Jair Bolsonaro questioned Argentina’s use of “neutral language”: “How does this help your people?”

Jair Bolsonaro has spoken out against the decision of some official organizations in Argentina to implement the use of “neutral language”. The president of Brazil also implied that its use does not generate any benefit for the population.

“I regret the formalization of Argentina’s use of” neutral language “. How does this help your people? “, She launched in the surprising first tweet of a thread consisting of three publications, not all related to our country.

There, the Brazilian president added, with respect to our country, “the only change that occurs is that there is now ‘scarcity’, ‘poverty’ and ‘unemployment'”. “May God protect our Argentine brothers and help them to get out of this difficult situation”, he wished at the end of the opening message.

One of the latest organizations to adhere to the use of inclusive language in Argentina was the Nation’s Ministry of Public Works. This is indicated by a resolution (244/2022) published last June 28 in the Official Gazette. The recommendation, they clarified, does not include the use of “e” and “x”.

In the first article of this regulation, Gabriel Katopodis, holder of this portfolio, resolved to promote “the use of non-sexist and inclusive language and communication as valid forms of expression in productions, documents, deeds and administrative acts in all sectors “of the Ministry.

The provision, the text underlines, aimed at “discouraging the generic use of the masculine” and provided for “the adequacy of the models of notes, spreadsheets, forms and other internal and / or external communication documentation so that their formulation was consistent with gender inclusive language.

The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic, with its “BCRA Guide for Inclusive Communication”; the Ministry of Transport and its “Practical Guide to Communication with Gender Sensitivity in Transport”; and the Secretariat for Internal Trade of the Ministry of Productive Development, which approved the “Guide to Good Commercial Practices in Gender and Diversity Issues”, which envisages the use of an inclusive language, have adhered to this modality.

In mid-July, the National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism (Inadi) prepared a guide with recommendations for implementing inclusive communication in education, in order to establish forms of dialogue in which “they respect and make visible to all identities, without discrimination, adapting to the regulations in force in our country “.
