For me the'll throw away the key

Wow. I can't imagine how anyone could ostensibly allow free speech and turn around and propose (or approve of) something like this.

I wonder if the second use of the word "insults" in the (I'm assuming Google) translated text in the OP doesn't really mean what it seems: "disqualifications" (original word "descalificaciones"). In other words, concepts that might prejudice others related to the qualifications of someone running for office? While I speak good conversational Spanish, even though it doesn't seem so to me maybe it would indeed translate as "insults" in this context. If it is a matter of such use as I'm thinking, though, that could be fairly broadly interpreted.

And of course, I'm sure such a law will be used with such care, on all sides of the political spectrum, "en la manera de igualdad para todos y todas". I better not mention my opinion that the Kirchners have judges and prosecutors in their pockets (not to mention lawmakers) already who will be able to determine without prejudice, public or hidden, who should be found guilty of writing or publishing such things. Or who may be backing such websites that allow such filth to be presented.

I'd be interested to see what Matias' and Bajo's thoughts on such a law are.

I think Matías is more immediately concerned with his tunneling contract.

Google did a good job... jajaja I speak Spanish and read both terms Insultos and Descalificaciones in the Spanish Text. I don't plan to interpret the nuances I leave that up to you . B)

Half of BAexpats will end up in jail and Matias and Bajo will have no one to argue with!

 

[cruizes]

The expats should have a lot of company in jail.

 

[thorsten]

It's a great idea: in a country with a very efficient judicial system where judges are bored and not having enough cases, give them some work to do (and also create some new jobs for criminal defense lawyers)!

They'll be too busy testifying to have time to argue.
