A plastic closure with a slide opening for a bottle neck or a container spout, the plastic closure comprising: a rotating cap having a pouring hole and two substantially parallel guide rails formed on an under side of the rotating cap; a slide guided on an under side of the rotating cap so constructed and arranged so as to be displaced in a translational manner in relation to the pouring hole, the slide comprising a cam and a straight guide side on two opposing sides of the slide, the two opposing sides guided loosely between the two guide rails of the rotating cap; and a gate cap fitting into the under side of the rotating cap, the gate cap having an emptying hole and a groove as a gate guide, into which groove the cam of the slide projects, wherein the rotating cap is capable of rotation on the gate cap, the gate cap intended for stationary installation on the bottle neck or the container spout, and wherein a relative movement of the rotating cap and the gate cap produces a displacement of the cam along the gate guide so that the slide is capable of displacement in a translational manner into an open position and a closed position.
