What do you expect, they are only protesting and the legal authoties are not taking any notice. They don't have to, the protesters do not have the law on their side.

Just like the Falklands (there are no Malvinas) the Argies 'protest' by whining and crying but with no legal cause or authority over the FI. No difference really.

Get the legal authority (if you have evidence - which you do not, only fantasies dreamt up by Peronistas) by going to the ICJ and getting them to rule in your favour.

CLUE: No evidence - no hope. But Argentina knows that, otherwise it would be there now.

It is 'politically correct' to make this award to 'Protesters' (bland, low-key);

what would The People say if the award was made to squatters, 'rioters', arsonists, violent revolutionaries and dissidents? (and yet they are largely the same people).

Or perhaps the award is only awarded to the street-protesters that are pure in heart and gentle in action.
