    Don't be a submissive Pepe, just do what's best for your country. Talk to the Uruguayans and ask them what they want you to do, but stop kissing her fetid b*ttcrack please! It's stinky and we smell it everyday! Help us!

    I think Pepe has things pretty spot on. Its a balancing act. He also has to keep the lower classes happy in Uruguay with much ceremony but make sure the cash cow Punta del Este is protected at all costs.

    Pepe Mujica as a lot of other countries in the world won´t help a countries (UK) which steal territories and resources (oil, fish, among others) of South America. It's stinky that a country (UK) has imposed its invalid arguments to steal territories,only using its military force and its economical power to “convince” some “friend” countries.

    UK is a barbarian country, which no only steal but kill for oil and other resources. UK disguised as friendly but when they want. Betray you in the back like a coward. This happened recently with Libya
    They are not friends, they are just looking for money and not care about the means to achieve it.
    In Latin America is born a new sense of belonging, we are different but basically we are brothers, This is the unfinished independence from XIX century to unite in a great country. Here in the latin american nation we say, enough is enough of UK.

    UK is a barbarian country

    Well praise indeed from a country that throws its own people from aircraft

    which no only steal but kill for oil and other resources.
    Like the The Conquest of the Desert you mean

    This happened recently with Libya
    “I would like to thank the British people and their government for their invaluable support,” Mahmud Nacua, a long-time Libyan exile and now charge d'affaires at the country's embassy in London

    Betray you in the back like a coward.
    Like the invasion of the Falklands

    Uruguay and the UK have shared a friendship for hundreds of years. Nothing has changed. Argies wouldn't care about a small island if there was no oil there. Bad luck you can't have it. You need to work hard to be successful. Corruption or intimidation won't work.

    dear islanders

    you are so Argentines as we are , beacuse you Were born in our land.
    We want a constructive relationship with you, we want to join us, we are waiting you with open arms. Do not be fooled by the UK the only thing they want is to take advantage of you, they use you as puppets and you do not realize. If you join to form an unite nation, you can develop.
    Think of your children, what future can have on a remote island with a monarchy that wants to use politically, and make money, in an atmosphere of political instability and fear of being constantly invaded.

    You can not grow well in peace ever, that is not quality of life.

    Please reflect.
    think about your future and your children

    Islanders, please, don´t be fooled by England.
    The truth can´t be hide for ever. You need to know that Malvinas Islands are a part of Argentina and all the islanders will be friendly received in this country, you have the same rights as the rest of Argentinian people.
