    Thank you Mr.Sepulveda... The real governor of the islands Fabiana Rios told in the Legislative the total support to Chile from Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica & South Atlantic Islands (included Malvinas) & to the chilean community in our territory.

    nitro and others- how sick can you get trying to play politics with the death of near 800 and the devastation and ruin to many thousands now homeless and left with nothing. Nitro - for pity sake - get your facts right for once - USA,Spain,France etc and Chile and Uruguay and many others ALL recognise us as a country and with a government(some of them may well give you a vote at the UN - but they actually recognise that we are here and there is a current Govt - with whom they all deal and recognise as the current Government.
    As afar as I am aware there is only one nation that refuses to recognise that we are actually here and exist - that is the Argentine one.
    Spainish companies with the backing of their Govt are investors here and hold many longterm fishing licenses with their local partners.
    China sometimes obtains fishing licences as does Chile - from the Falkland Islands Govt.

    Nitro:

    You don't need to be a state to send heart felt condolences you moron...

    And this was from the democratically elected govt of the Falklands not the Guvn'or.

    and anyway how can the Govenor of Tierra del Fuego be the Govenor of territroy which:
    1. Has never democratically given her a mandate.
    2. doesn't have a permenent population (South Georgia, Sandwhich Isles, Antartica)
    3. Which you haven't been able to apply effective control over since 1827.

    I love NitroJohn, he is so full of incredible bull that I love come and read his babble and have a laugh at how dumb he and a few of his mates like George are. Just a shame he has to bring sad pathetic politics into something as heartfelt as a message of support for a country(Chile) who is friendly with the Falklands.

    Didn't Chile have a consulate on the Falkland Islands at one time? A sure recognition of its status, no?

    hey! thank you Nitro fan,,,, I keep you informated: i was dumb cause i was traveling.. Now i am in B.A. visiting family, friends... on sunday i ll fly to Rio Gallegos and then maybe a week before Mt.Pleasant....and return to Ushuaia... I am respectful about the message of support of the islanders, as i am respectful of the message of all the Argentinian governor (Mendoza, San Juan,etc) this states/provinces have representatives in B.A. ,too. The comments from the cheep nationalism are irrelevant (they have first to stady the difference about: state/territory/nation/objets from the international law) it is simple.
