The Río Negro Legislature asked the national government, the Ministry of Defense and the Argentine Army to property is recognized of the first settlers and descendants in Colonia Suiza.
Call was also requested to a dialogue table to find a solution to the conflict that arose last year, when the Federal Court of Appeals of Roca ordered the eviction of the descendants of Eduardo Goye, by giving rise to a lawsuit by the Argentine Army that claims the land as its own.
The communication was approved by the provincial legislators and makes an exhaustive historical journey.
«The settlers, specifically Eduardo Goye and his partner Elisa Cretton, settled in pastoral lot 86, approximately in 1900. They were ceded to them through the ‘home law’, sanctioned in 1844, by which the national government donated land in order to promote the maximization of yields in agriculture«, specifies the initiative of legislators Pablo Barreno, María Eugenia Martini, Daniela Salzotto and Ignacio Casamiquela.
From that moment, he points out, they exercised possession of the land “in a public and peaceful manner, inhabiting and practicing agriculture in a determined wayan activity that was replicated by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The property is located on one of the slopes of Cerro Goye, «place that bears that name due to the historical permanence of this family in the place«.
The statement also recalls that Eduardo Goye initiated the steps to gain access to land ownership regularization in 1907although “the distance to carry out the procedures, the hostility of the climate and the difficulty with the language prevented progress.”
The legislators emphasize that the arrival of these settlers in the western area of Bariloche «it was given before the official creation of the city«. In this sense, they cite the book “Las colonizaciones del Nahuel Huapi” by Cristian Müller. This surveyor publishes the measurements filed in the Río Negro Cadastre Management that reveal that Camilo and Félix Goye occupied properties in Colonia Suiza since the beginning of the 20th century.
In 2005, the Argentine Army claimed ownership of those lands. The judicial ruling handed down by the Bariloche Court of Appeals does not recognize the right of the descendants of the Goye family to claim the usucapion of the lands, because they are in “border security zone”.
Müller ratifies that both Félix and Camilo Goye appear as former settlers in the close-ups of the Colonia Pastoril del Nahuel Huapi in 1900. These records correspond to the official survey documents of the Cadastre.
The surveyor also stressed that the border security decree was approved on October 17, 1935, more than 30 years following Félix and Camilo Goye settled in the area. “It is an acquired right because they already occupied those lands and worked them. The State did not complete the tasks of demarcating the lands but there are documents that show that they are concessionaire settlers”, he states.
