The voyage of the former combatant Alejandro Diego to the Malvinas Islands on board the sailboat Caoba caused a strong controversy after, like Javier Milei, he stated that he admired Margaret Thatcher . As if that were not enough, he proposed a model of autonomous government for the population established by Great Britain in Argentine territory.
Diego publicly praised Margaret Thatcher's leadership , practically using the same words that the current president used some time ago. It is worth noting that the British Prime Minister was the one who ordered the sinking of the General Belgrano Cruiser during the 1983 war . The attack was carried out outside the exclusion zone , violating international regulations and ending the lives of 323 Argentine crew members .
Accompanied by Sigfrido Nielsen and Pablo Leoni , the ex-combatant Alejandro Diego arrived a few days ago to the Malvinas Islands, having left from the port of Mar del Plata . Recently, in a conversation with the national press, he expressed his desire to establish a dialogue with the population established in the islands in an attempt to promote " peace " and " harmony " between Argentines and English .
His proposal for an autonomous government model for the Malvinas calls for joint participation by Argentina and Great Britain in matters of defence and foreign relations . He also suggests that the Kelpers should be represented in both the Argentine Congress and the British Parliament . Of course, the motion has already sparked criticism and rejection .
This initiative not only goes against Argentine sovereignty in the South Atlantic , but also legitimizes the current status quo , where usurpers illegally exploit all the resources of the region and militarize the area with the largest NATO base in the South Atlantic.
The idea of building a country that attracts the Kelpers , as proposed by Diego , ignores the fact that these islands are the legitimate property of the Argentine Nation due to history and geography , usurped by force by Great Britain , taking into account that the population installed there is the result of a colonial policy .
The proposal to approach the population of the Malvinas , as if it were a neutral space free of the scars of war , ignores the deep roots of the conflict and the desire of a large part of the Argentine population to recover the islands .
The Malvinas War was not just a battle for a piece of land , but a turning point in Argentina's national identity that continues to resonate in the collective memory . Amnestying the past and presenting it as an obstacle to peace can obscure the sacrifice of those who fought for our sovereignty .
Diego 's words regarding a union between Argentines, British and islanders may seem like a call for peace , but deep down, his proposal for a pragmatic approach to the conflict suggests an inappropriate surrender to history .
This vision , although in its essence it seeks dialogue , runs the risk of trivializing the sacrifice of those who fell and the struggle to see an Argentina strengthened in its claim .
At a time when the memory of the heroes of Malvinas should be defended with determination, Diego 's words are presented as a loss of direction that opens the door to interpretations contrary to sovereignty and national identity .
Argentina needs a firm and categorical voice to defend its position in the South Atlantic, not complacency or negotiations that could dilute the memory of those who fought and died for a cause that is still alive in the hearts of their compatriots and that is among the most relevant mandates of the National Constitution .
