Through Twitter, the secretary of Malvinas , Antarctica, South Atlantic and International Affairs of Tierra del Fuego, Andrés Dachary ; expressed the discontent of the provincial government, after the President of the Nation Javier Milei not only traveled without notice or invitation to the Argentine Antarctic sector, but also launched cooperation activities between Argentina and the International Atomic Energy Agency , to the control of plastic pollution on the white continent.
“With the signing of agreements on environmental matters in Antarctica, the fundamental role of the province is unknown. And this here or in any other province requires the presence of local officials. In our case, the environment secretariat of Tierra del "The call is fire, regardless of whether or not it is politically aligned ," said Dachary this morning, in dialogue with Agenda Malvinas . And he added: “ It is a share of ignorance, of ignorance of officials who have not accepted the existence of the Greater Province.”
Regarding the presidential visit to #Antarctica - in which we were not involved to establish any coordination - the systematic non-observance of the laws that define the territorial spaces of our province is worrying 🧵 pic.twitter.com/NmZo0rFqjw

On the same topic, yesterday night through Twitter, the official had warned about the total lack of participation of Tierra del Fuego officials to establish “coordination” of the launched program, and complaining about “the systematic failure to comply with the laws that define the territorial spaces of our province.” A fact that evidently exceeds this management and goes back to successive national governments.
“And this was evidenced during Javier Milei's announcements on environmental issues, which are legitimately part of our administration. It is clear that Antarctic governance is complex, but there is constant denial from the different national governments - without distinction of political sign. - to the Fuegian jurisdiction in the area of the Antártida Argentina Department.
Both the Question of the #Malvinas Islands and #Antarctica are State policies for the entire political arc of Tierra del Fuego and that is why we must continue working together to reverse this trend of trying to relativize the provincial role that, in addition to being illegal, ends up being absolutely counterproductive to our own national interests,” added the Fuegian secretary.
