How will South America celebrate on press freedom day, as they basically have none? If only their press freedom rankings were as good as their fifa rankings :)

This turkey heads the UN, arguably the largest supra-national command and control structure on the planet, and he's talking about 'independent' press and how 'outraged' he is about attacks on journalists? Then lectures us on 'human dignity' and 'democracy'?

I just had a good laugh, what a joke!

Perhaps the Argentine press can celecrate freedom day by telling everyone that Argentine claims to the Falkland Islands are completely unfounded and that Britain was left with the last standing legal claim to the islands and that the present propaganda regarding ownership was started by Peron.

The truth is out there...

Please like this page in order to force Argentina to return Misiones and Formosa Provinces to Paraguay, the country they were stolen from in 1870!

Misiones and Formosa Provinces are provinces of Argentina that were seized and annaxed by Argentina from Paraguay this page is dedicated to address Argentine hyporcacy and ensuring their return to Paraguay.

It's only right that Argentina first addresses its own hyocracy by re-examining its own history before talking about taking more land it has never had soverignty over. Not just the Falklands but South Georgia and the South Sandwhich Islands.
