Argentinien: Javier Milei beschimpft alle – und zeigt sich selbst dünnhäutig

Javier Milei, the President of Argentina, has been verbally abusing his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva with harsh terms like "misfit" and "thief". Brazil's President claims that Brazil spreads "dirty socialism" throughout Latin America. On top of that, Milei called out Brazilian Constitutional Judge Alexandre de Moraes as a "bald-headed offal" at a campaign event in São Paulo.

It seems quite absurd that the non-presidential Argentine President has just issued a decree allowing authorities to deny entry to foreigners spreading "hate speech", discriminating against, or offending the Argentine people, or offending national symbols. This decree applies to foreigners who disseminate messages of hate, discrimination, or violence against the Argentine people, or those who insult national symbols, according to the decree.

The Presidential Office justified this action as a reaction to recent hostile statements against Argentina. Milei seems to be discovering nationalism, reacting to Argentina's tarnished reputation following the World Cup and his declining popularity. The Argentine government has long criticized an international "anti-Argentina campaign" allegedly organized by leftists worldwide.
