Argentina's Foreign Minister bans diplomats from using inclusive language

Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno publicly criticized the Argentine Embassy to the European Union for the use of inclusive language in its official communication channels. According to information from the Argentine News Agency, the head of the San Martín Palace's displeasure arose after viewing the biography of the diplomatic mission's account on X (formerly Twitter), which read: "Welcome to the official page of the Argentine Embassy to the EU". The reaction of the Minister of Foreign Affairs was immediate. Quirno's order establishes the definitive guideline for the diplomatic corps: a ban on the use of 'x', 'e', or '@' to refer to neutral genders, aligning the external discourse with the traditional forms of the Spanish language and removing inclusive symbolism from official representations. The 'cultural battle' promoted by the national government has added a new chapter on the diplomatic front. Using the same platform, he cited the embassy's profile (@ARGanteUE) with a sharp directive: "Let's fix this URGENTLY please @Cancilleria_Ar". The request exposes the decision of the Javier Milei administration to eradicate the so-called 'woke agenda' from state institutions.
