The Falkland Islands does not belong to Argentina.

Their noble “Malvinas cause” is to subjugate a people who do not want to be subjugated.

So, the people pursing this “noble” cause are not noble, but rather a bunch of delusional, lying, thieving rats.

No wonder the Falkland Islanders don't want to be associated with these ignoble lunatics.

So, we have a federal, provincial and now city Malvinas Islands Secretariat.

This is rapidly becoming a national industry, never mind cause.

An industry which no doubt costs a lot but produces nothing and indeed has no discernible effect whatsoever, on anything.

Well, if it makes them feel better then I suppose its money well spent.

Awww, this is wonderful! I do wish people like Bill Carmona, Alicia Castro, Danny Filmus, Gus Mellela and now this guy would get their fingers out and pay us a visit! They continually bang on about us but they never visit or canvass our opinion. They don't even reply to emails or on Twitter. They say they're our “governors” etc, but they don't actually do anything more than blow hot air out of their asses and create “initiatives”. Even if they just went to the ICJ it would be something of value.

Very useful a Secretariat of something they can't be Secretary of!
A good job if you can get it. Guaranteed nothing to do. Argentina has so much money and can afford all these public sector employees without even a place to put their office.

The “Malvinas Industry” with all its Secretariats, Observatories, Committees, Commissions &c, &c on federal, provincial and municipal levels must cost the Argentine tax payers quite a lot. What do they get for the money? Nothing but a lot of bullshit and hot air.

The term is “Ñoqui.”

If Arias focuses on the housing for veterans project it won’t be a total waste of money.
