Disputas por la legitimidad en el proceso de privatización de espacios públicos en Corrientes, Argentina.

However, in 2017, a transformation process revealed specific characteristics: the intensification of spatial privatization and the promotion of exclusive urban spaces faced the rise of collective opposition, which, in turn, led to conflicts between the local government and the actors involved in this opposition. This article explores the violent practices and mechanisms used for the approval and implementation of the ‘Coastal Urban Plan’. The qualitative approach included active participation in self-convened assemblies and state activities as well as the analysis of regulatory documents and journalistic sources. The results reveal the existence of violent mechanisms employed to not only reinforce the unquestionability of urban policy but also silence the dissent. These implied the delegitimization of opposing or affected voices; the reinforcement of authority among a selected few; the masking of technical aspects of the proposal; and the invalidation of conflict. En la ciudad de Corrientes, Argentina, el área central de cara al río Paraná ha sido objeto recurrente de intervenciones urbanas; sin embargo, en 2017 comenzó un proceso de transformación que evidenció características específicas: a la intensificación de la privatización del espacio y promoción de una espacialidad exclusiva, se enfrentaron acciones colectivas en oposición, que derivaron en conflictos entre el gobierno local y estos actores. El objetivo del artículo consiste en explorar, en ese marco, las prácticas violentas usadas como recurso por el gobierno municipal para la aprobación e implementación de lo que se denominó Plan Urbano Costero. El abordaje cualitativo consistió en la participación activa en espacios asamblearios autoconvocados y actividades estatales, análisis de documentos normativos e información periodística. Los resultados indican un conjunto progresivo y cohesionado de mecanismos violentos para blindar la incuestionabilidad de la política urbana y desarmar a los cuestionadores: deslegitimación de voces opositoras o afectadas y afianzamiento de pocas voces autorizadas; enmascaramiento de aspectos técnicos de la propuesta; anulación del conflicto.
