Argentina Enhances Penalties for Crimes Against Teachers Posted by Owen at 2126, 20 Apr 1616 | 0 CommentsForeign Affairs, LawArgentinaI prefer the whole “everyone is equal under the law” standard. Education minister Esteban Bullrich’s plan would add a 25% higher penalty if an offence was against a teacher. Mr Bullrich said it would make sure the public showed them more “respect”. If the law is adopted by Argentina’s congress it would mean any attack against a teacher would become an aggravated offence with increased penalties.
