"If disarmament begins tomorrow, I will help," said Juan Carlos Parodi in relation to the English radar.

The president of the Ushuaia Veterans' Center told the press: "If the dismantling of the British radar installed in Tolhuin begins tomorrow, he will go "to help. I'll pack my tools and go." He warned that due to the "weight" of the undertaking, "it could be complicated" and asked to know how it entered Tierra del Fuego.

Juan Carlos Parodi, President of the Malvinas War Veterans Center in Ushuaia.

In agreement with the Malvinas Islands War Veterans Center in Río Grande , the municipality of Río Grande, and the National Confederation of War Veterans of the Argentine Republic , the President of the Malvinas Islands War Veterans Center in Ushuaia, Juan Carlos Parodi , expressed his support for the Tolhuin municipality's decision to go to court to obtain legal authorization to "demolish" the radar of the British subsidiaries of LEOLABS ARGENTINA SRL.

“It was a good decision by the municipality to move forward with constitutional and legal tools. To move forward with what they could. We support them 100%, there's no doubt about it ,” he said in an interview shared Wednesday afternoon with the news site Pal'Sur .

Parodi's concern about the presence of the radar is not only felt by veterans, but by the vast majority of Tierra del Fuego society . As for interpreting the fact that even though the medium-voltage line " is disconnected (...), the issue is everything that the device installed there means."

"We know it's a strong company. The capital is strong. If they want the device to stay there, they'll keep pushing it by whatever means they find," he reasoned.

Although from his point of view , " the most difficult thing is how did it get in? The unfortunate thing was how did it get in? Look, no one wanted to take responsibility until we put pressure on them ," ponders the war veteran, who last year at the April 2nd event, raised with the governor the need to remove the antenna field that constitutes the device . An issue that was reiterated on this 43rd anniversary of the war, Malvinas War Veterans and Fallen Memorial Day, by the mayor of Ushuaia, Walter Vuoto .
