Argentine ambassador summoned over ‘intimidation’ to cruise lines calling in Falklands
Britain summoned Argentina's ambassador to London on Monday after masked men ransacked the offices of a shipping company in Buenos Aires, a move the Foreign Office alleged was aimed at deterring ships from visiting the disputed Falkland Islands.
The Foreign Office said the shipping firm, agents for a cruise company, had been attacked on November 19, causing the cancellation of a planned visit to the islands some 482 km off Argentina's coast.
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez has launched a wide-ranging diplomatic offensive to try to assert Argentina's claim to the Islands 30 years after the Falklands war, angering Britain which says the Islanders want to continue to remain a largely autonomous British Overseas Territory Territory and are expected to ratify it for the world in a March referendum.
The Foreign Office, which labelled the shipping office incident a “violent act of intimidation”, said it had summoned Alicia Castro, Argentina's envoy to London, after earlier invitations had been ignored.
A British official with knowledge of the matter said Britain was concerned it had not received assurances that British-linked firms would not be attacked again. The official said Britain was also worried the attackers may have had state backing.
“It is shameful that elements within a large country like Argentina should seek to strangle the economy of a small group of islands. Such action benefits nobody and only condemns those who lend it support,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.
“We were disappointed that it was necessary formally to summon the ambassador into the Foreign Office. We made several attempts to arrange for a less formal meeting, each of which the Argentine embassy declined,” the statement said.
The Argentine embassy was not immediately available for comment, but the British official said after the meeting that Castro had been “very cross” to have been summoned and that she had accused the Foreign Office of “wasting her time”.
The British official said Britain believed Argentina had been contacting cruise companies and other firms to try to pressure them into not doing business with the Falkland Islands.
Cristina Fernandez has accused London of maintaining “colonial enclaves” and has demanded the two countries sit down to discuss the disputed Islands' sovereignty - a suggestion Britain has rejected.
Lawmakers in Buenos Aires province passed a bill in August banning ships involved in business activities off the Falkland Islands from mooring at its ports, part of Argentina's drive to discourage oil exploration in the area.
Argentina had already banned ships flying the Falklands flag from entering the country's ports. The regional Mercosur trade group backed the move.

Castro is a bit of a wet lettuce isn't she? She really doesn't convey anything ambassadorial at all.... playing !hard to find” ans obviously hiding from invitations is kinda dumb, to say the least.
Unless she deliberately wants to hike the attention she gets, of course....
bit of a drama-queen like her boss in fact. ;-0
Meanwhile, the Falklanders will press on, growing their economy, diversifying their income streams and carry on regardless.
Good luck Falklanders, may you enjoy the fruits of your labours which you richly deserve. The ignorance coming from the capital city of your near neighbour should bother you not.
Good luck TMBOA, may you be overthrown, have ''your'' assets stripped from you, and left to languish in Venezuala, acting as Hugo's Courtesan. Just don't drag Argentina down to the level of where your nipples would be without the plastic surgery.
Only one country is attempting to colonise, harrass, intimidate, steal, disobeys international law, ignore it's debt obligation..etc etc....
The Argentine Govt. are indeed outlaws and pirates, end of.
Castro is uncouth.
I am so pleased that this arrogant woman has, at least, been made to respect diplomatic niceties and has been made obliged to face the displeasure of the British people.
- More worthless threats that we know you can't backup with action. It's irrelevant anyway since we know anyone who tried such a thing would meet the might of the Royal Navy and have a rapid death.
Anyway back to the subject, maybe its time the UK removed Castro from her position and insisted Argentina sends someone who is competent.
Please provide is with your name and address and any other contact information so that we can get ahold of you for the materials needed.
Do you have any useful weapons in your possession?
“I offer 1000 $ reward to anyone willing to sink any pirate ships around Islas Malvinas”
Why don't you send your money to NML tohelp get the Libertard back?
Then you could launch it towards the Falkland Islands and send another ship to pick up the survivors after the Falkland Islands Defence Force sinks it?
Enough said....only summon busy people when you decide to obey international law and United Nations Resolutions.
If you dont like it please Mr Hague kick off her......please do it.
He is completely harmless but I think he fails to understand his comments could be taken seriously and get him in hot water. He is no terrorist threat.
Wasting her time? What did she have planned? Shopping?
“Alicia likes to dress up seemingly. This time she got a dressing down for unladylike behaviour”
Yes, she seems to like posing for 'glam' shots.
She's out of her depth with the FO.
No amount of pillow-fluffing is going to get her out of this one.
In the end, just another bitchy stewardess!
Well, that explains the morality of Mercopress, and of the anti-argies.
Personally, I don't think we should kick her out. I think we should appoint to Argentina an ambassador of similar calibre. Mr Bean, perhaps. Or a Gumby. With an ASBO. Someone at least who'd feel at home in the local circles of government and diplomacy.
Always trying to paint yourself the victim.
And you are free to be an utter moron aren't yo?
I don't like to report posts. HOWEVER, I have on occasion reported a few and guess what?? NOTHING HAPPENS.
I'm talking about things like accusing me of sexually abusing young children, repeatedly. I reported those... they stayed.
Mercopress is completely biased, just accept it and move on. And btw, I'm fine with that, I want all voices to be heard online. That does not mean I can't call the cat black if it's black.
On your way now.

“ I think we should appoint to Argentina an ambassador of similar calibre. Mr Bean, perhaps...”
Welll....you appoint this smart individual to your very only one “friend” country in the comple LatAm......
....what Argentina could expect worse than that ?
Ok, Im starting to worry.

Now that they are no longer a major military threat in the world, they don't know how to operate “diplomatically”, which is why they are increasingly getting into trouble in many parts of the world.
Interesting to remark...
“ Now that they are no longer a major military threat in the world....”
Threat......
How is possible a major and main member of Security Council with veto power is seen by the complete world as a threat ???
They dont obey reolutions, they dont respect international law, they kill hundred of thousand inocents civilians, kids, women, etc in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lybia just the last few years........and still lecture others ?.
This a crazy world......UN SC indeed need a drastic change ASAP and kick out this evil people of such high responsabilities they dont stand for.
I said “major”. They can still cause bane and iniquity in specific theaters, but they are no longer a global menace, no European country is. But they still pursue diplomacy as if they were... it is a natural disconnect that happens to all declining powers.
The point was, that Europeans always laud, and preen, their diplomatic “skills”. There were no such skills.
I could also claim to have deft skills in this area, when holding a gun to your head and you being disarmed.

LIAR .
Your post was removed for inciting violence against vessels and personnel in the waters of the Falklands.
I recall you offered $1,000 payment and any equipment required for an attack.
Good judgement of the editors to have such a hateful appeal against civilians removed from the thread.
Hateful hypocrit.

I wonder how the Argentine Government would react if the British Ambassador in Buenos Aires were to behave in this way?
And spouting hate against the British whilst living in a commonwealth country and then calling others retarded by making the argument based on some fantasy country that doesn't exist. Logical........
And if that wasn't bad enough he bases an argument on these fantasy islands the world doesn't recognize and are under the jurisdiction of the British for defence.
Could this be anymore bizarre?
If you had the sense that you were born with you would have come at the first invitation where I am sure we would have offered you tea and scones and we would have had a nice little chat about what what happened. But no you had to play hard ball so that's why we officially summoned you to give a good bollocking that has now gone out to the world news press agency's so that the whole world again knows what a small minded country that you come from is. And it once again shows to the world that Britain is right about your country. Now f*** of back to your embassy that we so gracelessly let you have in London and ponder on the words that were whispered in your ear lugs, namely don't f*** with the big boys or you might get hurt.
I don't recall our Benny getting summoned into the Foreign Ministry in Argentina. Of course maybe that's because he's actually the Ambassador to Chile.
But curiouser and curiouser, despite having offended Argentina, he doesn't seem to have been summoned into the Foreign Ministry in Chile either.
I wonder why that is?
Why digress, well the child will be 3rd in line to the throne, that means in about 50 too 60 years time the Falkland Islanders will, if they still choose to, have a new soveriegn. Good news hey!
LOLs
Pity that some choose to live by the sword. Argentina is slowley strangling the whole of South America and one day we are going to see a virtual repeat of the 1982 happen all over again. Way back then Argentina was in serious economic turmoil and to try and win her people over attacke the Falklands. Up till then most of the Latin American neighbours supported Argentina untill she invaded the Islands and realised that it was not going to save the leader ship they decided to reject the whinging Argies. Now they are all doing it again. Why the hell does all these Countries fall for the same stupid trap. Do they not realise that they too will one day suffer as well from the rest of the world. Argentina has went one step to far this time because they are interefering with international tourists and I am willing to bet that it will not be to long before these operators firmly tell Argentina whereto go.
You watch, the next thing they will require is for any ship entering the South Atlantic, to obtain prior clearance from them first!
I can only assume it is a difference in culture and perceptions as I doubt very much that Argentines comprehend how badly she comes across outside of South America.
She's an embarrassment so leave her to it.
Anyway she's fairly good comedy material , isn't she?
but as an alternative, we should at the very least bann the argies ships, from british soil.
What I was trying to say before I slipped was that @61 is correct. It doesn't matter how coquettishly she sits on her sofa, she's fundamentally a dreadful diplomat, and diplomacy is the only way that Argentina is going to get anywhere in this world. So with her sat there clogging up the pipes, nothing Argentina has to say is going to get acknowledged.
The most she seems to do is generate news stories for Mercopress readers to laugh at, because she rarely gets any screen-time on any other outlet.
“David Cameron”, what a beautiful pseudonym! All Englishmen are so sucks socks or sucks worse ...?
Because the UK is a disreputable government who is seen as a buffoon on the world stage, so no one is suprised the UK gov insults other countries, they do this as a matter of course. If one had to summon diplomats everytime the UK showed disdain and derision for another nation and culture, they migtht as well move all UK diplomats to the presidencial palace of the country in question.
@67
Nothing to do with a mouse or elephant. Read above.
The UK has NEVER respected the “other side's” opinion. It's always been you think like we think, to do as we demand (not as we do), or the highway. Name one time the UK has agreed with the “other side” and accepted their view.
You can't. And that's why no one takes the UK government and their claims of moral superiority seriously (except for you gullible Muppets).
@69 You're just an apologist to the upcoming totalitarian regime that is being built on the back of terrorists such as La Campora and their Fourth Reich. Why would anyone consider the opinion of such a body? We all know what they expect, subjugation of the masses to Uncle Adolf's political ideology and significant growth through acquisition of other people's territory. Major assets and your economy are now governed by members of the Fourth Reich Comittee who have basically done little more than cause ruination. Then they stole your foreign reserves.
We should sit and listen to these people's opinions? Are you having a breakdown of some kind?
You don't listen to anyone, democratic or not. Notice you did not neither deny what I said nor showed any example.
The UK has no tolerance for other nations and their views. They even reject the Germans and the French if they don't cow 100% to the British position. The concept of compromise does not exist in your culture and because you have had military back-up the last 200 years you haven't needed it. But that era is over Empire Britain is bye-bye yet you still behave diplomatically as such... you are starting to pay for that.
@19 “He is no terrorist threat.” He isn't? Are you sure? But I already paid!
@20 But he isn't a man!
@24 Well, you know, we are aware that argieland is stupid enough to try it. Fortunately, the captains of Royal Navy ICBM submarines are sane, sensible men. I think. You never can tell until afterwards. Just THINK, 16 nuclear missiles with a total of 160 nuclear warheads, all headed for argieland. Could it be today? Tomorrow? Next week? A pressie for Christmas? You never know what might set someone off. Probably best for all argies to say nothing about the Falklands and stay at least 300 miles away.
@29 Signed it. But I see there are a number of petitions seeking action against argieland and mercosur. Everybody should sign all of them.
@33 So? MercoPress isn't “the law”. And argies always break laws anyway!
@35 Absolutely essential to be able to “punish” animals. Animals = argies. And venezuelans. And bolivians. And ecuadorians.
@36 UNSC 1363, 1378, 1383 and 1386. UNSC 1973. Try again. Or watch for the UNSC resolution on arieland.
@37 Finger's on the trigger. And feeling itchy!
@39 Or, alternatively, let's destroy argieland. Who would miss it?
@44 But, alex, you have been adjudged to be a terrorist “organisation”. The “War on Terror” is still ongoing. And you are on the list. Is there a “person” looking for you?
@50 “if I am hiding in Canada this must mean brits hide in Islas malvinas”. Where? Doesn't exist. Brits don't hide. They are on the Falkland Islands. Making more money than an argie could dream of. And evermore will be so!
@59 Look on the bright side. If you live by the sword, you die by the sword. And so argieland WILL die.
@62 Well, Simon, we don't really appreciate histrionic tantrums by over-age tarts here in Britain. I think she should fly back to argieland. Mind you, she doesn't have to get there. Got any “friends”?
@71 Why would we listen to a tosser like you? But here's a tip. STFU and FO. Then we won't talk to you!
If the offices of a shipping company are attacked by the militant wing of a terrorist organisation that is inextricably linked to the president of Argentina, and run by her son, what do you expect the British Government to do? Give us an example?
The commonly used phrase is, 'we don't negotiate with terrorists'; so why should this situation be any different?
Well, but you do you have an embassy and all.
Besides, no one accepts your account of the story outside Mercopress and the Foreign office. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
www.policymic.com/articles/10874/why-argentina-president-cristina-fernandez-de-kirchner-has-failed-at-handling-the-falklands#
My issue here is that it's okay for you to not want to believe that a totalitarian regime isn't being built under your nose, but that you seem to think we shouldn't be able to see it happening.
Brown Shirts - Tick.
Rule by Decree - Tick
Hitler Youth School Program - Tick
Discussion of KFC being in power whilst not being president - Tick
Ruling committee of La campora, international terrorists - Tick
La Campora being in control of key government and business positions - Tick
Now I'm no sherlock holmes, but I can still see the hallmarks of a totalitarian regime being constructed.
So I ask again, what should the UK government have done?
Snooze.
Do people in the rest of the world have any imagination? Whether a Chicago paper, the FT, a mexican write, a Brazilian magazine, a Spanish editorial, or a German analyist... they all repeat the same old hackneyed tale about how Argentina should be a world economy power, and military leader in the region and blah blah, and prosperous like Canada or Australia.
Same old boring...
Just read it, good analysis I thought.
'we should have deported her,'
I don't think she can be easily deported.
This would surely be a Human Rights issue.
There would be 'a risk to her life' if she were returned to Argentina, (...“Off with her head!!!”),
and would any other country want her.
I think not.
I think she should be taken to the immediate vicinity of the Ecuadorian Embassy ... and then be told that “Your life might be in danger.... Run!”
OK, she was summoned to attend a FO meeting
... but did she attend?
..... if she turned up, was she given a 'telling off' ?
.... if she failed to turn up, should she be deported
.... back to para. 1.
Yesterday I read : “...islanders want to be governed by London....ejem, ejem”
(Like in reuters note: www.uk.reuters.com/article/2012/12/03/uk-britain-argentina-falklands-idUKBRE8B217V201203 or google)
And today, correction: “islanders want to continue to remain a LARGELY and AUTONOMOUS BOT” . Better saying for the same. Ejem, ejem.
Oh, I stand in awe of your well thought out argument....not!!!!
lets just see shall we......
“they don't know how to operate “diplomatically”, which is why they are increasingly getting into trouble in many parts of the world”
In 1982, Sir Anthony Parsons ( Britain's ambassador to the UN ) pulled off what even the American's called “A stunning display of diplomatic professionism”
and
”Even Mrs KirkPatrick ( The American ambassador ), who could ill conceal her pro-Argentine sympathies, later used the the incident to compare British diplomacy with American “amateurism””
That got Resolution 502 passed through the security council WITHIN 48 HOURS with a two thirds majority.
And AGAIN at 37!!!!!
“I could also claim to have deft skills in this area, when holding a gun to your head and you being disarmed.”
It's getting very hard to underestimate you!!!!!
I take then that you have not heard of the old saying ( African in origin ) which states:-
“Talk softly and carry a big stick”
which, by the way, the American's have inscribed on the inside of their Nuclear powered aircraft carrier the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
So really you've just f**ked yourself ( AGAIN ) in public
THEN you say that ElaineB is free to be a moron. I would invite you to remember that everyone is free to be a moron, but that you are abusing the priviledge
Thanks,
But would Ecuador take her,
They already have one pigeon in the hole lol.

its like talking to many brick walls,
and getting the wailing noises.
You will, of course, note that Nostrolldamus The 2nd / Tito the Clown Troll is using “Projection” in his rants at 35, 37, 69 and 71??
If you merely substitute the word “UK” with the word “Argentina” and the frustration and anger towards his own country is glaringly obvious.
It's the same tactic that playground bullies use to make themselves feel better with there own rancid / septic / miserable lives. They target the one who is better than them acidemically / socially and then they “Project” all of their short comings onto that target in the hope of being seen in a more favourable light.
In this case, as we all know, the UK is leaps and bounds ahead of Argentina and so of course they ( and their trolls ) are going to blame us for everything that is their own fault.
Once you know this, and learn how to read the signs then every outburst, every post that critises the UK is telling you more about the frustrations of the poster rather than being an attack on Great Britian.
he never was that bright,
we wonder why he hates himself so much,
perhaps he bit his own tounge.lol.
They'll do this of their own accord, with no one else's help.
Argentina has a record of defending self-determination before the UN. According to a 2010 UN release, Argentine Senator Rubén Giustiniani called for self-determination of Puerto Rico, stating that “Argentina deemed Puerto Rico’s cause to be its own and reaffirmed the calls for recognition of its right to self-determination
The UK has the choice to break diplomatic relations if “things” are so bad,,,,
Again and again... and UK powerless...
No carriers
No money
No jobs
No industries
No F35B
No army
No hope
No ships going to FI

Prince William attended the funeral of his sister and in attendance were some Nazi officers, he was also 16 and this was 2 years prior to the war.
And this is the very same man that fought against the Nazi's in the war.
But hey lets not let the actual truth get in the way of your bizarre distortions eh?
Just for new readers dany has had his previous account banned for extreme views and has previously declared Spain will fight against the British which rather unsurprising hasn't happened and will not happen. And if that wasn't bad enough thinks the UK is powerless and Argentina is a powerful nation.
Interesting views on the world eh......
Banned account for extreme views...? where? Lying again...
I recommend you to dig deeper into UK’s history instead to make fairy tales posts from your imaginary fantasyland.

Mohamed Fayed calls Prince Philip a Nazi racist
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1578993/Mohamed-Fayed-calls-Prince-Philip-a-Nazi.html
“Of the Duke of Edinburgh, Mr Fayed said: “He would not accept my son, anyone who is a person of different religion, naturally tanned, curly hair, they will not accept that he will have anything to do with the future King.
”Prince Philip rules the country behind the scenes. I think Prince Philip is the actual head of the Royal Family. He is a racist. He was brought up by his aunt who married one of Hitler's generals.”
@andy65
Why I should comment about that?
Unfortunately for you I do know about the Royal Family's history but what is different is I don't distort it to suit some bizarre belief like you do.
As for Mohamed Fayed, you really couldn't of picked a worse person to quote. This is the person who has been involved in many high profile scandals over the years. Where I am different from you is I didn't have to use google to find someone saying something negative and then post in the misguided belief this is someone with a valued opinion.
Muppet.
You are lying mate, I have never been banned and you?.

BTW how bad is to travel using the tube in London on these days have anyone noted that?
Seems the Argies trains of the Sarmiento line but without glam.
It's probably best you don't mention trains given your countries track record (excuse the obvious pun)
My dad always told me, don't argue with a idiot because the only way you can win is by equaling their idiocy!
And since when serving in RN is a proof of to be an English man idiot?
In the RN there are people born in Somalia, Nepal, etc, etc.
And WTF were you taught in the RN?
“It's irrelevant anyway since we know anyone who tried such a thing would meet the might of the Royal Navy and have a rapid death.”
Ha ha
Ask admiral John West about how sad is to see sinking RN ships in the cold waters by the Argies.
Mohammed you are a big mouth without teeth at the moment. No carriers and jets to have air cover and you are bloody f@cked.
Living in the past again? AG sank some ships during the Falklands conflict BUT lost big-time to a smaller but much superior force from 8,000 miles away. You just cannot get past that can you.
And now you have got it wrong AGAIN! Why would we need carriers? The Typhoon can fly, fully armed with their kill outside visible distance missiles for 1,830 miles AND there is an airstrip on the islands. AND don’t forget the Type 45’s. How are you going to disable the airstrip with just ONE of these ships nearby? Answer: NO chance.
But, you see, it won’t come to an armed conflict if only because you lot can’t fight your way out of a paper bag and your only hope, ‘Dead Man Walking’ Chavez won’t be with us much longer, ha, ha, ha.
BTW we now have two F35Bs for training our forces, with more coming in the New Year.
What do you argies have coming soon?

Judgement against you in favour of NML
Your flagship still in Ghana
The other old tub being extensively refitted after the self-induced fires in the engine room
Car production cesing when the IMF decision hits home
Being chucked out of the G20
EVEN MORE CIVIL UNREST
TMBOA having a final breakdown and ‘Leaving on an airplane’ to quote the song, OR it could be ‘My yellow taxi’.
But never forget the mythical 54% (of those who voted) have it coming. I feel sorry for the poor sods who did NOT vote for the cow.
I’m just so busy to answer BS from retarded...
This is not a love song...

Nice. You are a class act.
“No carriers and jets to have air cover”
There is an aircraft carrier called MPA.
Perhaps you would like to explain how your ancient museum style air force could put MPA out of action after your airfields have been destroyed by Tomahawks?
If MPA is taken out, you still have to get past ground to air missiles and that's only if NO RN ships are in the area.
I don't think the Brits are losing much sleep over a dying creature like CFKs Argentina that can talk the talk but cannot walk the walk.
If MPA is wiped out, that means you can't land any transport or military aircraft and it would take no more than a few days for our subs to send all of your Navy (the ships that are not broken down or impounded in foreign ports that is) on a one way ticket to say hello to the Belgrano.
