The Provincial President reflected that "189 years after that vice of origin and genesis of the illegal British presence in our Islands, a fact that Argentina never consented to and that both today, and then, was protested and where our country offered its solution by different peaceful methods; "We reaffirm our inalienable right to live in peace throughout the territory of our Province, which contains in its jurisdiction our Malvinas Islands, South Georgia Islands, South Sandwich Islands and the corresponding maritime and island spaces."

That is why he assured that in the 21st century, “we urge the United Kingdom to abandon its colonial attitude and comply, once and for all, with the mandate to put an end to colonialism in all its forms that the United Nations has imposed on all the States of the world, and in this way recover effective exercise over our usurped territories and heal a wound that continues to be as painful and expensive for the Argentine people in general and for the Fuegian people in particular as it was 189 years ago.” He recalled that “that usurpation, without prior notice, and existing relations of and without any reason, the United Kingdom appealed to the crudest use of force to satisfy its old colonial pretension abandoned in the second half of the 18th century and thus occupy our Malvinas Islands. ”. “Our heroes, with great strategic vision, knew perfectly well the importance of this region.

Not for nothing did one of the first acts of government of the First Board have to do with the Malvinas. A decade later, when our country was able to give it the necessary attention, Argentina took official possession and raised our national flag for the first time on the Islands in front of to ships and captains of various nationalities; “an act that was widely covered and publicized throughout the world, including in the Times of London.” It is worth remembering that for almost a decade Argentina carried out countless acts of sovereignty over and around the Islands: concessions of land, livestock, appointment of authorities, among others. Perhaps one of the most transcendental, and which demonstrates the importance that said territories had for the national Government, was the sanction of the first law relating to the rights to fishing and amphibian hunting products on the Patagonian coast with the objective of regulating said activity and avoiding the depredation of resources due to the excesses committed. by foreign ships.

However, four years before the violation of our territorial integrity by British forces, Argentina had established an administrative framework in accordance with the importance of that part of the national territory.On June 10, 1829, by decree, Argentina created the Political and Military Command of the Malvinas Islands and Adjacents to Cape Horn in the Atlantic Sea and appointed Luis Vernet as Political and Military Commander of that great jurisdiction, who had given more than enough proof of the worth of those sectors of the young Homeland.

“Probably, if the British act of force had not been carried out, violating the international law of the time, our Province would have its capital in the Malvinas Islands,” considered the legitimate governor of the Malvinas.

This Command, whose political and administrative center was in the Malvinas Islands, had jurisdiction, in turn, over Tierra del Fuego and the maritime spaces. This was the first antecedents of our Province. “Probably, if the British act of force had not been carried out, violating the international law of the time, our Province would have its capital in the Malvinas Islands” he considered. Argentina had demonstrated the viability and potential of the Islands and had been the first nation in the history of the Islands to appeal for the first time to the establishment of a civilian population and to bet on its human development. According to reports at the time, more than 300 people had passed through the Argentine establishment and more than 150 lived peacefully on the Islands. where the laws of the Republic governed and were respected. The Argentine authorities were concerned about maintaining excellent relations with the native populations of the region and helped those sailors who crossed the stormy Atlantic Ocean, providing assistance, even in our Georgia Islands of the South. It was London who, upon seeing the strategic potential of the Islands and the advances that Argentina had achieved with great effort, put an end to the greatest population development of the Islands in their then more than three centuries of history.Thus, violating international law and the territorial integrity of a nation with which it maintained friendly relations, the United Kingdom inflicted a deep wound in the heart of our new Republic and, in the words of the representative of the brother people of Bolivia, it was about an act “offensive and too injurious to all the American republics.”

Appealing to its military superiority, the British government expelled the legitimate Argentine authorities established there and the Argentine population residing there.
