In a decisive move to uphold the rule of law and protect public resources, President Javier Milei’s administration has closed an unauthorized museum dedicated to Ernesto “Che” Guevara. The museum, operated by the Asociación Trabajadores del Estado (ATE) since 2008, was located in “La Pastera,” a building within Argentina’s Lanín National Park.

The Administration of National Parks (APN) officially revoked the agreement that allowed ATE to manage the facility, citing misuse of public property and deviation from its intended cultural purpose. Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni stated that the museum’s operation was an “illegal and immoral” use of state assets, emphasizing that it glorified a figure associated with violence and authoritarianism

The museum, funded by public resources, featured multimedia exhibits portraying Guevara’s life and revolutionary activities. Government officials argued that such use of taxpayer money to honor a controversial figure was inappropriate and misaligned with national values.

This action aligns with President Milei’s broader initiative to depoliticize state institutions and eliminate the misuse of public funds. The administration has also dissolved other state-funded entities deemed unnecessary, reinforcing its commitment to fiscal responsibility and the proper use of government resources.
