Aug 04th, 2010 - 12:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0President Jose Mujica surrendered our sovereignty w/out contest. Argentina is posting their flag and replacing the Uruguayan. Finally we’re part of the Cabildo of Buenos Aires, like in the old days of the colonies. The Frente Amplio and his tupamaro president decided that negotiations are easier that way…why bother?

Several reasons explain the satisfaction that you/they evidenced yesterday presidents Cristina Kirchner and Lula he/she gives Silva. Perhaps the most important, for their impact in the protection of the tempting own natural resources, was the new declaration Malvinas it has more than enough.
“It is not a more ones” the President underlined what supposed to take a short cut I/you/he/she could be the thought of the journalists, accustomed to the eternal reissue of this pronouncement. Yesterday there was in fact something very different: for the first time Brazil subscribed an official statement that he/she not only mentions to the Malvinas. It includes inside the sovereignty the Islas Georgias and Sandwich of the South as well as the continental platform of Argentina.
Certainly, for CK it was a new diplomatic victory.
And he/she has their base in the economic importance that he/she acquired the national recovery on the archipelagos of the South Atlantic after the Britons began to extract raw of the surrounding area. What was an access door to the Antártida became of good to first an invaluable source of petroleum. The existence of a foreign power that exploits the resources off shore in the containing today's more southern area enervates to the countries of the coast oceanic owners of enormous quantities of fuel inside the marine territory that belongs them, like it is the case of Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
Brazil possesses in its Atlantic coast the biggest reservations of raw of the country, a discovery that of not more than five year, and at some time you ended up showing off that those wealth are prolonged for the Uruguayan coast and possibly the Argentinean (something that is not proven). For that reason, to include the Georgia and Sandwich contains, o

Aug 04th, 2010 - 01:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sorry, your post is too long and full of pro Latinamerica populist propaganda. You’re to me a foreign power. The Falkland Islands are home to the islanders and they have the right to do with their land as they please. Your populist charade of calling them English colony doesn’t stick w/me.
Liberty: it is she comprehensible their opinion, because you should live in the islands and he/she lived in the culture and English mentality, not all that doesn't understand is populist charade neither neither English charade, he/she should understand other points of the view and to listen other opinions, nobody has the absolute truth. It cannot condemn for the the single fact of to think and to say different. But there of everything he/she should understand that good part of the world, all Latin America and in particular the Argentinean town some reason should have to maintain its I claim of sovereignty on the Islas Malvinas. Not the whole truth has it you. One sees that he/she understands this he/she will understand that not everything is charade neither populism and it is in fact a legitimate one I claim of a long injustice and that he/she will never forget. Thank you.

Aug 04th, 2010 - 05:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The argument of who has the rights to the Falklands it’s not going to stop the islanders from allowing, like you call it a “foreign power, England”, to drill for oil or else. Argentina and its allies can keep whining at the OAS and the UN the old claim that started circa 1833. Continuous pursuit of the Falklands by peaceful means will last eternally. Only military force will decide the outcome. Do you think that Argentina and its allies are ready for another round against the British?
Thank you
Not yet Liberty; but clock is running in favour of developing south american nations.

Aug 04th, 2010 - 05:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, if “developing Southamerican nations” have the will to start a 3er WW it will happen. Observing at the populist leaders of South America it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Liberty: he/she doesn't take it to bad, overcome the resentment, learn how to forgive and to be forgiven, the humanity doesn't advance with the military force squashing skulls. Not all that is English is bad, possen valuable organizations as the I exercise of salvation, International amnesty or Juan Lennon that fought for a better world without weapons neither dead, the internal opinion of the United Kingdom goes changing as that of Latin America. Have opening. The justice will prevail, about the military force. Remember to Luther King, Osmond tutu, Mahatma Ghandi, etc. Remember that some day it will be judged by their acts the same as us. The hate takes to the self-destruction, think in big. Thank you.
Aug 04th, 2010 - 07:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0to Liberty: the problem is (for “El Pais”) that Mujica accepted argentine's fixing internal taxes over pricing export's of that country.
Aug 04th, 2010 - 07:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thus, makes influence over uruguayan commerce of the same products in argentinas market, because internal prices uruguayan goods achieve in argentina are more expensive that national ones...
that's the reason to get angry Diario El Pais (in the oposition on Mujica's government)

Aug 04th, 2010 - 09:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I’m a male 61 years old, Uruguayan born but lived my life since 19 in a great country, USA. Now I live in Salto, Uruguay since 2004. I fought in Nam against the “gooks” because it was my duty and my contract with the US, then it was a draft for all legal aliens. Peace is the best but not always, I’m a peace loving person but for sure I’m not a pacifist, like Neville Chamberlain, I admire FDR and Sir W. Churchill. I’m totally against of this charade, joke, whatever of “Malvinas Argentinas”. The Falklands are for the islanders which they don’t want to be argentinians but they want to be English.
El Pais is a newspaper that sells news to whom pays best…do you get the point?.. For the last 5 years the Frente Amplio, a populist leftish government is ruling this poor, ignorant country. Jose Mujica is a senile 75 years old “clown” that has no clue of what he’s doing, he is 2 steps away form taking a s****anyway. He just surrendered the ultimate: URUGUAYAN SOVEREIGNTY to a foreign country,Argentina, it doesn’t matter if they speak Spanish or English, to me he’s a TRAITOR !!
Tank you.
I tell you what I “Think” you are....
Aug 05th, 2010 - 09:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are a pensioned American Citizen (not Uruguayan at all. You don’t speak Spanish and NO person in this world forgets his mother tongue if he had lived, as you declare, the first 19 years of his life in that country)
You are another one of those 85% pensioned American Ex-Pats that “Think” they can live like Kings in South America from their Yank pensions and end hating us when they can’t.
You are desperate and angry because the value of the dollar has gone down nearly 40% during the last months, making your Yank pension even smaller.
You are so un-adapted and brain-dead that at an age of only 61, you could not dream to go out and take a proper job.
You are another one of those Yanks in Lat-Am that love to tell lies about your past when as a matter of fact you never left your Kansas farm.
That’s what I “Think” you are..... or at least, that is what you have showed us to be.......
Yankie go Home
I do not know much about this, other than if you think Liberty is living on a “fat” pension, it cannot be too fat, as full retirement age in the U.S. is at 65 years of age, so at 61, is Liberty receiving a fat pension?

I Know it.........:-)
As for Liberty.... I Think he could be defined as a “Delusional Free-Lance Wannabe”.......
I got it! Twinky is a conspiracy theorist!
Aug 06th, 2010 - 10:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0And we all know how much attention to pay to such loons, don't we?
Twinky is a little envious socialist pixie,got bugger all and wants to share it with everyone
Aug 07th, 2010 - 08:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0Note that the recently-announced increase in the Argentine minimum wage brings it up to £1.75 per hour. Compared to £5.80 per hour in the vastly richer UK.

Aug 08th, 2010 - 06:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Twinky and his populist buddies are part of the false Latin heritage. South America will never come out of the 'caves' till the Aliens work in their genes. We’ll never get along. Look at Argentina suing Uruguay over a paper mill, blockading international bridges. They’ve the nerve to call us “brothers” while they stabbed us in the back. They get together at these Mercosur & Unasur meetings to squabble and gossip. They’ve been doing that since the time of the colonies.
----“Till the Aliens work in their genes”----
Aug 08th, 2010 - 06:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Excuse me???
Did he write: “Till the Aliens work in their genes”
This guy is getting more and more wacko!!!
I think that by “Aliens” Liberty means things that are so outside of human norms that they don't qualify as “human beings”.
Aug 09th, 2010 - 08:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Based on “aver FULL OF GAS”, “gorge”, “Billy I'M IN A HAZE”, “axel FOLLOWED BY THE NOISE MADE WHEN VOMITING” and “Twinky” the IMMIGRANT and similar, it is impossible not to accept his judgement.
The Mercosur summit
Aug 09th, 2010 - 11:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Brazilian leader who underlined he’s the most “senior” member of these summits [this really says it all] [and who is the BOSS]
it looks like you south Americans could be heading towards a common market, or European union, perhaps brazil wants a united states of south America, with brazil at its head, a powerful block indeed ,
but where does that leave Argentina, just a pawn in someone else’s game perhaps ??

Aug 10th, 2010 - 05:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0ó porque dije alguna realidad que molestó? Sería bueno que repartieras tu justicia por igual.
Latinoamérica está más unida que nunca, en Argentina ni en ningún otro país de la región estamos interesados en tolerar las constantes calumnias de los piratas invasores, ni agresiones a nuestra cultura.
Así que mejor vayan aprendiendo español, porque no queremos colonias europeas en nuestro territorio.

Mercosur. That would be a partnership with 2 BIG partners and 2 little partners. Guess who calls the shots?
Aug 10th, 2010 - 07:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0?I did not realise that a simple comment would attract a nasty response from the argies, did I touch a raw nerve, or are they up set at all this harassment against the Falklanders and British, they have been doing, and the Brazilians then sneak in the back door, but hey, there your friends buddies, mates allies
