”I wish to reiterate that the legitimate authorities of the Malvinas, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the maritime area around them are the National Government (of Argentina) and Tierra del Fuego Government“, he wrote in a column published on Infobae.com.

It seems talking about the Falklands is as much a minefield for Argentine officials as parts of the islands still are in reality.

Well the RGs tried to turn the Falkland Islands into a minefield. They can dispute sovereignty as much as they want but it wont change anything even with the support of a handful of Quislings. Much of SA is in the hands of failed and failing socialist regimes and this will continually hold back and impoverish its people until things change.

Finally, words of wisdom, and from a man who actually took part in the war.....and I don't expect a bunch of retarded politicians in Buenos Aires will respect them. Politics is the name of the game, no matter what.
