Vice president Boudou represented CFK at the ceremony which honours Bolivian independence heroines

Argentine vice-president Amado Boudou publicity thanked Bolivia for its standing and unyielding support to Argentina’s claims over the Malvinas and other South Atlantic Islands.

Boudou represented President Cristina Fernandez at a special ceremony this weekend held in the Bolivian city of Cochabamba to commemorate the uprising of Bolivian indigenous women, two centuries ago, against the Spanish crown in 1812.

“I want to make it a point of underlining our gratitude to the Bolivian government and the Bolivian people for their standing support to the Malvinas sovereignty and heroic deeds”, said Boudou addressing the crowd in Cochabamba.

The ceremony was headed by Bolivian President Evo Morales, Boudou’s peer Alvaro Garcia, all of the Bolivian ministerial cabinet, the high military command and provincial and local authorities.

Boudou laid a flower wreath at the monument of la Coronilla which remembers the uprising of the Bolivian women two centuries ago, one of the first independence expressions against Spanish colonialism of the country.

The Argentine vice-president arrived in Bolivia with “ten Malvinas veterans to express their support and commitment to the deed accomplished by the Heroines of La Coronilla”.

Bolivia which has pending border disputes with Chile over an outlet to the Pacific which it lost in the so called Pacific war of 1879, has always backed Argentina’s sovereignty claims over the Falklands and other South Atlantic islands.

Both President Morales and VP Boudou should thank Britain for defending the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands in 1982, because in doing so, the murderous, fascist Argentine Military Junta quickly ended after the Falklands defeat - and then in a domino effect, the Bolivian Military Junta of Luis García Meza also quickly ended.

It would seem that Argentine Vice-President Amado Boudou belongs in prison, judging by the news coming out of Argentina itself.
