What a great job that is, getting well paid for doing nothing other than pushing flags around a map on an imaginary island,

Without doubt, a sinecure.

Will she be the first one to actually come and tell us all the great things we miss about Argentina? Will she actually try to learn about the Falklands instead of spouting utter rubbish like her predecessor? Thought not.

Yet another sign Milei isn’t interested in the Malvinas myth. A minister looking at Argentinas fisheries and the impact to the region islanders is far more sensible than dribbling on about made up fantasies in 1833.

“to reduce the ideological focus of her appointment”.

Interesting phrasing, not going to go down well with the likes of poor Malv, to him it will sound like treason.

‘no effective actions that would help better control fisheries resources of Malvinas, and its adjoining waters’.

Well to be fair, there were no actions he could take with respect of the Malvinas waters.

‘Adjoining waters’ is another matter altogether.

”wall of fishing vessels to impede squid slipping into the Falklands EEZ”.

A blockade and actually an act of war, where fishing vessels make great target practice, not the most practical or sensible idea.

We shall see what this secretary of other people’s territory is like in practice.
