent generations, until medical-scientific and epidemiological studies are presented that demonstrate the total harmlessness of these radiations.
Art. 3.-The studies that are presented in the future, to repeal this ordinance, must follow the non-opposing recommendations of the World Organization (WHO), the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE). -EMF) and the Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA) of the European Parliament.
Art. 4.-The Municipality of Ushuaia will not issue any type of work, installation or similar authorization for the deployment of technology (5G) and any data transmission technology of subsequent generations, until the requirements of article 2 are reliably met. compliments.Art. 5.-Establish as the guiding principle of this ordinance, the precautionary principle in matters of health and the environment.
Municipal ordinance on 5G of Ushuaia, province of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
The initiative was promoted by members of the group Organized Citizens to Regulate Telecommunications (CORTE), which has representatives in Tierra del Fuego. The rule prohibits 5G “until medical, scientific and epidemiological studies are presented that demonstrate the total harmlessness of these radiations.”
The Corte association documented during the legislative debate that several municipal states in the world sanctioned similar ordinances, and that in Argentina there are similar regulations “in the Commune of Lechmann (Santa Fe), Gualeguaychú (Entre Ríos), Azul (Buenos Aires) and Capilla del Monte (Córdoba) ”. In the case of Gualeguaychú, the rule was reversed a week ago , and the municipality will be able to incorporate 5G antennas.
“It’s not that we want to prohibit progress. There are many people who do not understand that this technology was not tested and that it has already caused problems in some places,” said Alejandra Guerrero, member of Corte in Tierra del Fuego. The leader announced that a similar project was presented to the Deliberative Council of the city of Río Grande, in the north of the province, and is “under analysis.”

“Officials are supporting safe technology in communities worldwide. People deserve safety assurances, especially such an ubiquitous environmental exposure,” stated Theodora Scarato Executive Director of Environmental Health Trust. Scarato pointed to the 15 recommendations of the New Hampshire Commission Report on 5G Health and Environment and highlighted the urgent need to update safety standards of the FCC, IEEE, and ICNIRP which do not protect for long term health impacts.
She also highlighted a study by U.S. Army and Air Force Research Laboratories which found that high powered pulsed microwave exposures could reach the same threshold pressures of explosive blast brain and football head impact injuries even at levels considered “safe” and compliant with current FCC RF limits.
