As an Argentine, I’d say that the issue of the Malvinas is much more than just what the islanders think or want. The conflict isn't based solely on the opinions of the people living there; it's about a historical, legitimate claim to sovereignty that Argentina has had for over 180 years. The Malvinas are considered part of Argentine territory according to UN Resolution 2065, which acknowledges the sovereignty dispute and calls for peaceful negotiations between both countries to find a solution.
Furthermore, it’s important to understand that decisions about the sovereignty of a territory shouldn’t depend solely on the wishes of its inhabitants, but also on international law principles and the territorial integrity of the countries involved. When it comes to historical justice and politics, Argentina has the right to claim the islands.
It’s true that there’s a complicated relationship, but the claim over the Malvinas is deeply rooted in Argentina’s national identity. And as President Milei has said, we will continue to fight to reclaim the islands because they are part of our history and our sovereignty. I recommend that you don’t approach a local about the Malvinas issue in that way, as it’s a very sensitive topic.
