Loyalty to the command. For the soldiers of the 25th Infantry Regiment (RI 25) , Mohamed Ali Seineldín is the leader who was with them in the mud, who ate the same food they did, and who led the recapture of the islands. A loyalty forged under fire in 1982 is what today erects a wall against the arrival of Nicolás Kasanzew to Chubut territory.
April 2, 1982, Nicholas Kasanzew interviews Lt. Col. Seineldin; from the park of the residence occupied by the British governor.
The Chronicle of the Conflict
The trigger was the formal invitation from provincial deputy Fabián Gandón for the current Director of the Malvinas War Commission of the Senate to participate in the official events on April 2nd . What was intended as an institutional tribute quickly transformed into a focal point of resistance.
Since the news broke, a document has been circulating widely among veterans of the 25th Infantry Regiment . It's not just a political disagreement; it's a matter of unit honor . The veterans allege that Kasanzew , in his role as "official chronicler" and in his subsequent statements, has politically challenged the authority of their regimental commander, crossing an ethical line that the soldiers are unwilling to forgive.
Puerto Madryn: A territory with its own memory
The choice of location for this visit adds tension to the situation . In a province like Chubut, where "The Day Madryn Ran Out of Bread" is a landmark of popular identity, the arrival of a figure who represented the dictatorship's media presence is seen as a provocation.
The soldiers of the 25th Regiment are not only questioning Kasanzew ; they are also targeting local political management. They criticize the fact that, while high-profile media visits are funded, the health situation and genuine recognition for veterans in the province remain a secondary concern.
