The leftist Ecuadorian student Leonardo Arias stated during an interview with the media La Nación, that the government of Javier Milei is a dictatorship and accused him of creating a supposed "Gestapo".
His reprehensible statements came after the publication of Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) 681/2026 signed by the Argentine president, which introduces modifications to current regulations to restrict the entry or order the expulsion of foreigners who promote hate messages against Argentina or attack the country.
During the interview, Arias stated: “They are creating a Gestapo of public opinion, that is what Milei is really doing.”
In that same vein, despite the fact that the president was democratically elected, the Ecuadorian maintained that the country is going through a process comparable to authoritarian regimes. “Processes can take new forms. We have neo-Nazism, just as Nazism once existed,” he expressed.
