This work addresses the conflict of the United Neighbors for the Defense of a Safe Environment (VUDAS) against the permanence of the Porta Hnos company, a producer of bioethanol in Córdoba, Argentina. From the content analysis of ten indepth interviews, it emerges that one of the main devices of power that are deployed on this conflict is the political system, which works as a complex structure of power that controls and limits the struggle. Thus, we have aimed to investigate the way in which this structure is articulated and the strategies that are opposed to it. Finally, it is concluded that the articulation of the power mechanisms that produce the political process device configure states of exception that unfold over the subjects in struggle exposing them to the exercise of arbitrary power without guarantees and encircling their political struggle.
