Argentine President Javier Milei on Thursday imposed a bar on foreigners who express “hate” toward the Latin American country, which he claims is the target of a sinister campaign.
Experts have cast doubt on the legal feasibility of the emergency decree, which is already in force but requires parliamentary approval to remain law.
The measure bars or expels foreigners deemed to have “spread or incited hate messages” against the country or its people.
In a statement, Milei said the measure was in response to “recent displays of hostility against the Argentine republic and Argentines.”
