SIP warns Milei disinformation bill threatens press freedom

The Inter American Press Association (SIP) publicly criticized Argentina's proposed law criminalizing 'mass disinformation' and 'manipulation of public opinion,' warning it could be used to attack journalists. The SIP also condemned President Milei's derogatory comments toward media and restrictions on public information access. This marks a notable escalation in international press-freedom scrutiny of Milei's government, though the bill's legislative prospects remain uncertain.
