Jun 27th, 2012 - 04:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0What provocations, exactly? Maybe we should prove how “peaceful” we are by, I dunno, making a propaganda video about the Falklands knowing it has f-all to do with the Olympics and is only designed to cause hatred and resentment and bringing down condemnation from the Olympic committe? God forbid.
Jun 27th, 2012 - 05:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Waste of flesh, that woman.
This should be fun. The Falklands aren't an obsession in the UK so any athlete coming all fired up for a Falklands themed Olympics will be sadly disappointed. They're more likely to end up holding a camera for a Chinese tourist.

Jun 27th, 2012 - 06:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0If she expects us to act like her, she will be sorely disappointed, really unlike Argentina this isn't a national passion like it is over there. In England we like to tackle problems that affect our economy or social matters whereas in Argentina when they have problems they like to raise the Falkland's fantasy they have and pretend their problems don't exist.
Jun 27th, 2012 - 06:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0She's a shameful hypocritical liar.
Shame on her and she shames Argentina everyday she is in power.
jajajaa so she holds a political rally to make that statement, this old girl is desperate. Grow a backbone Argentina
Jun 27th, 2012 - 06:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0Wait for an engineered incident at the Olympics just like border incursions by Poland against the Nazis
CFK is a procrastinating hypocrit with first class honours degree in spin-doctoring. If the competitors behave it will be out of a sense of their own duty not what she says. If they misbehave then they will be perpetuating the falacies fed to them by successive Argentine governments. Provocation is not a british trait.

We should greet the argie “team” with all the respect they, and their country, deserve. So I suppose that the headscarves and masks, the sticks and stones, and the petrol bombs will all be on hand. I wonder if they'll need an armed police escort from the airport to the Olympic village and back? Probably best if they don't go “sight-seeing” whilst they are in Britain. Of course, anything that happens won't be in line with the policies of the British government or the majority of peaceful Britons. But every country has “violent, radical groups”.

A good sensible briefing by Cristina, not desperate backtracking though as she said in the same session that she thought the video was great =) Such a shame Zylderberg was blocked by the local Olympic Committee for his loyalty to his Queen, though at least that shows Argentina is no dictatorship; in Saddam's Iraq for example the President's son ran the Olympic Committee!
Jun 27th, 2012 - 12:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is absolutely derogatory and disgusting, that a disgruntled and deluded leader, should use her own hard working athletes , to put her greedy disgusting politics into sport, and thus possibly destroy the hopes of genuine Olympic hopefuls, and humiliate her own country, just to score petty points over an innocent island people,
Jun 27th, 2012 - 12:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And it is even more disgusting that some of her cohorts on here agree with her.
Its about sport not political games.

Jun 27th, 2012 - 02:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFK would probably brand customs “provocative” for checking any Argentine passports.
Provocation?? That botox has genuinly gone to her head, have we made an olympic video with any argenine war memorials in? No, are we trying to blockade argetntina like there doing to the falklands? no. Are we gathering support from other latim american countries to provoke the falklands? no!And hang on ... When argentina felt provoked by Prince William did they not realise that he was alrady scheduled to go to the falklands on duty beofre tensions got as bad as what they are now between tho both countries? I genuinely hope the argentine delegation dont do anything they will regret if they do try and politicise the olympics, theres only ever been 2 people who did this Hitler and CFK when the olympic video was released. If any of the delegation team choose to make any statements or anything to do with the falklands being argentine, what i will say is that your in a country of extreme tolerance but our men as much as your men died in that war , but you come to our country with your bogus claims, lies, and insult or even attempt to politicse the olympics i can only imagine what the british spectators would do. Hang your heads in shame Argentina. Does anyone know if its true that Argentine schools are told to teach the argentina geogrpahics including the falklands as argentine and not british? Again if this is true your government are investing into lies being sold to argentine's at a young age. Which again puts Argentina into the same stereotype thats already out there, That there just corrupt liars. Its a shame.

And Yes - I believe there was genuine information in British hands in London that stunt(s) were to be pulled- that is why the warning went out.

Jun 27th, 2012 - 04:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@29 I've seen the video before and it's very sad. It's notable that these classes are mandatory. How to brainwash the kids. Very nazi. Actually, I couldn't find a single thing that the “teacher” said that was true. Since when did “Spain conquer the Islands”? Spain BOUGHT the French settlement. Then Spain forced the British settlers off using 1400 troops. Britain asked Spain if it wanted a war. By the next year, the British settlers were back, Spain returned all seized goods etc and made restitution. And what about the garbage that the Islands became argentine with independence. There has NEVER been any legal principle that authorises such action. The FACT is that Britain still claimed sovereignty and Spain admitted it. The argies were, at best, squatters. Actually, given some of the people that went there and their activities, the argies were not only squatters but pirates as well! First “argie” there, David Jewett, pirate. Then Luis Vernet, started with a British-authorised commercial venture and then descended to piracy. Looks like all argies are hereditary crooks!

Jun 27th, 2012 - 07:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Her statement is a fairly clumsy and ham fisted attempt to make Argentina look like victims.
It is a bit like Hitler telling a German football team (about to play in Czechoslovakia, 1938), not to be provoked by the Czechs angry about Germany's claim to the sudetanland.

The song was a bit cringe worthy aswell ha. Even in the clip when the teacher says we inherited the islands after independence from Spain. But south America wasn't independant from Spanish rule till 1810 but wasn't it in the 1700's when we led the plaque to assert soverignty? There must just be an unwillingness to want 2 know the truth.

@29 Thanks for sharing but wow - that's really awful.
Jun 28th, 2012 - 09:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'd heard Argentine school texts gave a partial view of the facts, but I didn't realise the presentation of the subject was quite so nationalistic/psychologically loaded. If that video is typical I actually feel quite sorry for Argentinians...
Thinking back to history lessons at school...there was always a conscious effort to teach the circumstances, motivations, rights and wrongs of both sides in any conflict regardless of whether the UK was involved. I can remember clearly the effort that was made to explain the role of WWI reparations and the economic hardships of Germany in the rise of fascism.
I can't remember a single instance of the union flag being brought out or singing the national anthem. Of course we had a memorial in the old school hall (about 100 former pupils died in WWI, mainly with the Birmingham Pals who suffered heavily in the Somme) and a service of commemoration every year, but the idea of sticking names on a flag just makes me feel uncomfortable.
Is this video really typical of how the subject is taught in Argentina?
“There is no need for actions contrary to the practice of sports to show Argentina’s rights over the Malvinas Islands”, said Cristina Fernandez.
