Argentina will never cease to claim Malvinas Islands sovereignty, but intelligent paths to advance on that purpose must also be found, said Ministry of Interior, Public Works and Housing Rogelio Frigerio on Sunday, in Ushuaia, during the main official event on the 35th anniversary of the beginning of the 1982 conflict with the United Kingdom.

    Intelligent path? First Argentina must learn how to listen

    I think they must be some serious drugs, why do they lie so much, is it ego or what?

    It's been pointed out that Argentina has no legitimate claim over and over, so I'll just respond to this one point.

    ”...following the path that leads the nations of the world: dialogue, truth, the law and justice”

    Dialogue - You have previously demanded sovereignty as an outcome *before* negotiations, and refused the legitimate inhabitants of the Falklands any say in discussions, even having your diplomats leave when representatives arrive. You have no interest in good-faith dialogue.

    Truth - The truth is that Argentina has no claim to the Falklands. It's time you accept and acknowledge that.

    The Law - You've claimed Britain has violated several (non- binding) UN Resolutions calling for dialogue. We went over this lie in Dialogue.

    The *only* binding Resolution that has been violated WRT the Falklands was a Resolution requiring Argentina to remove their occupation following their invasion of British territory, the invasion that was to be remembered this week.

    Justice - You have refused reasonable resolutions to this dispute because you are neither willing to accept ICJ arbitration, nor admit your lies and drop your fake claim. You have no claim to justice.

    I should point out that this week is the 35th anniversary of your attempt to invade British territory and abuse the legitimate inhabitants of the same.

    In the years between, Argentina has lied about the Islands and the Islanders to anyone who would listen, taught these lies in schools, and made constant statements that they'd “recover” the Islands, rather than take steps to make things right.

    If you were serious about peace, you'd drop the fake claim that you used to “justify” the war in the first place. Keeping the Malvinas Lie alive suggests that your claims of peaceful resolution are about as truthful as the Lie itself.

    The intelligent path to them seems to be repeating lies until people believe them. It's not intelligent if there's proof they are lies. Muppets.

    @Konrad Kurse. There's no point in telling us. We agree with you. Why not follow FitzRoy's example as described in another article. Write a letter. Make it an attachment to an email, Send it to the dumbo. But, and here's the important part, copy it to various newspapers. Every paper you can manage in South America. Every paper you can think of in North America. Not a lot of point with China or Russia. Try African papers, arab papers, Australian papers.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be possible to send emails to the United Nations. Seems like it doesn't want to listen to people.

    Poor old Hepotato. Again with the old “England will return the Malvinas within 25 years” BS.
    #1 Yes, we have no Malvinas...
    #2 England doesn't have the wherewithal to return the FALKLANDS (please learn the difference between “England” and “The United Kingdom of Great Britain”
    #3 The United Kingdom of Great Britain won't be returning the Falklands to Argentina without the express wishes and permission of the Falkland Islanders
    #4 It ain't going to happen

    “but intelligent paths to advance on that purpose must also be found”.

    Until he finds the path to some basic form of intelligence, perhaps by discovering the wheel or learning how to make fire, he's not going to find paths of any type, certainly not leading to an imaginary, self delusional, myth.
