In a further provocation that reinforces its illegal occupation of the Malvina Islands, the British colonial government has issued a recruitment call for the Malvina Islands Defence Force (FIDF) . The measure, published today by Mercopress , seeks to incorporate local civilian personnel into a militia operating under London's command, thus consolidating the military presence on Argentine soil.

The announcement, disguised as an invitation to "serve the community," reveals the occupying power's intention to strengthen its security apparatus on the islands, which it has illegally controlled since 1833. The FIDF , a corps of volunteer reservists, is fully funded by the colonial government, with a commander-in-chief who is none other than the British-appointed governor himself.

The call-up is not a one-off event, but rather part of a long history of militarization of the Malvinas . The Malvinas Force (FIDF) , which originated in 1847, has served as a local arm of the British armed forces in global conflicts, from the Crimean War to World War II.

The Mercopress publication, which details the call, describes the FIDF's role as a body that, in collaboration with British forces, "ensures the defense and security of the Islands." This, from Argentina's perspective, is a justification for the continued presence of a military base in the South Atlantic, which represents a threat to national sovereignty and regional peace .

Benefits and indoctrination

The Mercopress report also mentions the "benefits" of joining the FIDF , such as "professional careers" and "combat training." These promises reflect an attempt to indoctrinate local residents, urging them to actively participate in the occupation's military structure.

The recruitment of civilians for military purposes in the Malvinas is a clear reminder that, despite calls for dialogue and diplomacy, the United Kingdom continues to opt for the path of militarization and usurpation . Argentina, for its part, reiterates its commitment to the peaceful recovery of the islands, as established in its Constitution and United Nations resolutions.

Sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia Islands, the South Sandwich Islands, and their maritime areas is a matter of state for the Argentine Republic, and any measure that reinforces British occupation is a direct provocation to peace and security in the region.
