In a new chapter of extreme gravity, which insidiously attacks the claim for sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands and the independence of the Nation as a whole, at the request of the Legislative Assembly of the usurping British colony, the airline Latam has omitted the official name of the Ushuaia airport, "Malvinas Argentinas," from its website and from its air tickets to the Malvinas Islands .

The situation arises during the first stopover scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, September 13, between Santiago de Chile, Punta Arenas, Ushuaia, and Monte Agradable Airport —in the island territory seized by the United Kingdom—as a result of the repairs to the Río Gallegos Airport runway and the change of stopover time until the completion of the works.

The controversy is further intensified by the fact that the decision to stop in Ushuaia was not simply a logistical adjustment due to repairs to the runway at the Río Gallegos airport, but also a unilateral decision of the illegitimate Legislative Assembly.

The government of the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and the South Atlantic Islands has known this since the moment the Ushuaia stopover began appearing on the flight to the Malvinas Islands; but it has maintained a rather conspicuous silence. Even though the colony's media outlets, such as Penguin News and MercoPress , promoted the triumph of the Kelpers' will, celebrating the change of stopover and the veto of the airport's name "Malvinas Argentinas."

An attack on the sovereignty and independence of the Nation

The omission of the full name of Ushuaia Airport is not a minor detail . The name "Malvinas Argentinas" is a symbol of national sovereignty and a constant reminder of an unwavering struggle, also a permanent tribute to the heroes who died in the 1982 war. By demanding that the name not appear in LATAM records, the Legislative Assembly of the British colony demonstrates its power of decision and its contempt for the history and the claims of the Argentine Republic.

While other airports around the world that operate with Latam, such as Punta Arenas, are mentioned by their full names , Ushuaia has been silenced, in an act that goes beyond the merely logistical.

Without a doubt, this event clearly demonstrates that the will of the settlers prevails over the silence of the Argentine and Tierra del Fuego authorities.
