Apr 02nd, 2023 - 08:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is not clear to me who is the author of this article. If another writer is re-iterating sentiments expressed by Pichetto, where is that writer's name?
Apr 03rd, 2023 - 03:21 am - Link - Report abuse 02nd to last paragraph, 1st sentence is referring to Pichetto, which seems to indicate it is not Pichetto who penned these words.
I'm surprised Wænk hasn't commented yet. He would have a field day digging up counter quotes and whinging about how these remarks are the blatherings of some “Engrish turnip pirate” or someone! I saw this article yesterday and remarked elsewhere that this is an incredible article. I believe the author is probably Uruguayan.

Apr 03rd, 2023 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse -3The author of this article should be informed, Argentina existed before the arrival of the islanders to the Malvinas Islands, they expelled its inhabitants, men, women and children, violating our territorial integrity and our right to self-determination.
Question for the author of this article, which country did the United Kingdom recognize in 1823 and 1825?
Malvinense 1833- Do please check in your Argentine Naval Archives- same list of names as is in the British Navy Archives for 3rd January 1833 there it listst clearly the
Apr 03rd, 2023 - 11:52 am - Link - Report abuse +3names of the United Provinces Militia and their women etc who had onlt been at Port Louis a few months, who were indeed ordered out by the British Navy( and the TWO Civilian couples 1 Uruguyan and 1 Brazilian who left the Islands of their own free will.
Also all the names of all the other civilian s who chose to stay and accept British Rule, and British Law- of their own FREE choice as invited to do so by the British.
If you still refuse to believe Truth and Facts - then make a visit over here to Stanley Cemetery where you will find the grave of the last of those original settlers- and Argentine lady who volunteered like all the others, to accept British Rule and Laws - who final died here in the 1870s.
Argentina did not even exist in 1833 - it only came into being in the 1860s and 1870s after your ancestors had liquidated most of the indigenous inhabitants of the whole of Patagonia.
My ancestors had been here in the Islands for 2 generations before Argentina as it is today even existed.
Do try and get the recorded international facts right for a change
1833 stop lying, you have been given the facts time and time again about the MULTI NATIONAL business venture that had failed led by a German and a Brit, nothing to do with Buenos Aires but a private operation, the only people forced to leave the islands were your brutal raping murdering soldiers, who were warned in advance twice not to go, violating our territorial integrity another lie, but you know that, cut al the B S and you go to the ICJ and see how you get destroyed in a court of law, you are worse than Donald Trump,

Apr 03rd, 2023 - 12:08 pm - Link - Report abuse -1- You arguing that...: “Argentina did not even exist in 1833”...
Is as futile and over-elaborate an argument as...
-Me arguing that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland did not even exist before 1927...
Capisce...?
Britain did not recognise Argentina's de jure existence until 1850.
Apr 04th, 2023 - 12:53 am - Link - Report abuse +2Most other European nations waited until 1863.
I have even seen Roca described as 'father' of the Argentine nation. Where was he in 1833?
Great Britain, however, has been around since 1707.
... NOT the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”..., copper... ;-)

Assuming neither get Nismanated before the fight.
“Argentina existed before the arrival of the islanders to the Malvinas Islands, they expelled its inhabitants, men, women and children, violating our territorial integrity and our right to self-determination”.
Apr 08th, 2023 - 11:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Malvinense, back again with the same “proven to be lies” nonsense.
No inhabitants were expelled...none
Argentina tried to claim sovereignty of the islands in October 1832, Britain warned the attackers would be evicted, they were. A handful of inhabitants (none of them Argentine) chose to take the ship back to the mainland.
That's it.
