Run off in Tierra del Fuego governor's election; despite freezing weather, 60% cast ballots
Results from Tierra del Fuego in the extreme south of Argentina put Victory Front senator Rosana Bertone on course for victory in Sunday's governor's election, although she will have to face a run-off with second-placed Federico Sciurano. With 82.8% of the vote counted Bertone led on 41.8%, followed by Sciurano of the radical-Popular Fueguino Movement coalition who took 33.7%. Read full article

Well spotted Skip, when will they ever get things right?
Jun 22nd, 2015 - 09:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0What an unsavory character he looks.
Jun 22nd, 2015 - 09:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0No wonder he embarrasses his family.
“I do not want futurology”?
Jun 22nd, 2015 - 12:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No nee to worry missus, The Dark Country has no future whilst it supports Peronism.
I have always asked myself which is the legal status of Alexander Betts in the Islands. Based on some articles I read in the web when the war finished he was forced to left the islands and he was scared of being killed by his own people.

Jun 22nd, 2015 - 05:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A bit like you and Riki Mashed Potato Head then, hiding in Canada but still spouting crap about The Dark Country?
”Betts was invited by the Tierra del Fuego electoral board to exercise his “constitutional right to vote.”
Jun 22nd, 2015 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why weren't all the Falkland Islanders allowed to vote?
After all, Falkland Islanders and Brits occupied Terra del Fuego before Argentina did.
I've got an idea. Instead of the Falklands being administered from Tierra del Fuego as Argentina claims,(hows's that going for you Malvanista's-those Spanish road signs up yet?) as The Islander are better at running things, let the FIG run Tierra del Fuego.

Jun 22nd, 2015 - 06:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0OK, I accept it was my mistake. If you want to get a rational answer shouldn't have tried to get it from a fanatic full of hate brain washed.
In addition I have full legal federal residence visa in Canada. I'm not hidden a step behind anyone as you are hiding your lack of manly behind a british garrison.
My freedom is based on the Canadian institutions and on the National Constitution of Argentina. In both cases the freedom was earned after lots of suffering and given blood. Your freedom was decided in another country. It is a “borrowed” freedom that you will loose the very same moment that both countries, Argentina and the United Kingdom, reached an agreement on the status of the area. Remember HK and Chagos.
@8. Betts was, of course, a fornicating coward. Screwing an argie maid whilst legally married. Fled the Falklands in fear, even though NO Falklanders have ever been prosecuted for complying with argie requirements. Just a bit of scum, like all argies. Perhaps, one day, the SAS will turn up. And put a bullet where he deserves it.
Jun 22nd, 2015 - 07:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So you're a coward. Why don't you live in the country you so often defend, coward?
The National Constitution of Argentina has no force in Canada.
The United Kingdom will NEVER reach an agreement with argieland. Since you aren't anywhere relevant, argieland will be destroyed. The British people have decided!
Pgerman who came from la Cámpora and migrated to Canada is just like the Gypsies from Bulgaria that show up in the UK and plead for asylum as political refugees and living off public aid. There's a ton of ex-Chilean Socialist - Marxists - Communists there as well.

Jun 22nd, 2015 - 09:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I can see that you have little grasp on reality or even a memory.
Everybody on here, including the trolls, know that I have LEGAL residency and a full cedula for URUGUAY! I don't need a visa now.
I am well on the way to holding a Uruguayo PASSPORT as well. You have to be 'invited' to apply for that. I would imagine that if you lie to the Canadian Authorities as much as you lie on here the only thing they will invite you to do is PISS OFF.
Do try harder, even though you are an argie idiota.
@8 pgerman,
Jun 22nd, 2015 - 09:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What Pete Bog @ post #7 says is true, whether you like it or not.
The British & Falkland lslanders WERE in Tierra del Fuego BEFORE the Argentines.
So according to malvinista logic, TDF & Sta Cruz Provinces belong to us & you Argentines who live there are SQUATTERS!!!!!!
l'd advise you to do a bit of research before you mouth off about something that you have no knowledge of.
Pgerman lives in Canada?
Jun 22nd, 2015 - 09:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You couldn't make this sh!t up. His “freedom is based on the Canadian institutions”....... based on the British ones!
I'm unsure how the Canadian freedoms were created “after lots of suffering and giving blood”?
Is that like repelling an invasion and having soldiers die...... such as the Falkland Islanders experienced living under the Argentine Constitution?
Well thank God, Canada is a constitutional monarchy!
@13
Jun 23rd, 2015 - 12:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0So, let me see if I understood. The current Canadian Institutions based on the Birtish ones were reached without any suffering, fight or blood spitted? What happened with the United Kingdom defending its institutions and freedom against the Nazi Germany? Was it for free?
@10
Chicuro, my chileand friend. Lover of “good nazis” such as Augusto Pinochet. I told you several times. Unlike Hansniesund who supported the idea of “good nazis” and “bad nazis” most of the islanders don't seem to be confortable with your praise to the freemason traitor.
By the way..do you know that among the freemasonry the second degree. the fellowcraft, is the degree of the “traitor”? Augusto Pinochet couldn't wait to reach this second degree...he was a traitor in the first and most basic degree...
Yes yes the Nazis. Well being Argentinean you'd be an expert on that so I'll defer to you.
Jun 23rd, 2015 - 04:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Anyway, glad you're living under my Queen. Stability and prosperity must make quite a change.
@15
Jun 23rd, 2015 - 02:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No doubt at all. I agree 100%
I was born and had to live my youth among nazis. Videla, Galtieri, Massera. etc. Also watching nazis ruling the surrounding countries such as Pinochet in CHile or Stroessnerr in Paraguay. Now nazis and fascists keep on ruling my country. Peronists such as Menem, Kirchner, Duhalde..all of the were nazis and fascists.
At the very same time I'm living under your Queen who I have in my self steeme. No doubt about that the British Crown was vital in the destruction of fanatism in Europe and in the Western culture. I really appreciate it. No doubt at all.

@ Referendum?
Jun 24th, 2015 - 12:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ahhh...yes the one held in the Chagos Islands? or the one in Hong Kong?
@21
Jun 24th, 2015 - 01:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Tell me the old, o,d story.
Apart from the obvious fact that Hong Kong was, for the most part, a lease rather than freehold, you might like to ask your friends at the UN about the case,mfor it was the GA as a whole which voted to remove Hong Kong from the list of NSGTs, thus ensuring the right of self-determination could not be claimed. Which makes it all the more remarkable that Argentina has never attempted to do anything similar. Why do you think that is?
And as for Chagos, about the only people who approve of that particular example of British behaviour, are Argentine Malvinistas who seem to regard it as a hopeful precedent, and consider it terribly,, terribly unfair the UK won't do the same thing to the Falkland Islanders. Which would at least be a logically consistent position if you weren't simultaneously wringing your hands about how wicked it was. As it stands, both of the last two British governments have condemned their predecessors, and moves are afoot to rectify matters, even though there is no legal obligation to do doodleysquat. These days it's only Argentines who think the right thing to do is repeat the wrong.

Jun 24th, 2015 - 02:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I take responsiblity from my writtings and I don't care what “malvinistas” or CFK say or write.
Based on this simple principle, I have always mentioned that Islanders must live wherever they want. If they were born in the islands and it's their desire to live there they must have this right. I have no doubt about that.
Until the United Kingdom (a country that has my higher concept in the defense of basic human rights by the way) fix the crime commited in Chagos Islands I would consider this issue a proof of its double standart.
You know me. I don't lie or use tricky arguments as you like to.
