    U$D10,000 per month, U$D120,000 per year plus expenses.

    I hope these twats spend a lot of it in Uruguay while they are here (as long as there's a quorum: that says a lot)!

    It's nothing more than a job creation scheme for 3rd rate politicos and at that it looks like the voting system has got serial loser Filmus a seat by the back door.
    I doubt anybody outside this so called Parlasur will give it the slightest bit of credibility

    Looks like Filmus has had a rat transplant off Bogbrush

    “However besides the fact that Filmus is acting as the leading claimant of Argentine sovereignty over the Falkland Islands”

    And have Argentina got any closer to owning the Islands through scumfilm?

    No, but then according to Argentina he is successful because he hasn't got anywhere.

    He will get a medal as soon as he declares he would be willing to fight for the Falklands( if it weren't for the fact he needed to get some shopping or wash the car), but that's enough for a bravery award in Argentina.

    Democracy at its best and much-needed regional integration at work. A far cry from the years of Plan Cóndor, a sinister co-ordination of South American dictatorships of the 1970s to illegally exchange nationals kidnapped across borders.

    election win for Malvinas affairs desk ,

    Apparently they will issue passports and work permits for all Malvinas residents,

    and are thus trying to recruit people for the Malvinas defence force,

    Seems like this Malvinas is growing as strong and wealthy as Argentina,...lol

    Filmus. Prat. Twat. Lying toerag. Has Kirchner's toe up his arse. Returns to Casa Rosada at regular intervals to lick arse. Check videos to see Kirchner's bandy-legged walk. One mouth for the scum, second mouth for the shite. Filmus is hooked on shite.

    Definitely an improvement.

    How long still until you're prepared to recognize law, democracy and human rights in the South Atlantic?

    Venezuela, Bolivia and Argentina: three failed countries using phoney, archaic 'territorial integrity' excuses to blow smoke up the ar5e of their respective dumb electorates. Classic LatAm banana politics in action.

    Not surprised by Filmus' appointment. Parlasur is not for groundbreaking intelligence.

    However, please consider Parlasur in business terms. Guaranteed income for Uruguayan caterers, hotels, bars, restaurants and even landlords with flats for rent. Not to mention tarts and taxiboys.

    “Dumb electorates.”
    Same thought the golpistas used to justify dictatorships.
    Democracy is good as long as we can control it, right?
    If not. Let's go knock at the headquarters' doors. Or, as the new fade will have it, let's try the “soft coup.”
