HORZONTAL DENTRO DE NOTA  - 700x80 SUPERIOR

The submission of the Argentine armed forces to the US agenda violates its defense law.

The agreement for a “multilateral coalition” against narcoterrorism must be approved by the National Congress. By redefining military missions, the Executive Branch is effectively violating National Defense Law 23.554 and Internal Security Law 24.059, which expressly prohibit the Armed Forces from intervening in internal conflicts.

Argentina's Defense Minister, Carlos Presti; behind the United States Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth; during the signing of the pact against "narco-terrorism".

The government of Javier Milei has taken an irreversible step toward the foreign takeover of national security policy . Under the leadership of Defense Minister Carlos Presti , Argentina has signed an agreement at the headquarters of the Southern Command (Florida, USA) that integrates our Armed Forces into a "multilateral coalition" against narco-terrorism. This agreement is not mere cooperation; it is a strategic shift that compromises the country's autonomy, violates fundamental laws, and diverts the focus of national defense toward foreign conflicts .

1. The End of Autonomy: Armed Forces at the Service of the Southern Command

The heart of this pact is the operational integration of Argentine military personnel into a multinational force led by Washington. Under the concept of "burden sharing," Argentina commits to contributing personnel and resources to intervene in what the United States defines as "narco-terrorism."

This deployment has very serious consequences:

2. The strategic capitulation: Drug trafficking yes, Malvinas no

While the government invests time, energy, and the training of its personnel in a war dictated by the Pentagon, the void in the defense of its own national territory is absolute. Argentina is a country with 1.6 million square kilometers of territory usurped by Great Britain , but the National Defense Plan seems to have vanished.

It's a glaring contradiction : the same state that sends its military to Florida to plan the fight against the cartels has no plan for training, re-equipping, or deterring British colonialism in the South Atlantic . The direction is clear: the Argentine Armed Forces have ceased to be the nation's shield against foreign invaders and have become an auxiliary security force for Donald Trump's agenda.

3. The background of the crisis: Empty barracks and poverty wages

This pact of submission is signed on the ashes of an institution that the government itself is dismantling from within. For this "auxiliary force" scheme to function, the state has sacrificed the dignity of military personnel.

A pact behind the back of the Constitution

The "Doral Pact" is nothing more than a surrender agreement. It's a remastered version of the National Security Doctrine of the 1970s . Because it wasn't approved by Congress, it lacks democratic legitimacy . Argentine military personnel are being used as "cheap labor" for a border war that isn't ours, while we effectively relinquish control of the Argentine Sea and sovereignty over our Malvinas Islands.

A country that does not train its men to recover what is its own, but offers them to patrol what is not its own, has ceased to have a defense policy and has instead adopted a policy of colonial subordination.
