Average self-proclaimed libertarian
Well, you guys voted for fascism. Now you’ve got it.
“but he claimed to be Anarcho and anti-government”…
Turns out he was only opposed to good government!
Exactly. Argentina has had an issue with right wing, backwards ass idiots for a long time. They’re getting what they wanted
Is funny to claim people are “backwards idiots” when it’s literally the first time in history this political spectrum (anarcho-capitalist) has been elected. What’s fresher than a first time ever?
Names mean nothing, their actions are fascist
In that case, could you please number the “Actions” they’ve done that deem them fascist? It’s been 7 days of government, im sure you’ll have no issue narrowing them down in such a timeframe. I would like details if you are able to provide, thanks!
Okay sure,
Number 1: Threatening to jail and/or shoot protestors.
That was a fun game, thanks.
Thanks for the summary, unfortunately I must correct some inaccuracies on the provided bullet points
Number 1: The threat of Jail is only for those protesters who incur on Blocking Public roads and or depriving other citizens of their right to freely transit, which has always been against the law, which makes them Criminals. The threat of Jail is only for criminals. And the claim of shooting protesters is from someone NOT in the government, in fact they are opposition so it’s not attributable to the government in any way.
Hope this helps to make a clearer vision of what they have/are actually doing, would you please be so kind to update the list so we can see how many fascist things they are doing with that clarified?
Exactly, they should only protest out in the woods where nobody will be inconvenienced.
Good thing that the person who said what this article claims IS NOT in the government…
The security minister is not in the govt?
The security minister is in the government, yes.
The person who said “prison or bullet” is not.
I feel like Argentina is in for a rough ride. Meili is a buffoon, and dangerously ignorant.
Can confirm. It’s our own Trump / Bolsonaro.
Remember when that emu bit Bolsonaro? Good times.
I remember when he got stabbed… A shame he didn’t die.
My first thought was that this was very un-Libertarian of Milei, and then I got my answer:
José Luis Espert, a legislator in Bullrich’s Together for Change alliance, which is in coalition with Milei’s Liberty Advances party, replied with a three-word phrase: “Prison or bullet.”
Milei did not even say these lines.
It seems to be mostly about cracking down on disruptive protests that block traffic, etc.
Some of this just isn’t that bad:
It also limits the participation of teenagers in social protests, ruling that parents of youngsters who should have been at school instead of protesting will be sanctioned.
Fair & good.
Reading past the headline? Yeah…we don’t do that here
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Human rights activists in Argentina have expressed consternation over new security guidelines to crack down on an anticipated wave of protests after the incoming government of libertarian president Javier Milei devalued the country’s currency by more than 50%.
The aim of the new rules is to prevent a traditional form of protest known as piquete, in which demonstrators blockade city roads and highways for hours, days – and sometimes even weeks at a time.
“Under the promise of order [the government] seeks to suppress public protest against the effects of official measures,” said the Centre of Legal Studies (CELS) in a statement.
“The measures attack the right to protest and criminalize those who demonstrate and persecute social and political organizations.”Leftist legislator and former presidential candidate Myriam Bregman said on X (formerly Twitter): “What Bullrich announced is absolutely unconstitutional … The right to protest is the first of all rights.” José Luis Espert, a legislator with Milei’s party, Liberty Advances, replied with a three-word phrase: “Prison or bullet.”The new protocol empowers police at train and bus stations to seize face masks, sticks or other elements they consider could be used in a demonstration.
In this way, it criminalizes mothers and fathers who demand better conditions for their families and excludes those in charge of their care,” said the CELS in its statement.Television newscaster Mario Massaccesi of the TN news channel recalled that Bullrich herself blockaded downtown streets in Buenos Aires when protesting against Covid lockdowns.
“What authority does she have now to tell others they can’t protest?” asked the newscaster.Protests are expected in response to the massive wage cuts and transport and tariff hikes announced as part of Milei’s “chainsaw” economic programme.
The original article contains 516 words, the summary contains 281 words. Saved 46%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Fascists gonna fascist…
Believe it or not, jail…
Yeah no, that’s Venezuela, where, believe it or not, maduro runs over protestors with tanks, emulating his Chinese overlords
This article is straight up missinformation. The person who did that quote, ON TWITTER is not affiliated to the Political Party of the Government, they are in fact Opposition
The Guardian showing being a shit source
Edit: Also want to note, multiple claims on the Article not related to the headline are also fake, the Peso was not devalued by Javier Milei, it was already that bad before he became President, what he did was make the Government stop lying about it
You’re really fighting the good fight here
It’s impressive there’s even a fight to be had here, I expected Lemmy to be way more critical than Reddit but people seem to boast being lied to, meanwhile in Reddit this article has already been taken down for missinformation, thanks to the dozens of Argies providing proof of it being the case, saying the same things I am
I mean this place is a leftism cesspool, even more than Reddit. I’ll post miles new measures for the first week in Spanish on the arg Lemmy if you want
There’s an Arg lemmy? If so mind linking it, dont think I’ve seen one yet
