At the same time, Alemann was a correspondent for the Berlin daily newspaper . Due to his liberal attitude, the newspaper he edited defended the attitude of the Weimar Republic . Alemanns Argentinisches Tageblatt opposed the emerging National Socialism and called the National Socialists Naziots , which led to some conflicts. It was boycotted by those Germans in Argentina who leaned towards National Socialist ideology, and the newspaper received repeated bomb threats. The distribution of the daily newspaper was banned in the Third Reich from 1933 and in 1936 Ernesto Alemann's doctorate from Heidelberg University was officially revoked because of political activities and opposition to the Nazi regime.
