At the formal opening of the 134th congressional term on Tuesday, Argentine president Mauricio Macri said on Tuesday that his administration is building mature and sensible relations with all countries of the world, and Mercosur is a priority, but dialoguing with world leaders, including British PM David Cameron “does not mean giving up our sovereignty claim over the Malvinas Islands”.

I don't expect that Argentina's claim will be withdrawn any time soon.

But I expect future generations will be less brainwashed by it.

Poor Macri having to drag the 15M Peronista and K scum kicking and screaming into the 20th century.

Perhaps in his next presidency he will be able to bring them into the 21st.

What about this then? Nisman, who is up there not down here is coming back from the grave to haunt the screeching Hag!

What does everyone THINK about that?

Have you ever thought any sensible Argentine President will resign Argentina's sovereignty rights over the islands? This is NOT an electoral, sentimental or idelogical issue. This is a legal and political issue and Argentina has been constant, coherent and systematic in historically advancing its rightful position. The very BIG problem now is dealing with a sensible President who is not easy to attack from easy propagandistic arguments. Come to terms with it: Argentina's sovereignty claim is here to stay and UK knows that. Time will come. Rest assured

“Time will come.”

For what? You personally to get a working brain?

It's only a legal issue because the Peronista scum had it put into the laughingly called 'constitution', you know the one, it also claims the RCCunts need to be before anything else that the country needs.

Bunch of twats if you keep those clauses.

Argentina's sovereignty rights over the islands?

once again you argies make claims, but you cannot pove it, you don't want to prove it,
or you would take it to the ICJ.

8 Alejomartinez “This is a legal Argentina's sovereignty claim is here to stay ”
That is absolutely incorrect since it runs counter to 2225(XXI) and CHARTER OF THE UNITED NATIONS; CHAPTER I, PURPOSES AND PRINCIPLES, Article 1. ss. 4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat…against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations. By Argentine failure to use the ICJ.

Argentina should do the honourable thing and take in 5000,000 Syrian afghans and Iraqi immigrants,

After 5 years Argentina will have a claim on their territory...

@8. Let me explain about “factors”.

1. The Falklanders don't want you.
2. The Falklanders don't need you.
3. Britain agrees.

How many sacrificial victims are you planning for next time?

“Argentina has been constant”

Not between 1888 and 1941 it hasn't been-constant would mean 1833-present-hasn't happened-next line of bullshit?

“in historically advancing its rightful position”

Does the Argentine definition of advancing, actually mean retreating?
What do you mean by advancing in this case?

Does advancing the case mean not going to the ICJ?

“Time will come. Rest assured”

I see, another illegal invasion started by Argentina followed by the assured destruction of the 5 nearest Argentine airfields to MPA , and more ships doing submarine impressions?

And how long will it take your soldiers to surrender now they will be attacking more than 80 troops as in 1982?
