Panam Post - Milei asks to resume negotiations with the United Kingdom for sovereignty of the Malvinas




"Today marks 191 years since the forced occupation of the Malvinas Islands by the United Kingdom, the Government and society as a whole claim our right to sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands," said Presidency spokesperson Manuel Manuel from the Casa Rosada. Adorni



Buenos Aires, Jan 3 (EFE).- The new Government of Argentina, headed by the libertarian Javier Milei, requested today, the date of the 191st anniversary of the British occupation of the Malvinas Islands, that sovereignty over the archipelago be returned and stated its willingness to resume bilateral negotiations with the United Kingdom.

“Today marks 191 years since the forced occupation of the Malvinas Islands by the United Kingdom, the Government and the entire society claim our right to sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands,” the spokesman for the Presidency, Manuel Adorni.

The Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for its part, issued a statement in which it advocates resuming bilateral negotiations with the United Kingdom “to find a solution to this sovereignty dispute, in accordance with the provisions of the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly. of the United Nations".

"The Argentine Government wishes to maintain a mature relationship with the United Kingdom, which contemplates a substantive and constructive dialogue on all issues of common interest with a view to generating a climate of trust conducive to the resumption of negotiations," the statement states.

The Executive of Javier Milei – which has proposed to direct its international policy preferably towards the United States, the European Union and Israel – is “convinced” that diplomatic means are “the only possible way” to find a solution to the dispute that Argentina and Great Britain maintain the sovereignty of the Malvinas, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands, as well as other maritime spaces located in the southwest of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Malvinas archipelago, 600 kilometers from the Patagonian coast, was the scene of a war between Argentina and the United Kingdom between April and June 1982, after the Military Junta –at that time headed by General Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri– to forcibly occupy the archipelago, under British control at that time.

The war – which ended with a victory for the United Kingdom – left a death toll of 649 Argentines, 255 British and three islanders; and continues to be very present in the social, political and cultural life of the South American country.

Recently, the British Government has considered that its sovereignty over the Falklands is “non-negotiable”.

 

Non-negotiable? Of course it's non-negotiable as you don't negotiate with the occupiers as Milei's fellow clown turned Prez Zelensky teaches.

Britain is in no position to fight, let alone win, another war over the Malvinas currently due to the sorry state of her economy, she's slipped out of the top twenty economies on ppp, the sorry state of her armed forces and given what goes on with Russia with lots of British equipment and materiel and some hundred militants already destroyed.

So the Malvinas could be taken very easily by the Argentinians all they need is courage and a little daring.
