  • Bolivia’s Magistracy Council delivered registration documents for the Mutualista market’s properties to the Santa Cruz de la Sierra municipality.
  • The handover implements a Constitutional Court ruling issued on July 30, 2026, which maintained possession of the properties in favor of the municipal government.
  • Officials said the documents confirm registration but do not themselves determine ownership rights.

The Mutualista market’s registration documents are “not simple papers,” Santa Cruz de la Sierra Mayor Carlos Manuel Saavedra said as the municipality received them from Bolivia’s Magistracy Council.

The Council delivered the documents for registration of the market’s properties in the Real Rights Registry on Friday. The action followed a Constitutional Court ruling issued on July 30, 2026, and Constitutional Judgment 1052/2026, which ordered that possession of the properties remain with the municipal government.

Today, this registration in the Real Rights Registry for the Mutualista market is being delivered in compliance with a constitutional judgment issued by the Constitutional Court.

· Carlos SpencerThe president of the Magistracy Council described the legal basis for the document handover.

Council president Carlos Spencer said the measure aimed to provide citizens with legal certainty and security. He said the market had been granted by the municipal government under a usufruct arrangement, with authorities protecting the constitutional right established through a municipal law.

Spencer stressed that the Magistracy Council does not determine property ownership. Its offices and units carry out constitutional mandates, including those issued by Bolivia’s Plurinational Constitutional Court. Saavedra said the registration confirmed that the land and assets of the market would remain in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The case was still developing.

These are not simple papers.

· Carlos Manuel SaavedraThe mayor said the documents provide legal certainty that the market’s land and assets remain with the municipality.
