Argentina Compares British Sovereignty over Falklands with Russian invasion of Ukraine

Left government of President Alberto Fernandez and his predecessor and current Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner maintained a close relationship with Putin’s regime, but voted in March in service of UN resolution condemning invasion of Ukraine.

She, in in particular, often used the islands as a central campaign topic. This week, lawmakers from her Peronist alliance even proposed renaming one of in main highways in Buenos Aires after the Malvinas Islands, Spanish name for Falklands.

Despite the resumption of diplomatic relations in 1990 Buenos Aires and London failed settle your differences over the islands that Argentina military junta invaded on April 2, 1982, before assignment force sent by the Thatcher administration, defeated the Argentine military.

BUT total of 649 Argentine and 255 British troops were killed. in 74 day war along with three of civilians in the Falklands.

Buenos Aires has been demanding reopening since then of negotiation over sovereignty of islands, referring to the 1965 United Nations resolution calling for on Argentina and the UK to settle dispute under of but global process to end colonialism in all its forms.

‘One of most militarized zones in in world’

Meanwhile, Britain refused to return to the negotiating table. instead insisting on the right of the 3,200 inhabitants of the Falkland Islands to self-determination. In the 2013 referendum they voted 99.8% in favor remain British territory.

Mr Carmona says what “interests” of the inhabitants of the islands must be respected, but the principle of self-determination “applies in cases when people tolerate the colonial process, not for these populations who are part of of colonial actions.

He also accused Britain of turning the Falklands into “one of most militarized zones in in world” founded on in one relation to two of 1,500 troops for the tiny civilian population of the islands population. Calling it “irrational”, he added: “It seems that the British government acts as if there were no democracy in Argentina.”

Almost unanimously, Argentines across the political spectrum support country claim on islands. It may have been the only thing that Montonero’s leftist guerrillas of 1960s and 1970s saw eye to eye on with hard right military dictatorship, says Carlos De Angelis, university sociologist of Buenos Aires.

But there is also word in argentine spanish, “malvinero”, for politician who is an overly nationalist or using the Falklands to score internal political points.

Because of your stupidity of in economy and appalling violations of human rights, the junta was already in serious problems when he invaded the Falklands. Initially move caused a tidal wave of euphoria in Argentina.

But the mood quickly changed against regime like Argentine forces, many of their ill-trained conscripts – like some of Russian troops in Ukraine today – the British defeated, leading to the collapse of the dictatorship and the return of democracy in 1983.
