Buenos Aires, January 5 (RHC)-- The president of Argentina, Alberto Fernandez, has rejected the British occupation of the Malvinas Islands, which -- in this words -- "should embarrass the whole world" in the framework of the 190th anniversary of the usurpation of the archipelago by the United Kingdom.
During an event in which a commemorative monument built by the Tandanor Shipyard was inaugurated in front of the Libertador Building, the president said that this space "reminds us of the right and obligation we have." The Argentinean leader said that the claim of sovereignty and territorial integrity "is something that should call the attention of the most powerful in the world, because in the 21st century that an act of colonialism of this nature is manifested should only embarrass the world."
"The homeland is not going to be absolutely integrated, as long as those islands are not definitely Argentinean. Malvinas unites us, and this is absolutely so, and in that claim there are no partisan differences," said Alberto Fernández.
At the same time, the South American head of state emphasized that the British government uses the archipelago as "a propitious scenario to arm itself in the South Atlantic, where war has no place."
Finally, Fernandez concluded by expressing that Argentina aspires to the territory in favor of the country's development, because "Argentineans who gave their lives for those lands stayed there and we want that land so that your struggle has not been in vain."
