Argentina’s presidency said it is considering asking voters to decide which journalists should cover President Javier Milei’s events and is also mulling a “mute” button to silence overly persistent reporters.

Asked on Wednesday about reports that the presidency was considering a “mute” button in the press room, Milei’s spokesman Manuel Adorni initially denied it, then said, half-jokingly, that it “wouldn’t be bad.”

“When you go a bit too far I would press the button, especially when you don’t want to hand over the mic,” he said.

“When you repeat your question so many times your own colleagues feel you’re taking time away from them, it wouldn’t be a bad thing,” he added.
