Argentine government restrictions on press and activists

Overview

The Argentine government has implemented measures that critics describe as targeting freedom of expression and press access. Initially, the national executive restricted access to the Casa Rosada press room for accredited journalists, disabling digital credentials in biometric systems. Officials cited the need to combat disinformation and a “hybrid war” allegedly funded by Russian intelligence.

Following these restrictions, the Argentine Federal Police conducted raids on the homes of activists in Rosario. The targets were reportedly linked to social media activities and the Assembly for Palestinian Action. Human rights organizations and academic delegates have condemned these actions as “political and ideological persecution,” suggesting a broader pattern of censorship and intimidation against those critical of the government.
