Malvinas Islands' crest in all Tierra del Fuego sportswear and school uniforms
In anticipation of the 40th anniversary of the Falklands/Malvinas War, in 2022, the Argentine Tierra del Fuego province legislative passed several bills making it mandatory that all teams' sportswear in all the different competitions representing the province must have the Malvinas Islands crest, “and hopefully this initiative will also be implemented by other provinces”.

The only locals who appear not to understand this basic fact of life are a group of war veterans, a small bunch of nationalist fundamentalists, and practically the entire lot of Argentine politicians. Needless to say, however, in so doing the politicians are cheating and lying. The great majority of these politicians know that the Falklands will not be Argentine again, but they choose not to acknowledge this for fear of losing votes.”

Argentina's indoctrination of its children is a tragedy.
*The provincial Legislative also approved unanimously Bill 518/21, sponsored by all political groups disavowing the “illegitimate elections for the Legislative Assembly in the Malvinas Islands organized by the British government”.

Must be very reassuring for all those Argentines worrying about their finances in the face of an impending devaluation to know that their government has got school uniforms firmly under control. Dollars, pesos, who cares ? Let's ensure that all the kids have the right logo on their school clothes.

How many strange laws are they really creating in that country? it is mandatory to have certain marks on the school cloths, it is mandatory to put “Malvinas Argentinas”-signs on buses, it is mandatory sing certain songs (“Malvinas march”) after an event &c &c. How is that possible in a country calling itself a democracy? Forcing people and enterprises to pay for that propaganda. How much of their taxpayers' money are they really spending on “malvanizing”? How many persons are employed in all the Malvinas secretariats, observatories, committees, commissions &c? Perhaps some Argentine investigative journalists should try to calculate the “Malvinas Budget”. Money which could be beter used.
