These days, many Vatican spokesmen working in Argentina’s main media have expressed their hope that Francis, the only South American pope who has visited 64 countries, is willing to finally bring his humanity to this corner of his birth. As long as the national government lowers the volume of verbal confrontation.
President Javier Milley, moving with the grace of a triceratops at the communications fair, needed only this conjecture to express his great aspirations in a television interview: “I would love to join Cristina in the Kirchnerist Put the last nail in the drawer.
The former president, who had just heroically dodged a bullet that a dangerous gang of candy-chip dealers couldn’t put into her brain, said they weren’t going to kill her this time either, posting a response on her network, which included She echoed the president’s line about him being — in the language of the neighborhood — “They’re going to throw you away like one of those gadgets that’s meant to be used once.” She also forgot about Bergolia’s request. .
Verbal attacks are a fixture of public discourse in Argentina. (AI generated image)
Asking Argentines not to insult—to abuse stereotypes—is like trying to ban Italians from gesticulating or Britons from drinking tea.
The nation’s history can be read as a series of hurtful verbal attacks. Foreign observers might conclude that becoming a political, trade union or sporting leader in this country is a requisite for a professional career.
New time travel. Cristina Kirchner rejects Mire’s ‘guilty apology’ and accuses him of benefiting financial sector
When former President Alberto Fernández came into office, his social networks were filled with insults directed at celebrities, but also at anonymous people with whom he got into early-morning fights. He used the word “asshole” in 209 of his 223 tweets, calling someone an “asshole” 60 times… and he usually responded with a worse word.
Recent violence complaints he received from his ex-partner reveal chat A private conversation between the two in which Fernandez repeatedly insults the person she respects most amateur Argentinian football.
Cristina Kirchner discovered the same thing when her phone conversations with her collaborators were published: “Get your braces stitched up,” she advised her opponents. Another great oral jewelery maker was Hebe de Bonafini, president of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, who was visited by the Argentinian Máxima Zorreguieta. She told President Mauricio Macri that he was a “respectable son of a bitch” and said “I hate the Queen”.
“Donofrio must be burned in a public square,” Rosario Central president Raul Broglia said of his then River Plate partner. “Borudo! “You charge 100 pesos a month, Gil!” Jorge Sampaoli, the former national football coach, yelled at a traffic inspector who wanted to fine him. “You have it,” Maradona said to a sportswriter.
“Drunk,” social leader Luis D’Elia told Minister Patricia Burridge. “He’s a piece of shit,” union member Hugo Moyano repeated of then-President Fernando de la Rúa. “I knew you were a gangster, but I didn’t know you were a bastard,” Elisa Carrió responded to Deputy Chief Nicolás Massot. “He’s a stupid brand of canon,” rhymed Luis Juez of Cordoba about Gov. Axel Kicillof. “We gave that bastard a name,” President Nestor Kirchner said of prosecutor Gerardo Polisita.
Diego Capusoto’s characters, such as Violencia Rivas, reflect the often insulting character of the speech of many Argentines.
Leader Juan Grabois this week suggested to President Milais: “Use necrophilia to dig out the brain and put it under your wig, you lobotomy patient,” the party director said. Thousands of people shouted “Son of a bitch!” to reporters. In the middle of the meeting, national lawmaker Cecilia Moreau shouted “faggot” at House Speaker Martín Menem.
We are a nation of coprolalia because the word coprolalia illustrates this pathological tendency that we must so tirelessly express insults and obscenities.
We Argentines dress up public conversation like it is a public bathroom. It is impossible not to see a certain helplessness in the scene, because after more than half a century of “downhill”, it seems that since we cannot change this reality, at least we are taking revenge by tarnishing it.
We as a country use the phrase “son of a bitch” in many ways, from insulting genocide to welcoming our best friend home in the most affectionate way possible. “What did you do for so long, you bastard!” This rewording of the abuse is not universal, which is why Argentines are so picturesque as locals when they come to admire us from faraway destinations.
It comes from his soul. An insult to Franco Colapinto despite his great results in Spain
We insult even the greatest joys. “Hang on Argentina, your mother’s shell,” shouted the always-right Lionel Messi as he took the microphone at a celebration in Barcelona. “Whores deserve to live too!” This is one of the iconic phrases of national cinema. The writer Roberto Fontanarosa argued that “calling a person stupid or foolish is not the same as calling him an idiot”: even the meaning of the sentence is lost.
Insults are sometimes the last line of defense before physical attacks. That’s why it’s serious business for leaders to naturalize him. The more insults are thrown, the less likely it is that a life-improving agreement can be reached. Prostitution pollutes public discourse and strains the atmosphere of democratic dialogue. We invest so much creativity in our insults and so little in our well-being!
Even the greatest national joy must be sealed with a mantra: “I don’t care what those damn reporters say, the whores who gave birth to them!”, intoned the dressing room of the Argentinian football team on the day they won the championship. Because in Argentina, even happiness can be sung.

Interview with Dr. Emilia Rodríguez, Cultural Analyst and Argentine Political Commentator
Interviewer: Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Rodríguez. With the current political climate in Argentina and the colorful language often used by public figures, how does this reflect the broader cultural attitudes in the country?
Dr. Rodríguez: Thank you for having me. The way we communicate in Argentina, especially in politics, has deep roots in our history. Insults and confrontational language have almost become part of a cultural identity. We have this unique way of expressing ourselves that often crosses the line into the absurd. It can be humorous but also quite distressing, as it reflects a level of societal frustration.
Interviewer: Speaking of frustration, there seems to be some hope that Pope Francis will bring a softer touch to the Argentine political discourse. What do you think the chances are of that happening?
Dr. Rodríguez: It’s a complex situation. Pope Francis, as the first South American pope, carries significant moral weight, and many hope that he will bridge the divides within Argentina. However, for any meaningful dialogue to happen, the national government and its leaders must first tone down the verbal confrontations and create a more respectful environment. Right now, the language of insult seems to overshadow constructive discussion.
Interviewer: President Javier Milei’s remarks about wanting to collaborate with Cristina Kirchner reflected a desire to unite but were also rooted in political rivalry. How do you perceive this dynamic?
Dr. Rodríguez: Milei’s statement underscores the paradox in Argentine politics—desire for collaboration amid longstanding divides. Political rivalries in our country have often led to dramatic confrontations, and while there may be some genuine hope for cooperation, I think many people view such statements with skepticism. The patterns of insults and hostility feel ingrained, making it hard for genuine dialogue to emerge.
Interviewer: It seems many political figures also indulge in inflammatory language. How does that affect the public’s perception of their leaders?
Dr. Rodríguez: When leaders engage in insults, it creates a culture where such behavior is normalized; it sets a poor example. The public starts to mirror this behavior, which in turn can undermine the trust and respect we have for our leaders. This cycle of verbal aggression can lead to a toxic political landscape that detracts from the pressing issues facing the country.
Interviewer: In your view, what is needed to change this culture of insults and foster a more respectful political discourse?
Dr. Rodríguez: It begins with education—promoting critical thinking and encouraging young people to engage in dialogue rather than divisive rhetoric. Political leaders must also take responsibility for their language and the tone they set. Additionally, influencers in media, sports, and the arts need to model positive communication, showing that it’s possible to disagree without resorting to insults. Only then can we hope for a shift in this long-standing tradition of verbal combat.
Interviewer: Thank you, Dr. Rodríguez, for your insights. It seems the path toward a healthier political culture in Argentina will require greater effort from everyone involved.
Dr. Rodríguez: Absolutely. It’s a collective challenge, and while change might be slow, it is possible if we work together towards a more respectful discourse. Thank you for having me.
Avior becomes normalized. The public begins to see this aggressive communication as a standard approach to politics rather than an exception. It can erode trust in leaders, as people may question their ability to resolve conflicts or lead the country effectively. Instead of fostering respect and cooperation, it leads to greater division and cynicism among the electorate.
Interviewer: Given the prominence of insults in public discourse, can you share your thoughts on how this might impact the future of democracy in Argentina?
Dr. Rodríguez: That’s a significant concern. The prevalence of insults can undermine democratic dialogue, as constructive discourse is essential for any democracy to function properly. If political communication continues on this path, it may prevent the formation of alliances needed for effective governance and spark societal divisions. As long as political actors rely on insults rather than solutions, we are likely to see increased polarization and potentially a disengagement from the political process among the public.
Interviewer: what role do you believe the media plays in perpetuating or mitigating this culture of insults?
Dr. Rodríguez: The media plays a dual role. On one hand, it can amplify the confrontational language of political leaders, thus perpetuating this culture. On the other hand, responsible journalism has the power to challenge this rhetoric and promote more respectful discourse. If the media prioritizes sensationalism over substantive reporting, it risks reinforcing negative behaviors. However, if they encourage civil dialogue and critically evaluate the language used by political figures, they can help pave the way for a healthier political climate.
Interviewer: Thank you, Dr. Rodríguez, for your insightful analysis. It’s clear that addressing the language of insult in Argentine politics is crucial to fostering a more constructive and collaborative political environment.
Dr. Rodríguez: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to discuss these important issues.
