“There is no room in Argentina for these types of expressions, which make reference to a tragic era in human history,” Security Minister Patricia Bullrich said in the statement."

Would they seize old Soviet artifacts, considering they butchered about 20X as many people as the Nazis?

LOL, I was thinking along the same lines.
You'd think they would have been use to seeing things like that by now, since the nazis have been there seen WWII.

I'm surprised there weren't enough relics available locally, considering how many nazis were supposed to have skipped out to South America.

Wasn't Argentina a prime retirement spot for Nazi war criminals after their allegiance to the Führer des deutschen Reiches und Volkes waned.
