Milei orders a bar on foreigners who express hate toward Argentina
The emergency decree is already in force but must win parliamentary approval to remain law, according to experts cited by SCMP Economy.
Argentine President Javier Milei ordered a bar on foreigners who express “hate” toward the country or its people, saying Argentina is facing hostility that he believes is being orchestrated.
The measure applies to foreigners deemed to have spread or incited hate messages against Argentina or Argentines, and Milei framed it as a response to recent displays of hostility toward the republic.
The decree is in force immediately, but experts have cast doubt on its legal feasibility because it requires parliamentary approval to remain law.
Milei’s move follows his earlier claim that leftist administrations elsewhere in the Americas are running an “anti-Argentine campaign,” with the statement appearing to reference public reactions to Argentina’s recent World Cup final loss to Spain.
