Disclaimer & comment rulesThere's no hiding that the Falkland Island representatives failed to get a meeting with a member of the Panamanian Government. Ditto in Guyana. So no new alliances there.

@1:
Apr 08th, 2013 - 10:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well done for getting the name of the Islands correct.
Panama once held a Scottish colony and was also part of Colombia.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 11:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0Using Argentine logic it is either Scottish territory or still part of Colombia.
Out and about with clout, thats what its about....
Apr 08th, 2013 - 03:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Panama continues to support Argentina in the conflict Mavinas. This is demonstrated in UN documents, OAS and CELAC.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 03:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Always appreciate the courage of the people of Panama and General Torrijos, in its support for Argentina demonstrated in the Security Council in 1982
@12 Yep, the browbeaten “government” says one thing whilst the people “they could see no legal reason for the continued refusal by some countries in the region of the right to self-determination for Falkland Islanders.” say something else.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 05:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“courage of the people of Panama and General Torrijos, in its support for Argentina demonstrated in the Security Council in 1982” That's pretty amazing considering that Torrijos was dead. And when were the people consulted?
does it really matter who supports argentina,
Apr 08th, 2013 - 06:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the fact is, a free demorcratic vote took place, and they freely voted to remain british,
and as for as democracy goes, anyone who opposes this result are either indocrinated , or belives in the dictatership,
the two main conponents to free speech.
Raul, lying again.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 09:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A British (born in Great Britain for the avoidance of doubt) traveling back and forth, looking very holy and innocent.
Apr 08th, 2013 - 10:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What image! a usurper trying to convince Hispanic Americans accept their theft.
This reminds me of the fun of the participants in this forum every time there is a vote in favor of UN Argentina (or always). Then go as beggars (false beggars) seeking support here o there ....
José, what are you trying to say, my good fellow?
Apr 09th, 2013 - 09:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0We have support, & you?
l think at last, people are beginning to see through your country's lies.
@16 as a hispanic you are probably best qualified to explain what is theft,

Apr 09th, 2013 - 04:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm not fake. I can not be “good friend” of violators of territorial sovereignty Argentina.
Now, if recognize the theft and accept that the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and surrounding waters are Argentine, we can be friends. Otherwise, no greetings.
@19 José Malvinero: “I can not be “good friend” of violators of territorial sovereignty Argentina. Now, if recognize the theft and accept that the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and surrounding waters are Argentine, we can be friends. ”
Apr 09th, 2013 - 04:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The British didn't want to be friends with the likes of Hitler, and it you may be surprised that no one will be bothered about being friends with you either.
jose is just purly anti british full stop,
Apr 09th, 2013 - 06:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0history is irrelevent to him,
was it not an American ship that sunk theirs,
does he mention this, does he mention others who have hurt his country,
no no no .
just anti british,
once again the innocent suffers, whilst the guilty ones claim to be the victim.
mmm
“Now, if recognize the theft and accept that the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and surrounding waters are Argentine, we can be friends. Otherwise, no greetings.”
Apr 10th, 2013 - 01:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can someone please explain to me the basis for Argentina's claim to South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands (especially SSI). As far as I can see (in relation to SG) they just claimed it once the lease to an Argentine registered company expired.
