Argentina prohibits inclusive language in public administration

The Government of Javier Milei will prohibit inclusive language and the gender perspective in the national public administration, due to its use as a “business of politics.” This measure had already been recently taken by the Ministry of Defense in the military sphere.

“Actions are going to begin to prohibit inclusive language and everything related to the gender perspective throughout the national public administration, which has been used as a political business,” said the presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni, in his usual press conference at the Casa Rosada.

The measure contemplates that no public administration document may contain the use of the vowel ‘e’ or the symbols ‘x’ and ‘@’ to express gender indeterminacy, as well as the “unnecessary inclusion of the feminine” in the subjects. plurals, he explained.

«The language that covers all sectors is Spanish and it is a debate in which we (Government) are not going to participate, because we consider that gender perspectives have been used as political business. This decision had already been made by the Ministry of Defense and it is simply extended to the rest of the agencies,” Adorni added.

Under resolution 160/2024, the Defense portfolio, headed by Luis Petri, established the mandatory nature of the Spanish language, in accordance with the standards of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) and the regulations and manuals in force in the Armed Forces.

“The objective is to eliminate incorrect forms of language that can generate an erroneous interpretation of what is desired, affecting the execution of orders and the development of military operations,” the ministry said in a statement published this Monday.
