The Mancino Law (1993) establishes that is prohibited "any organization, association, movement or group that has among its purposes the incitement to discrimination or violence for racial, ethnic, national or religious. Who participates in these organizations, associations, movements or groups is punished for the mere fact of participation or assistance, with imprisonment from six months to four years. Those who promote or direct such organizations, associations, movements and groups are punished for that reason alone, with imprisonment from one to six years".
