Argentina intensifies penalties against Ultra violence
In response to recent violent clashes, the Argentine government has announced stricter penalties for football Ultras responsible for acts of violence.
A proposed anti-Ultra bill was introduced on March 12, 2025, by Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, following unprecedented confrontations between police and hundreds of Ultras protesting for retirees' rights in downtown Buenos Aires.
During the bill's presentation to the Chamber of Deputies, Bullrich introduced the concept of "illegal sports association," aimed at targeting supporters of clubs involved in vandalism. The legislation seeks to impose harsher penalties on hooligans while delineating the responsibilities of club officials in incidents of violence.
According to Bullrich, this legislative initiative categorizes the offense as a specific type of illicit association, encompassing all activities conducted by Ultras, including fundraising mechanisms sanctioned by club leaders. Furthermore, supporters who instigate violence will be permanently barred from entering football stadiums.
Last Wednesday, the Argentine Congress esplanade witnessed violent confrontations between Ultras from various clubs and law enforcement, resulting in serious injuries. That same day, police detained approximately one hundred protesters, who were swiftly released by a judge, inciting government outrage.
