Following the meeting at the Ex-Combatant Center in Ushuaia, Commission No. 7 met at the Río Grande War Veterans Center, where the Malvinas leadership reiterated its support for moving forward with an investigative commission to determine the responsibilities for the installation of the radar with British capital in Tierra del Fuego.

The Legislature's Commission No. 7 , headed by Federico Sciurano , moved last Wednesday the 22nd to the Malvinas Islands War Veterans Center of Río Grande , where the sovereignty agenda promoted by the members of the Malvinas Ex-Combatants Center in Ushuaia , at the meeting on Wednesday the 8th of this month, was ratified point by point.

The stance of the veterans of Río Grande is not new, but their official reaffirmation of the need for an investigation and for those responsible for the radar installation to be identified is a powerful statement against the secrecy maintained by Gustavo Melella's administration . It's worth recalling that back in 2023, the Río Grande Veterans Center had already submitted a formal communication to the local City Council demanding explanations about the radar.

Today, that will joins with that of their counterparts in the capital, consolidating a front that neither the Executive Branch nor the Provincial Legislative Branch can ignore or fragment.

The request to be "Part of the Truth"

One of the most significant points of this latest meeting was conveyed by legislator Pablo Villegas, who reported that the Ushuaia veterans not only want to support the request for the creation of the investigative commission, but have also asked to be part of it. The veterans will not accept a closed-door or merely bureaucratic investigative commission. They have requested to be full members of said commission so that it has the seriousness, thoroughness, and transparency that the people of Tierra del Fuego and the entire country demand.

To pretend that their presence guarantees that there will be no backroom deals or cover-ups that protect the officials and actors responsible for allowing the installation of the British-Irish antenna field in Tolhuin.

Radar as the cornerstone of comprehensive sovereignty

As in Ushuaia, the meeting in the northern region addressed the urgent need for educational programs (Laws 817/10 and 27,671) and the defense of natural resources against fishing and oil exploitation. However, the LeoLabs case has become a symbol of the violation of national security in Tierra del Fuego.

The ball is in the Legislature's court

The message from veterans across the province is unanimous. This is no longer a dispute between opposition and government legislators; it is about fulfilling a patriotic duty demanded by those who gave their lives in 1982.

The Legislature now has a historic opportunity to demonstrate whether it is up to the task of representing its constituents or whether it prefers to continue protecting those who facilitated the sovereign leak in the heart of the Island.
