Argentina’s president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner called on Monday for the end to the Falklands/Malvinas “colonial enclave”, as she forecasted from Venezuela, standing as a privileged guest next to Hugo Chavez, that Latinamerica is in the process of a “second independence”. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesThe Falkland Islands are not a colonial situation at all. It would be Argentina, if it tried to take the islands against the wishes of the people of the Falklands, who would be introducing a colonial situation. Argentina would not go to the ICJ over this as they know that they would lose. So to mention legal issues is an act of hipocrasy on the part of Argentinas president. The islands belong to the islanders and are not the UK's to give away nor Argentina's to take.
Apr 20th, 2010 - 06:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Kirshener the plastic president wrote “I’m convinced we are facing a second independence” and this means that the Malvinas islands will eventually return to their legitimate origin, Argentina supported by law, history, geography and the inalienable rights of the Argentine people.
Apr 20th, 2010 - 06:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh the irony!!!! When will Argentina eventually return to their legitimate origin - the indigenous peoples that were killed as their land was stolen!!! Damn hipocrasy on the part of a silly twit in charge of Argentina who knows nothing of the history of South America - or choses to forget it when it becomes inconvenient.
For someone who knows what Argentina was like under a military dictatorship CFK has a strange way of indicating her support for democratic principles. She appears to forget the fact that the Islanders are free to make their own democratic choices and she sunggles up to another dictator in military uniform.
Apr 20th, 2010 - 06:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What has she acomplished? The drilling continues and ships come and go unimpeded.
You make an interesting point there Beef. She sides with a lunatic dictator but that is but another indication as to just how feeble she knows Argentina's claim to the Falklands actually is. Perhaps she learnt a lot from the dictators of Argentina and thinks that she can apply what she learnt to the people of the Falklands. She will lose and will always lose. The Falkland Islands are not the UK's to give away nor Argentina's to take - they belong to the islanders themselves. Only a dictator would think otherwise.

You are a good laugh at times.
Today, The Hague said that Uruguay have violated the Uruguay River treaty with Argentina (of course Mercopress an independent and uruguayan media hasnt publish any article) , where is the punishment to this country??? which punish will have UK to stolen our South Atlantic islands since 1833???

Apr 20th, 2010 - 09:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK never stole your islands in 1833. Thing is - even if it were true, which it isn't, what difference would it make? After all the USA took land after 1833, Argentina stole land after 1833, France did, etc etc etc. It happened all the time back then. Will the USA give back land to Mexico? Will Argentina give back the land it took? Argentina is itself a country that was formed from land stolen from the indigenous people. If what Argentina says about 1833 were true, which history shows that it isn't, then what you are saying is that you want back land that you stole in the first place. But then this is all hypothetical as the Falklands were not Argentine in 1833 anyway.

The Falkland Islands have never been a part of Argentina ... historically, legally or indeed, in any other way. They are never likely to be as the UN would support independence, not a handover.

Apr 21st, 2010 - 01:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0THE HAGUE, 20 April 2010. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), principal judicial organ of the United Nations, today delivered its Judgment in the case concerning Pulp Mills on the River Uruguay (Argentina v. Uruguay).
In its Judgment, which is final, without appeal and binding on the Parties, the Court,
(1) finds, by thirteen votes to one, that the Eastern Republic of Uruguay has breached its procedural obligations under Articles 7 to 12 of the 1975 Statute of the River Uruguay and that the declaration by the Court of this breach constitutes appropriate satisfaction;
(2) finds, by eleven votes to three, that the Eastern Republic of Uruguay has not breached its substantive obligations under Articles 35, 36 and 41 of the 1975 Statute of the River Uruguay;
(3) rejects, unanimously, all other submissions by the Parties.
SO - a procedural fault but the mill isn't polluting as per the spurious claim by Argentina, and the mill can stay where it is an carry on operating. Some kind of win :-)
Oh Argentina, you are like a silly child. You may never know how stupid you look in the eyes of the world! When people need a laugh they probably google 'latest argie claims to the Falklands' otherwise they go on about life without a thought for your (in world terms) worthless country.
Apr 21st, 2010 - 06:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0How's the marriage appeal gdr?
Argentina is still a country with vast colonial ambitions as its attitude towards the Falkland Islands confirms. The only thing that Argentina has learnt from its genocidal colonial past is how to carry it on into the 21st Century. Argentina wants to end colonialism - fine. A good start would be for Argentina to drop its colonial claim to the Falklands. A claim that is spurious, not based upon the facts or history. I repeat - if Argentina is really being truthful about wanting to end colonialism let it put its money where its mouth is and stop trying to impose colonialism on the Falklands. QED
Apr 21st, 2010 - 10:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0One can only assume the economic situation is getting worse. It appears that you can easily gauge the true state of it by extrapolating from the number of words she wastes on the Falklands issue.

No problem :-)
Hoytred. the only reason Falklands are still an overseas territory is because they require British troops to defend themselves in case Argentina attacks.
Apr 22nd, 2010 - 08:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's funny, they claim to want to put an end to colony's. Yet they seek to make Falklands one, and in doing so stop the Falklands from becoming truly independent.
Then again, i don't think the Falklands islanders have much of a call for being independent, they seem content being an overseas territory. Argentina refuses to see this.

Argentina doesn't go to the ICJ because shes scared, scared that the ICJ will rule against her The historical foundations are shakey needless to say, they had to invent a whole new principle to compensate for Argentina embarrasing duration of ownership of the territory.

Why is the best we can do is have the Falklands become another province of Argentina?
The best we can do is keep things exactly as they are with the Falklands under British sovereignty as the islanders wish.
If Argentina want to stamp their feet, shake their fist, and rattle their sabres they can do so, and in the mean time the islanders will continue their very Birtish way of life on a very British island in the South Atlantic.

Sabes el significado de Usurpación?
Usurpador: La palabra usurpador es un término despectivo, y como tal no fácilmente definible, como la persona que tomó el poder normalmente tratan de legitimar su posición, mientras que denigrar la de su predecesor. En aras de esta lista, sin embargo, el término se define como cualquier persona que toma el poder la fuerza de un gobernante establecido, sin consideración a que la legitimidad del gobernante.
Ejemplos famosos son considerados usurpadores Enrique IV de Inglaterra , Miguel de Portugal y Habibullah Ghazi de Afganistán .
Usurper usurper The word is a derogatory term, and as such is not easily definable, as the person who took power usually try to legitimize their position, while denigrating that of his predecessor. For the sake of this list, however, the term is defined as any person who takes over the power of a ruler in place, without regard to the legitimacy of the ruler.
Famous examples are considered usurpers Henry IV of England, Miguel of Portugal and Habibullah Ghazi of Afghanistan.

Apr 24th, 2010 - 07:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Firstly - as you have been asked before and as Mercopress as also - can you post in English please.
Secondly - the FACTS are that it was Argentina that attempted to usurp the islands from the UK. Sorry to burst your bubble but what you have been taught is WRONG. And history shows that to be the case. In 1833 Britain conducted a police action to take back that which Argentina, well the United Provinces, tried to steal from her. And even if the story was as you have implied, which it isn't, it still wouldn't matter as Argentina, along with other countries at that time, also took land from others. But it didn't happen as Argentina tries to claim - even in the face of all the evidence. All we ever get is a repeat of the same lies. Nothing else. And we also seem to have evidence of a very selective memory from Argentina. Remember - that which YOU accuse us of doing you did yourself to create Argentina. So STOP trying to claim the moral high ground. It doesn't wash.
Now you can laugh as much as you want BUT it is the UN that has given the right of self determination to the people of the Falklands. You do support the UN don't you?

Who is this person you keep refering to and why do you think that it is me?
Roberts, www.Mapuche-nation.org is a farce, surely a group formed by some mapuche head and behind English with political interests.
Apr 26th, 2010 - 11:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0In Patagonia, Argentina have nothing to claim the Mapuche. The Mapuche were responsible for the extermination of the tehuelches, which were authentic Aboriginal people of Northern Patagonia Argentina 1830-1880.

Apr 26th, 2010 - 12:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is a pattern to them. They cannot take anyone showing that there is another side to the story. But this is a symptom of their ailment - you see they have been so indoctrinated that they become fearful if anything challenges that which they have been brainwashed into believing. Rather than look at the counter argument they choose to ignore/dismiss/deny it. Their world would fall apart if they actually opened themselves up to an alternative viewpoint. I pity them...
The story of his greed takes them to suspicions in everything.
Apr 26th, 2010 - 12:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Question:
Because there are British in a mapuche organization.
You make me laugh Horacio. Many times in this forum have we seen Argentines trying to prove what bloodthirsty imperialists the British are by pointing to the Australian Aboriginals example.
Apr 26th, 2010 - 01:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Amusingly, this Mapuche Nation organisation, which you think is a farce, joins with Australian Aboriginals amongst others to form the UNPO. http://www.unpo.org/ How amusingly ironic...
Horacio, you should think a bit before putting your fingers to the keyboard, because when you come out with stuff like you did above in comment #79, you just make yourself look stupid and ignorant and you show a breathtaking ignorance of your own country's history.
Roberts, I well know the history of my country. Not the story invented for the convenience of some.

The British have the truth of everything?
Apr 26th, 2010 - 04:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How much wisdom.....
Well Horacio, then perhaps you could stop making assertions you can't back up. For example that the Mapuche Nation organisation is a farce headed by a Mapuche and backed by the British. You have absolutely no evidence to back that up, in fact there is a mountain of evidence to the contrary. When someone writes stuff like that, they do nothing but invite ridicule, which is exactly what you got!
Apr 26th, 2010 - 04:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Once again, I encourage you to think before you type, because you only end up insulting your own intelligence if you write comments like #79, and not only that, you insult thousands and thousands of indigenous people who died in Argentine massacres and continue to suffer today...
Based on the items in the article, Mrs Kirchner appears to be a crook. Does this say anything about the country(?) she presides over?
Apr 26th, 2010 - 10:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The interesting thing on www.mapuche-nation.org is that it is full of critism against Chile, not Argentina.

Also,
..........On the 11th of May 1996 a group of Mapuches and Europeans concerned???” with the fate of the indigenous peoples and nations of the Americas, and in particular with the Mapuche people of Chile and Argentina , launched the Mapuche International Link (MIL) in BRISTOL, UK.”............
- mmmmmm...........I don't know if Horacio is right, but I wouldn't say he is wrong, at least one could be suspicious.
The site didn't mention the genocide against Tehuelches made by Mapuches when they came to this side of the mountain range. Everyone knows they came from Chile killing the indigenous on this side.
Anyway that is not justification to do what Roca did. The truth be told!

Apr 27th, 2010 - 09:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0”Will UK have for ever veto power??? - NO (LOL)”
Erm, yes. As part of the security council the United kingdom will always have Veto powers. New members of the security council will not receive a veto. It is something reserved for the current and founding members of the UN, a price paid in blood i believe(ww2).
”Will UK get out of its debt and deficit crisis? - NO (LMFAO)”
The UK has been in debt before, i don't even think this is our highest debt we've ever obtained. If thats your plan on getting back the islands it's flawed.
You will not have veto power for ever when you and USA are loosing power on international issues. Besides other veto power countries like Russia, France and China agree to the incorporation of Brazil among others to the security council as a permanent member and remove the veto power. You are playing with fire, If UN doesn't change that, it will lose power and credibility.
Apr 28th, 2010 - 05:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Everyone thought G-8 was going to be always the club which manage world's economy, now is dead!!!! China, Brazil and India are growing and will be more powerful than you. That's why today's most important meeting is G-20, not G-8 anymore.

Apr 28th, 2010 - 09:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have no real concerns with the security council being enlarged - but if you REALLY think that Russia and China would, given their own problems, give up the power of veto you are being somewhat gullible. Oh but I forgot who it was I was talking to.....;-)

Oh dear Jihad Jorge Rios squawking again!
Apr 29th, 2010 - 08:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0The whole reason the security council was created was so as to prevent idiot countries like Argentina, Venezuela, Iran and Iraq from putting their opinion's into actions and doing something daft and we shall keep it that way, some countries sadly have not reached a level of development and maturity which enables them to function in a manner that would be beneficial to the world.
I suppose they are comparable these countries, to 16 year olds wanting the vote have all the normal rights and respect as others, however still not mature enough to think in a rational manner, Argentina is certainly one of these countries, screeches and squawks and knocks it's food bowl over when looking at the falklands, is this the action of a mature country worthy of such power, I think not.....cheer up old Chap Jorge, I am sure when you lose the 2nd and 3rd Falklands war you might get the point.
As for us going the way of Yugoslavia, I didn't know the UK was an artificially created slavic country by the great powers after world war 1 as a buffer to Turkish and Austrian hegemony that already had a long history of inter ethnic violence?
As for Argentina, perhaps you might go the way of the US in the 1860's? The central govt becomes too autocratic and botches up the job so much financially that the economic weaker and less populated provinces see seccession as the only means to ensure their future?
It's happening Jorge like with everywhere Patatgonia and Tierra del Fuego have been maligned and ignored by BA for too long, think about Jorge you lot don't matter to BA, your support is taken for granted and you are nothing but a large milking cow for Buenos Aires.
As usual christine wrote nothing of importance.

Apr 29th, 2010 - 10:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wrong. Very wrong. I don't see how the USA is loosing power currently they spend almost as much on defense as the rest of the world does(47% i believe).
And no, France china and Russia are NOT in any way considering the removal of the veto power. All the country's on the security council do want to enlarge it. But all five country's would make it very to remove the veto. New members of the security council will not likely get a veto.
