Argentine Olympic Committee releases watered down statement on Malvinas spot
The Argentine Olympic Committee has responded for the first time to an advertisement on state-run TV that links a dispute with Britain about the Falklands/Malvinas Islands to the London Games.
Argentine Olympic committee president Gerardo Werthein said in a statement on Tuesday -that using the games as a platform for “political gestures” is not acceptable but defends the right to freedom of speech for his athletes.
“The Argentine National Olympic Committee is fully committed to the Olympic Charter and the best practices of the Olympic movement”, said Werthein,
The International Olympic Committee denounced the ad last week, saying the Olympics should “not be a forum” for political issues and “the IOC regrets any attempts to use the spotlight of the games for that end”.
“The IOC has always striven to separate sport from politics and honour the spirit of the games and all those who take part,” the IOC statement said.
The state-supported advertisement, that was branded by Britain as “tasteless and insulting” shows Argentine field-hockey captain Fernando Zylberberg training in the disputed Falklands.
Precisely the first reactions came from the Falklands’ elected government describing the advert as a piece of “cheap and disrespectful propaganda”
In her first public statement on the issue, Argentina President Cristina Fernández defended the ad on Monday and said “creativity cannot be censored” and applauded the piece.
CFK went further and described the advert as an excellent message made by an Argentine working for an English agency, which “comes to show that the English also need to come to us for creativity”
The ad first ran last week and is still being shown on state-run TV.
Last week the agency that created the advertisement condemned its own commercial. Advertising agency Young & Rubicam apologized for the ad created by its branch in Argentina, saying the spot was deeply offensive to people around the world and to the Olympic spirit.
“We strongly condemn this work and have asked the Argentine government to pull the spot,” it said in a statement Friday, adding that the ad's creators “behaved in a manner that is unacceptable” to the company.
The AOC president belongs to a very rich Argentine Jewish family with interests in finance, insurance, agriculture and communications and is known to have political aspirations. Among his merits for the post was the fact he financed the Argentine Olympic quarters in Beijing 2008.

A strong statement would have been:
“It was a very inappropriate advertisment and we reject it categorically and distance ourselves from the government of Argentina's official policy.”
“Furthermore, as we try to distance Argentine sport and athletes from corruption and politicism, we want to be consistent and reject such values at the local and international level. Therefore, we have decided not to participate in the upcomming Summer Olympiad due to the politicism, corruption, and lack of transparency of the governing body of the event, the IOC, and the organizers who have yet to disclose how they won the bidding process. We hope for understanding in the matter and call on the IOC and the Argentine government to work on cleaning up their standards before Argentine athletes compete again”.
An Argentine complaining about the lack of transparency. Youre a fucking cheeky bastard. Fuckoff.

So what? Does your standard of “ad hominem all the time” mean you and your compatriots can't talk about food, women, republicanism, football, most other team sports, indigenous rights, and dental care?
RG Trolls you dont have to spout your rhetoric , think for yourselves and don't do the bidding of the Kircher Youth for your food parcels.
Free the Trolls , Trolls right to self determination free Guzz and Toby and Pirate Chappy....i am taking this the UN.
Once you're not trolled, you can just stand there and watch them.
CFK does not understand how to really annoy the Brits. She is annoying them, but in short bursts, as she is also placing Argentina in a silly chair by some of the antics.
A smart government would simply refuse to support the UK in any of their initiatives. Trade? Humanitarian appeal? UN vote? Bilateral accords? Ocean cooperation? Argentina should always vote no.
In the end that is what will really incense the UK gov. An Argentina that forgets about the Falklands and stops the tantrums about it, an Argentina that even perhaps accepts the self-determination of the Falklanders, but an Argentina that at every turn, in every other area or matter, sticks it up to the UK government.
Because what governments like the UK adore most of all is to be seen as leaders, as governments that can rally others around them. Not being able to do so is a source of great anger and resentment, and Argentina should play that card, soft, quiet, but pertinacious nettling.
Greek - I used to have a troll as a mascot at school, the bring you good luck i thought, didnt know they could use computers, sneaky buggers.
I belive Argentina has enough courage to scatter this Olympic Circus !
I can't wait for the whole olympic stadium to be given those color boards to hold in the air, and see the words “Falkland Islands, British forever”, to be displayed. That will go down so well in the now “venerable” IOC...
Can you imagine the Opening Ceremony being used by the UK? I woudn't put it past them.
cestrian : You are an IDI OT,buzz off,prick
o late wanker, we got your message loud and clear and you and your sportspersons will get the warmest of welcomes if they dare to show up in London
OHh thanks for the brits welcome.BTW,if anything happens to out athletes,Argentina will sue London for an hefty sum.....Please do that against our Argentine team... It will look real good on the brits people....
Go ahead and deal with us like you did YPF.

That sounds like good advice to me. Ignore the Falklands and snub the UK. Sounds like a win win win situation. We get left in peace, the UK doesn't have to waste any more time facing slow Argentine full tosses outside the off stump and Argentina regresses further into its self-induced isolation.
Maybe not officially, but individual spectators displaying a banner, or a crowd chorus, maybe even an invasion of a pitch, from either side really. I think they will not succeed in completely removing the Falklands issue from the games. It just depends how much it mars the games. Remember Beijing in 08 and the days before the games and the controversy there. Or Atlanta in 96 with the bombing, or the 1980 and 19843 olympics with the boycotts, or Munich and the massacre.
Joe, it would be nice. Isolation is much better than having bad friends who are enemies in disguise.
Gerardo Werthein is just trying to avoid being dropped out of a helicopter during the next Coup d'etat. It's really tough for rich people in Argentina, because you become the target of the administration when they need some funding. So if Gerardo Werthein does not toe the party line, his body might be found floating down the River Plate.
No wonder the Falkland Islanders shun Argentina. Who would want to be part of a country where you stand a reasonable chance of not surviving the next the change of administration?!
Being British, the Falkland Islanders have virtually no crime. So Fernando Zylberberg was able to run down the streets without the fear of being mugged for his trainers. But you can be sure that after this fake apology by the AOC chairman, the Argentine Olympic team will not be made welcome. If they try any Falklands stunt during the opening ceremony, then they will be the first Olympic team to be booed out of the stadium.
Your post makes no sense.
Great commercial, very creative and as usual Argentina is a beautiful country.

No matter how much you cry Malvinas we will go on making laws in our own land and there is nothing you, Cristina, Alicia, Hector, Maximo or any of the other hard liners can do about it.
@22
“...and you will keep coming for a bit of intellectual abuse by Argentine's”.
“Argentina will go on doing what it wishes in our land”.
Why not send a few RG soldiers on to do as you please.....
Chuckle, chuckle.
Cowards, the entire country is filled with nothing but cowards, criminals and liars. Who would easily sell there own grandmothers grave to make a quick dime. What a pathetic buch of loosers the Argtards are. How they can wipe there own arses is beyond me.
Really? Let’s examine the results of Argentina in the diplomatic arena shall we?
1. Argentina takes accusations of the UK militarising the South Atlantic to the UN. Argentine claims are instantly dismissed. Result....nothing.
2. Argentina insists SA solidarity for claim to the Falklands will be supported by numerous SA leaders attending commemoration ceremony in Ushuaia, nobody turns up. Result....nothing.
3. Argentina insists OAS will release statement supporting their claim to the Falkland’s. No such statement is released and CFK runs back to Argentina. Result....one stolen oil company.
So, apart from refusing to support humanitarian appeals (I love that one by the way. It puts you up there with Alicia “not everybody can have self determination” Castro and Hector “I'm a Fuckwit” Timerman) and the other nonsensical rubbish you spouted, how exactly do you think Argentina is capable of 'sticking it to the UK government'? Go on, do tell!

Argentina, on the brink.
Here's hoping.
but as long as she is your godess, why should you feel any different,
you deserve what you get,
just a shame the innocent ones will go down with you .
#24 Don't you wish that was true, I mean we know bery well how many planes fly from Latinamerica and it's not looking good for the pirates. Soon we will fine thousand of dollars to any nation sending planes to Islas Malvinas Argentina and we will be right back in the world stage Pesting the living lights out of all illegal aliens in Islas Malvinas Argentina, don't think the EU or the OIC will be there to protect you all the time, sooner or later UK will have to face Argentina alone. And I hope that by this time we will have a nuclear defense program to solve the islas Malvinas problem once and for all. Don't take me wrong we tried diplomacy but we all know how that went.
Are you Enjoying the status quo yet?? Get used to it, this is just getting started.
I am still not going to watch the Olympics and mock anyone talking about it.

canada,
youwill not leave,
you cannot leave
and you Will be watching the olympics,
its in your nature .
You're going to fine nations sending planes to the Falklands, which are not a part of Argentina's national territory??? WTF????
Just because an Argentine man ran a penal colony (which had nothing to do with Argentina) for two months in 1833 does not make it yours. The Falklands are further from Argentina that Britain is from Luxembourg. Also , Britain owned most of France for centuries. In the case of Calais and Normandy, they have spent just as much of their history under British rule as under French rule. France is also on the same continental shelf as Britain. If we go by Argentine logic, Britain should own over half of France. Does that sound logical? No. Does that sound ridiculous? Yes. Just as Argentina's claim over the Falklands is completely and utterly ridiculous.

They have had their collars felt by La Campora scum suckers.' Tow the line or we rape and kill your family in front of you'.
Ah yes. Truth and justice and the Argentinian way.
Unlike the Argentine, the UK does not use “rent a mob” like your “ civilized country”. The Argentine's actions are regarded as “flea bites” - a nuisance but not worth getting bothered about. If you wish to go isolationist, a good part of the world will say amen to that. You can say no to everything the UK government proposes - it matters not a whit ! Water off a duck's back.
The security at the Olympic games is an anti-terrorist precaution. There are some really nasty people out there - even worse than the Argies.- who would like to make a political gesture on the world stage.
I am sure that any Argentinian who wants to attend the games as a spectator or competitor and does not try to make political points in the stadium will be welcome. If they want to demonstrate outside their Embassy, it will probably be allowed provided it is peaceful.
As it has been said “ad naseum”, the average Brit. does not talk about the Falklands. Yes, it has been in the news because of the 30th anniversary of the conflict but the reaction has been - “are the Argies at it again?” - oh dear, what a pity, never mind
In a way, I can understand your frustration because all you can do is rant and rave and post derogatory comments which are returned in Spades.
As it is 2215, I will bid all a fond goodnight from.................................................
This royal throne of Kings, this scepter'd isle,
this other Eden, this demi paradise
this precious stone set in a silver sea,
against the envy of less happier lands
this blessed plot, this earth,this realm, this ENGLAND
(actually from 100 miles or 166 km. north.)
With apologies to Mr. W. Shakespeare.
Britain will happily see these millionaires gain their full independence to satisfy the UN requirements on non-self governing territories.
Argentina can watch and weep and the entire north, south and east basins open up for the islanders. Hopefully, the trade opportunities for Chile and Uruguay will not be overlooked and the Islanders will be seen for what they are:
South American citizens and a country in their own right, unlike theArgentines they displaced noone to gain their land.
“.. all illegal aliens in Islas Malvinas Argentina”.
They all went back in 1982 when we kicked you useless fuckers off British sovereign soil.
“sooner or later UK will have to face Argentina alone. And I hope that by this time we will have a nuclear defense program to solve the islas Malvinas problem once and for all. Don't take me wrong we tried diplomacy but we all know how that went. Are you Enjoying the status quo yet?? Get used to it, this is just getting started”!.
Chuckle, chuckle. You couldnt kick my Grans fucking arse you prick.
did you manage to get your food parcel today and money from La Campora? no doubt a patriot as you will have it all salted away in a swiss bank account as well. Knob head.
It is true. You can stop the LAN flight any time you want. The alternative would be in place and operating within 6 months, max. We've gone longer without it before. The other two fights currently operating (the UK MoD and the oil flights) will take up the slack while it gets going.
So you're going to nuke us huh? Make up your mind. Are you a peaceful nation or are you a bigger warmonger than the UK? Answer: you wish you were a bigger warmonger than the UK but you're not so you have to act like you want to be peaceful.
We're still here Pirat and there is nothing you can do about it and you know it.
I mean Arsentina with a nuclear defense program? When they the can't even grasp basic economics WTF!!!!!
The lad talks complete shite. Nuking the Falklands would leave fuckall left, but then again thats Rg logic for you.
the fact is they are soft as shite and would shit their pants at the prospect of facing the British armed forces. Long before RG got nuclear weapons the UK would simply take them out.
also it would be in direct contravension of the Non Proliferation Treaty they signed - but then again they abide by no treaties.
Rg Land will never have nuclear weapons. He is living in dreamland. The rest of south america wouldnt allow it never mind the UK/NATO etc.
Pirat hunter is symrtomatic of the average La Campora member - an utter hypocrite who changes his mind from one day to the next.
Utter Nazi lying fucking scum.
I'm not sure why we're talking about a f*cked-up hell-hole that is desperate to troll us, and not talking about nice things like which cakes are best. Or, how many cups of tea can we all drink in a day.
Nicely put.
Pirat. What do you say?
Right. Finished work for the evening and time to go home. Mrs Bloggs just called to say dinner is ready. See you all later.
“we have laws in Argentina that prevent liars from publishing”
Now there's a joke, as everything published in Argentina about the Falklands is a lie. But then Argentinians never obey any laws anyway ....
www.facebook.com/groups/406831156008806/
Argentina will never own the Falklands. forget about it and move on. you have no claim on the islands, never have, dont and never will. youve been brainwashed and now you are paid by an internal Nazi security apparatus La Campora to come on here and spout shite.
no one in the UK gives two fucks about Argentina. you are nothing but an inconsequential irritant who is laughed at by the Uk Government.
the more you and your politicans talk, particularly your crackpot president, the more embarrassing you become.
Argentina, the gift that keeps on giving.
LOL.
The only illegal people on the Falklands were the RG's in 1833 and 1982. Fortunately all of these pirates and colonialists were kicked off by the sovereign nation - the British.
If the Rg's try again it will be the same result - totally ferked over by the British Armed forces. The Rg's should just move on and stop embarrassing themselves.
the RG's are no more than colonialist, imperialist, pirates.
Also there is no need to tell me what would happen in another war is I am in electrician who served my time with BAE Systems and did extensive work on the Type 45 project as well as others.
I was lucky (or unlucky enough LOL) to sail on these ships during sea trials and have seen the weapon systems in action!!!!!
It wouldn't have bothered Falkland Islanders if the Argie sport-squad had come over and worked with FI folks transparently to do something that could be seen as some sign of a cooperative, collaborative venture. If Argies had been open and hadn't slighted the Falklands WWI memorial, but rather gone out to run around the Argentine cemetery in Darwin (http://g.co/maps/wh3aa), probably been a bit of a brownie point for the Argentines. But no - was not to be and probably the Argie video-makers didn't even give it any thought - although would be interesting to know more about how decisions got mad on that one.
Interesting as an aside that the Werthein family only arrived in Argentina from Russia in 1904, while some Falklands families can trace back FI ancestors way before that. However, as the article concludes with statement that Werthein is a “...very rich Argentine Jewish family with interests in finance, insurance, agriculture and communications and is known to have political aspirations.” Also, several members of Werthein family have been active in the Argentine-Israel Chamber of Commerce (www.ccai.com.ar/autoridadesing.html) and we know now that Israel supported Argentina, apparently because Israeli PM Begin hated the British (remember his role as British-soldier killing Irgun terrorist in 19444-48?)
www.thejc.com/news/world-news/67104/israel-sold-argentina-arms-1982-during-falklands
So did Werthein family also have a role in getting Israeli weapons to Argentina in 1982?

It's rather an obvious point but Article 1 of the Treaty of Tlatelolco states:
1. The contracting parties undertake to use exclusively for peaceful purposes the nuclear material and facilities which are under their jurisdiction, and to prohibit and prevent in their respective territories; (a) The testing, use, manufacture, production, or acquisition by any means whatsoever of any nuclear weapons, by the parties themselves, directly or indirectly, on behalf of anyone else or in any other way.
So in your scenario Argentina would once again break international law and introduce nuclear weapons into Latin America. You would then no doubt march yourself to the UN and accuse yourself of militarising the South Atlantic to which you would deny all accusations and bleat on about how the evil British usurpers made you do it. On top of that you would then test an 'H bomb' on the Falklands simultaneously ridding them of their inhabitants and making any future habitation impossible. Brilliant!
Not really.
Argentina can withdraw anytime.
Article X
1. Each Party shall in exercising its national sover-eignty have the right to withdraw from the Trea-ty if it decides that extraordinary events, related to the subject matter of this Treaty, have jeopard-ized the supreme interests of its country. It shall give notice of such withdrawal to all other Par-ties to the Treaty and to the United Nations Se-curity Council three months in advance. Such notice shall include a statement of the extraordi-nary events it regards as having jeopardized its supreme interests.
ized the supreme interests of its country. It shall give notice of such withdrawal to all other Par-ties to the Treaty and to the United Nations Se-curity Council three months in advance. Such notice shall include a statement of the extraordi-nary events it regards as having jeopardized its supreme interests.
What a bunch of criminals,the one they have nukes..
Anytime Argentina has the capacity to build...
Of course we will be in sync with our neighbours...
Arsentina developing nuclear weapons indead LOL
I'd be more impressed if you weren't quoting article x of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), however, I was talking about the Treaty of Tlatelolco.
That must have been one horrible time, WWII, specially in the year 1948, I've heard was particularly brutal. Argentina was so wrong in nationalizing the railways from Britain and France in that year.
Assuming that Argentina want to experience the delightful sanctions that both Iran an North Korea are now enjoying, please do announce a nuclear weapons development program. ...should be fun to watch... (Yes the world is unfair.)
Some say Argentina did build a nuke. Those that say this are former top intelligence officials.
www.lionessmedia.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=78
“The Terror Trade features an exclusive interview with ”Eric“, an international arms dealer who tells with chilling detachment of underground plutonium buyers gathering at a Sudanese hotel ”so full of people, it was like a flea market.“ He also states in the program that Argentina has had an atomic bomb since 1983, and identifies various countries involved in nuclear black market trading. Israel, Libya, Argentina, South Africa, Iran, Iraq, Syria, India, Pakistan and Brazil - countries which appear to see possession of nuclear weapons as essential to guaranteeing their national security - have sought black market materials.”
Out of all the suspected nuclear states, Argentina has always been been pointed as one of the ones most likely to have done it. Why I'm not sure.

#33 irrelevant rant. What Europeans do or stops doing to each other is none of America's concern. Let alone Islas Malvinas Argentina. You are talking europe I am talking southamerica.
#35 we are civilized, we made a video you guys are starting a nuclear arms race in southamerica. We rather be isolated then dealing with blood thirsty warmongers from Libya, this is why we now make tv for national consumption and other people envy it so much that they come here to ventilate their anger. I don't like to see nude people on tv, but I change the channel. I don't blame UKistan when the remote runs out of battery. Chillax loosers.

#36 they being richer then Even UK when they can have the biggest british ship at their disposal. You got to love the brutish tax system and their austerity measures. Ummmmmmhmm! European freedom for all at monkeymagoon expense. Hip hip hurray!
#37 I am not the kind that would beat you am all up for pushing dirt over your grave. And I don't work for lacampora but I do admire them for their support to CFK, I make money on shows you probably enjoyed. Chuckle. Chuckle.
#39 isolation can build true independence and you are welcome.
#40 you should pick up a newspaper more often. I didn't hear of austerity in Argentina yet but did from europe, a nuclear defense program doesn't take much now days when people will do anything to eat Argentine beef in North Korea, Iran or China.
#41 if UK, NATO, Libya, iraq, Palestine, afghanistan and fakland have a problem I think they should get together and fix it themselves.
I hate to tell you so bluntly, but no one in the world of 2012 wants to nuke you guys, you are just not that important. The Russians, Chinese and USA want to nuke each other in any case, not Les Rosbifs or the Frogs. And the terrorists also would not bother with a dirty bomb in Europe, they can use conventional bombs there. They will only try to sneak such a device to their mortal enemy, which is the USA.
So... why do the UK and France have nukes? There is no imminent geopolitical reason (a) as established above. And logistically there isn't one either, as the USA has enough nukes to “protect” both France and the UK in any event.
So no geopolitical reason (option “A”), no logistical reason (option “B”)... The only remaining option is “C” for both countries, and the most obvious one
Penis insecurity.
Salbuchi side-steps the inconvenient truth that Argentina invaded the Falklands on 2 April 1982, and he goes on to see hidden designs of Zionism in the London Olympics...
Salbuchi is an Argentine politician-journalist who seems to believe that the surrender of the Argie military junta on 14 June led to a Treaty of Versailles situation - with Argentina in the lamentable position of Nazi Germany. Tsk, tsk...

You make a fair point but this will never happen as there is no short term popularity benefit for the governemnt in doing this. That is all they are interested in, banging the nationalistic drum. the softly, softly catchy-monkey approach just isn't in her nature.
someone about to be sacked over the olympic advert.
What he is really saying is that he defends the right of his athletes to spout Argentine propaganda that is not based on historical fact.
Hence, his comments are worthless.
There was a load bloody faries,
In Buenos bloody Aries,
With greasy hair and sweaty bums,
They'd never heard of Bonningtons,
It were a different culture and a different race,
No chippies in bloody place.
You can keep that poof Fartiles,
'Cos we're going to have your Malvines.
Hey up, hey up, hey up, hey up.
Well, they got us back son, without a doubt,
Time to sort them bastards out,
Costa Mendes lives in fear
Of real men who can hold their beer.

Sing hey hey hey the lads are on their way,
With their bayonets and their tommy guns
And their bellies full of Boddingtons.
Hey up, hey up, hey up, hey up. Whoo!
Get in there my son, let's set up a couple of pubs.
Let the bitter flow, nuke 'em till they glow...
Hey up, hey up, hey up, hey up.
Fray Bentos and cheap red wine is all they eat in the Argentine,
But after a scrap with the English Navy,
They'll ask for the recipe for chips and gravy.
Sing hey, hey, hey, the lads are on their way,

And their bellies full of Boddingtons.

Never mind that the ad was not creative and offensive and a bit rubbish, I bet the Argentinian will STILL hold issue if anyone does get the boot, saying about “sour grapes” or “The british revenge” for not getting an apology. I bet that is what will happen
@4 How could it be argieland? There was no sign of “homes” made from corrugated tin, hijacked utility supplies, open sewers, turds in the street. And I couldn't see any queer except the argie “athlete”. The bit with the steps was interesting. But Sylvester Stallone did it better!
@5 What would you know about women or indigenous rights? But I understand your interest in dental care. I gather that cannibalism is becoming very popular in South America. Is this your new means of making people “disappear”?
@8 Excellent idea. Go for it.
@11 Another excellent idea. Send us details of all your doped “competitors”.
@12 Of course you wouldn't. It would be at your level.
@14 AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
@16 Missiles up argie arses. Real (crowd) control.
@22 You've never had any heroes, dead or alive. Argie heroes in the Falkland Islands? They'd be the ones (11,313) that surrendered, wouldn't they?
@31 Funny little boy. How are you going to fine someone who can just fly away? But go for it and watch Maximo's toy become a real domestic burden. When it won't be allowed to land anywhere except argturdland. And even if were allowed to land, have you any idea of the landing fees you would have to pay?
@46 That's not a nuclear defence programme. It's a nuclear offense programme. Didn't you sign and ratify a treaty banning such things? I imagine ALL your neighbours will less than happy. They'll probably invade just to destroy your toys.
