”We are a peaceful people, and I think that in this day and age we need to have a grown up relationship (with Argentina), recognizing there is a difference over sovereignty, but we are neighbors and there are things that would be beneficial to both sides,” said member of the Legislative Assembly Roger Spink in an interview with GB news commenting on president Javier Milei s latest statements on the South Atlantic dispute.
On the 42nd anniversary of the start of the Falklands/Malvinas war, President Javier Milei pledged that during his term in office “we will have a roadmap so that the Malvinas Islands return to Argentine hands,” underlining that the South Atlantic Islands sovereignty claim is an includible mandate for all Argentines, but for this we need “a country with a vigorous and prosperous economy” and that respects its armed forces.
Taking advantage of the commemoration to honor the Heroes of Malvinas, Milei stressed the importance of a strong and prosperous economy, based on the concept of freedom to produce and trade and thus respected internationally, as the basis for ensuring that claims over the Malvinas sovereignty will be taken seriously, and with prospects of advancing. He said that a leadership that for decades only produced more poor people and made Argentina a serial defaulter, had no chances of being listened or considered.
