Hi fernandoricagno,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand you're unable to export photos on your Mac.
Having a seamless experience with exporting your photos is an important feature on your Mac. I'll be happy to help.
There are additional steps available to help troubleshoot this behavior. I recommend following the section in this article that says, "If you're having other issues with Photos": Get help with the Photos app on your Mac
Please let me know if that helps.
Kind regards.

Where are you exporting to? Are you exporting the photos to an external volume?
Are you saying, you cannot export any of the photos, if you are trying to export just one of them? Not even to a folder on your Desktop?
As a test,
Have you been running any application to clean your Mac and to free storage? Some of these apps are very aggressive and can damage your Photos Library badly, so Photos is not able to repair the damage.
Which versions of Catalina and Photos are you running?
What Mac model do you have?
Is your library a managed or referenced library?
Where is your library located? If on an external HD how is that drive formatted and connected to your Mac?
Do you have the iCloud Library enabled in the library? If so, do you also have "Optimize Mac Storage" enabled.
Catalina 10.15.4
Photos Version 5.0 (141.19.150)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
The Library is local in my MAC
I'm not using ICloud for photos
IT has the tic in Importing ( Managed Library )
