“The language that covers all sectors is the language we use in the Castilian language, it is Spanish,” justified the Argentine government, which does not consider it necessary to introduce new “structures” to accommodate other sensitivities.
The government of Argentina has vetoed the use of inclusive language and gender perspective throughout public administration, arguing that ‘It has been used as a political issue’just a few hours after the Ministry of Defense also confirmed a similar measure.

“The language that covers all sectors is the language we use in the Castilian language, it is Spanish,” justified Adorni, who does not consider it necessary to introduce new “structures” to accommodate other sensitivities.
The Minister of Defense, Luis Petrihad also established on Monday “the compulsory nature of the Spanish language, in accordance with the rules of the Royal Spanish Academy”, with the aim of “eliminating incorrect linguistic forms” that “could lead to erroneous interpretation” and even the development of military operations.
“Communications in the field of National Defense must be short, clear and concise, in accordance with what is established in the corresponding military regulations,” reads a ministry resolution, warning of measures against those who do not comply with this new keep guidelines.
