I hope that Beatriz Sarlo is strong enough to stand up for her opinion and not, as many others, have to apology and undergo “self-criticism”. Otherwise she could perhaps apply for political asylum in the Falklands.

The many decades of indoctrination through the Argentine School system has resulted in 80% of the people believing in the Malvinas Myth. But 20% not doing so is perhaps encouraging. If some decent Argentines could form an organization working for the “autodeterminación para los kelpers” it would be step forward.
