Argentina is the most protectionist country of the region” claims Astori
Uruguay's vice-president Danilo Astori said that Argentina is “the most protectionist country in the region” and again questioned the effectiveness of Mercosur arguing that Uruguay can't forget the region but can't be expected to remain idle. Read full article

Argentina's attitude to the Falkland Islanders is blatantly racist...any comment on this ?
And the protectionist policies are ruining the country. Bad enough that the auto industry is falling on its face, and today an article about the auto parts industry. Forty to one hundred percent increases and prices, and long long delays in getting parts. Most are absorbed by the centre of the universe (Buenos Aires) and few even get to the provinces. More business closures and more unemployment...thank you cfk.

Clyde15, To your question.
May 29th, 2014 - 01:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentinian government, and also all Argentinians(and most countries, and people of the world), do not think about the people that live in the Malvinas Islands. The tendency is to think more about the land that was stolen by another country in 1833 by force. That country, Britain with long an infamous history of pilliage must give back those territories to the lawful owner, that is the issue here. I hope, that answer your question. The people of the islands can stay there, if they wish to do that, after all they are Argentinians, born in Argentina.
Argentinais indeed the most protectionist country in SA.

The more people that are up front about the crazy Argentina crap that gets rolled out the better (especially in Mercosul who are supposed brothers in arms - Brazil should let them have it too but are meek). People paying lip service to that crazy economy are extending the misery of Argentina and Argentinians who are being sold down the river by their control freak President. Note trolls there is no sustainability about her policies, the citizens of Argentina will suffer unfortunately as hard decisions will have to be made after Kirchners rule to right the sinking ship.

May 29th, 2014 - 04:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I disagree with that statement on ownership of the islands.
As to, “ That country, Britain with long an infamous history of pilliage must give back those territories to the lawful owner.”
The lawful owners already live there as it is legally a BOT.
Your antecedents, the Spanish, how did they acquire the bulk of Central and South America? Were they invited in by the indigenous populations who freely donated their land to them? The Spanish raped, pillaged, murdered and colonised their lands. Have they given it back.........NO !
However the question was about racism by Argentina against the Falkland's population. The fact that YOUR posters on this site have called them , squatters (an insulting term), shit (more insulting), and rubbish can only be construed as racist remarks.
i HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.

Asking a bunch of murdering, raping mutinists (many of whom you might remember were executing by a BA firing squad) to leave by a paper letter was use of force?
The reason Pinedo's men did not resist Onslow was because most of them were not South Americans but implants born in Britain.
You seem to think the South American born settlers who were not expelled from Port Louis were British implants and Pinedo's sailors were South American because they were born in Britain?

May 30th, 2014 - 05:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0My reading is that in view of the upcoming internal elections Frente Amplio leaders have decided to finally find out what the man in the street thinks, and Astori has discovered that Uruguayans don't like Argentines, especially CFK. Perhaps he'll also note that a high proportion of us prefer Britain and the Falklands to Argentina.
Whether he'll remember all this if he's reelected, I don't know. Probably not.
If he's not reelected perhaps he'll be charged with fraud related to Pluna.

You wonder why “hate” surfaces ? Your attitude to the Falklands (Malvinas) is the main contributory factor. You blithely state that the islands are Argentinian and so are all the inhabitants.
This is the mantra we hear time and time again along with 1833, pirates, usurpation etc with no real proof of it's truth.
It is the bare faced arrogance of statements like this which is causing the “hate” against Argentina.

May 31st, 2014 - 11:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0At the time when “Argentina invaded” the Malvinas, you must be aware who was in power in Argentina at that time, is like telling me that all British are bad because of what happen to the Irish for centuries, we can not use this kind of reasoning anymore. As I know who suffer the most in the hands of the Argentinians military, was not so much the islanders, but the poor boys who end up there. The British treated them better than the Argentinean army in the end of the confict.
Regarding the mantra, sorry, but that mantra will not go away, not today, not tomorrow, is going to be there until Britain gives back what it stole in 1833. The question here is; which argentinean goverment Britain should choose to make the negociations? This one? next one? The one after?
#30
May 31st, 2014 - 04:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is where we fundamentally disagree and obviously never can agree.
You say we “stole” the islands, we say they were never yours for us to steal.
If your country had acted in a friendly reasonable manner there just might have been some accommodation over sovereignty. You blew that in 1982 when you INVADED the islands and placed them under martial law. Not content with that you also claim South Georgia and the Sandwich Islands. It appears that there is no limit to your desire for a “Mare Argentina.”
The invasion of the Falklands was a highly popular event in Argentina.
I can remember the ecstatic cheering crowds when the event took place.
Yes, the junta carried it out but it had the backing of your people.
The mood only changed when your forces were comprehensively defeated, then it appears that no one actually supported it.
A bit like WW2 when there were no Nazis in Germany at the end of the war.
The question here is; which argentinean goverment Britain should choose to make the negociations? Ask the Falkland Islanders, not the UK government.

“The UK is attacking no one” again... :-) That one is to be remember! Tell that the Iraqis or Afghans right now.
“That looks like a threat” Sorry, I did not mean to confuse you. Is not a threat, all the contrary. What I meant is the Islanders will loose in the long run, that all.
I wish for the islanders to get a good deal out of this mess. Do you really thing Britain care about you islanders?
Britain kiss to HK good bye very fast. In Hong Kong were living - and still live - more British decedents than in Malvinas. Britain is in a real mess, honest they do not care one bit. They care about the land, the honor been hurt, and all that. But the reality is something else, please do not dream.
I would like the islanders to have full autonomy, live in peace, and be part of Argentina. No military bases, no funny business. That only will be achieve by ending this bad situation, and that Britain go for good.
The longer the delay, the worse the deal will be for you the Islanders.
In one hand you could achieve as I mention before, full autonomy, live a supper life, and run your own affairs, or on the other, full integration with the Argentinean state with all the bad things that go with it.

As to Afghanistan, we, along with your despised coalition, are trying to give the people of Afghanistan a chance to vote for a government that THEY want, not one imposed by the Taliban. We have all but pulled out - do you keep up with current affairs ?
The only way that the Islanders can lose is if Argentina gets it's thieving hands on the Falklands.
“I would like the islanders to have full autonomy, live in peace”
They can have that if Argentina leaves them in peace.
The only reason we have forces there is because your people would walk in and take over again.
I am not an Islander, but British, living in the UK and yes WE DO CARE about the Falklands.
We lost a lot of good men defending it against your country's aggression
.
Again, get your facts right. Hong Kong was leased from China, the lease was up, so it was returned to them as per the treaty.
The bottom line is that the UK is certain of it's title to the islands and that Argentina has no valid claim. Why should we hand them over to you and take the risk of the population being subjugated or removed.
Nothing your country has said or done convinces the UK that we can trust what you say. Why should we take any risk with their lives ?
if you wish to sort out the sovereignty of the islands, take it to the ICJ.
Also, explain why you think that S.Georgia and the S.Sandwich Islands belong to Argentina......and most of the S.Atlantic.

“All Islands in the South pacific are British.”
Totally incorrect. I cannot think of ANY island in the S.Pacific which the UK claims. We had many protectorates such as Fiji, Cook Islands, Samoa etc but they were all given their independence years ago. I have been both in Fiji and the Cook Islands and the population there seem to like the British. Even the native Hawaiians seem to like the ties they had with us in the 19th century.
“The most shameful chapter in history”
Nothing we can be particularly proud about, agreed. However, the consequences of British control has produce an economic powerhouse benefitting mainland China. So you berate us for taking the place by force and now you berate us for giving it back under terms of the lease .
You think that this was worse than the murder of 6 million undesirables by the Nazis ? Your logic is surely twisted.
You have your own opinion - not facts-and that is your slant on the matter. As usual, with Argie supporters you have started being supercilious because you don't have anything else to say of any value.
You still have NOT ANSWERED my question.
Why do you think that the sub -Antarctic islands claimed and administered by the UK belong to Argentina.
Apart from the fact that they seem to WANT the whole of the Antarctic region.
The real facts are; the British had no right to make any “claims”, not in the pacific, not in the Atlantic, not in the Indian Ocean, Africa, or anywhere in the world, apart of the vicinity of the United Kingdom.

The topic of China is sad, that you can be so proud of going to another country to conquer, control, by using force, is not only criminal, but barbaric. China does not forget that... I find it in very bad taste to try to justify the things bad actions, with worse ones like Nazis.
The facts also are the history of a colonial power that had no right to conquer and kill. That is a fact! You are wrong to defend that, that is also a fact.
All this events only point out how a country did behave in it history.
Colonialism is nothing to be proud off, making claims of places is not something ethical right, is wrong!
And if Argentinians or who ever does something wrong, we must mention it. No justification, sorry.
The question of Argentina, ownership of the Malvinas, and other Islands such Georgia, and some areas of the antarctic are obvious to most people in the world, read about it, inform your self.
Argentina is not claiming ownership the Island of White, or some Island in Scotland. Is only setting a claim or ownership for lands, Argentina that inherit for another colonial power Spain, those lands are physically next to Argentina, and in the vicinity, as part of the land that was “El virrenato of rio de la plata”. Chile maybe be right to dispute with Argentina some land, maybe Uruguay, if anybody. But Britain? What Britain is doing there? Sorry those times are over.
The only thing Britain can do is to negotiate and to put right what you did wrong.

Jun 05th, 2014 - 06:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Where to start !
The British have no right to make any claims to uninhabited islands.
So the originally uninhabited islands of Pitcairn , St.Helena, Tristan da Cunha and Ascension should all be vacated and given to whom ?
What right has Argentina to make claims. What you are effectively saying is that Argentina has the right to all the S.Atlantic territories although Britain was there before Argentina existed. How convenient for you !! We were exploring this region long before your country was nothing but a small settlement on the river Plate. What right did these people ,who came mainly from Spain, to move down the continent and annexe the land ? As you say colonialism is nothing to be proud of. I presume that refers to Argentina also.
The question of ” Argentina ownership of EVERYTHING they see just about sums it up. The whole world does NOT agree with Argentina.
Read about it...I have for about 40 years !! You believe the lies you have been fed about it.
So proximity denotes ownership. How close ? 360 miles to the Falklands, 1100 miles to S.Georgia. By that context the Faeroes and Iceland should belong to the UK.
Argentina is an expansionist colonial power ..end of story.
Why don't you read deeply about the claims and counter claims.
For two years at least, every Argentinean claim made on this forum has been refuted with chapter and verse. What has been the effect, back on the magic roundabout about usurpation in 1833 and it starts all over again. Get used to it, the Islanders are there to stay as a BOT until they decide otherwise.
