Sao Paulo/Falklands link, “very positive” and will help build bridges for sovereignty negotiations
Argentine foreign minister Jorge Faurie described the authorization for a regular weekly flight between Sao Paulo, Brazil and the Falkland Islands, with a monthly stopover in Cordoba, as “something very positive”, which has the purpose of “building bridges and creating trust for sovereignty negotiations” Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesJorge is really selling this isn't he? Which “sovereignty negotiations” are these? The reason Argentina “authorised” the flight was because trade negotiations would probably falter with Britain if they didn't.
Sep 07th, 2019 - 11:15 am - Link - Report abuse +5After all, Britain and the Falkland Islands governments honour the '99 Agreement when Argentina picks and chooses when it does.
Sovereignty negotiations? What difference will a new air link make to the British sovereignty of the Falklands? The Islands are British and wil remain British and that has nothing to do with air transport.
Sep 07th, 2019 - 11:23 am - Link - Report abuse +6The Islands were not British territory when they were taken from the Argentine who had been administrating and maintaining their presence on the Islands. Britain, the bully of the world, likes to believe conquest war and invasion can lead to a legitimate claim to permanent sovereignty despite of other claims or protests. This is the ONLY existing context in which British people say “the Falklands are British”. No, whey are in a continuous process of pushing away the Argentine claim in hopes it will go away one day that has lasted since 1833 when they militarily expelled the Argentine government from there. SECONDLY,
Sep 07th, 2019 - 01:55 pm - Link - Report abuse -6Faurie is just desperately trying to win the support of the indecisive ex Peronists with lies. Macri wanted to loose those Islands as he thinks the only thing in this world that makes a nation is good relations with the financial powers of the planet, and this is the premise in which he had Britain's blessings (or much more than blessings most likely) He quickly changed his tone when he say how much that attitude was costing him approval. Pathetic !!
To anyone that reads this thread. “Trimonde” is a man called Patrick Regini, a known Class A drug user, homophobe and racist. This man racially abused native Hawaiians until they attacked him and forced him to leave Hawaii, he claims the natives are fat, lazy and greasy. He also has a criminal conviction for attacking his own mother. This is his facebook profile https://www.facebook.com/patrick.regini

Sep 07th, 2019 - 03:08 pm - Link - Report abuse -5Yes my name is Patrick Edgar Regini, and I created my internet handle a few years after you were born punk. And all those things you say about me, are the known propagandist rhetoric the British in Malvinas vs Falklands trap groups have been relentlessly trying to character assassinate me with for years. Of course, people here are so stupid as to not be able to figure that out on their own. Would that be right, you usurping colonist ?
Did you hit your mother?

Sep 07th, 2019 - 08:54 pm - Link - Report abuse -2Buenos Aires was trespassing in 1833 and without the Confederation's consent. The Falklands were disputed between Spain and England from 1748 until Spain recognised British sovereignty in 1863. Argentina is not Spain.
Sep 07th, 2019 - 10:30 pm - Link - Report abuse +5I would also add that if Trimonde is Mad Pat then he has developed a new style of writing. My sources still say he's Betts.
Nobless oblige..., Mr. Roger Lorton seems to be right in 1 (one) of his above points...
Sep 08th, 2019 - 04:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0If Mr. Trinonde indeed is Mr. Patrick Edgar Regini..., he certainly has developed a new style of writing....
Having said the above..., I Think his “sources” are completely wrong... The only thing “Betts” about poster Trimonde is his picture...
Capisce..., copper...?
Who's gonna pay for the bridge? Mexico maybe? haha

Sep 08th, 2019 - 03:40 pm - Link - Report abuse +1This whole article of Fourie,s was just aimed to placate the TDF and some others. He knows full well any argentine landing on a flight at MPA with just ID card and no Passport- will be put straight back onto same aircraft!
Sep 08th, 2019 - 09:45 pm - Link - Report abuse +3One or two have tried it on at times- just flicking their ID card over the counter to our Customs and Immigration Officers and not showing their passport- whereby said ID card is flicked back to them and they are politely advised to produce their passport - or be escorted back to the aircraft.
Anyway there is a fair chance Kristina will get the flight cancelled - maybe why Latam as yet have not confirmed fares etc- they don't want the embarrassment of starting a flight that then immediately they have to cancel!- I for one will not be surprised if it never happens.
@ Roger, Roger:
Sep 09th, 2019 - 11:59 am - Link - Report abuse -1Dear ,
what you wrote was already known, but it would be better to explain why you did not expel the Spaniards before your reaffirmation of the islands in 1833, it would seem that the effort to take back the islands from the Argentines was less in place of the Spaniards. In the eyes of the Argentines the problem is all there.
I'm sure that by explaining the whole story and answering all these issues this dispute would end in a short time.

Sep 09th, 2019 - 01:58 pm - Link - Report abuse +3“why you did not expel the Spaniards before your reaffirmation”. The answer is twofold. In the first instance, Spain had restored and accepted the UK's claim, after she was prepared to go to war over the issue. Secondly, Spain abandoned her claim after losing her South American colonies in 1810. The Argentinians where completely informed as to the issues. The only problem is their subsequent dishonesty.

@ Terence Hill,
Sep 09th, 2019 - 04:01 pm - Link - Report abuse +1OK Terence,
your point of view is very satisfying, it should be made known to the all Argentines to put an end to this dispute.
Johnny Colman
Sep 09th, 2019 - 04:11 pm - Link - Report abuse +2“it should be made known to the all Argentines” Argentina has been told many, many times.
The only problem is their subsequent dishonesty.
I wonder if Jorge believes himself.

Why didn't Britain expel the Spaniards? But we did, in 1833.
Sep 09th, 2019 - 10:16 pm - Link - Report abuse +4East Falkland (Soledad) island was still claimed by Spain and would be until 1863, 30 years after Britain usurped Spanish sovereignty of that island (the only island Spain had claimed on withdrawing its troops in 1811).
That there were a few trespassers from Buenos Aires there at the time was not relevant. They had been warned to stay away.
It was Spain's reaction that Palmerston waited for.
