The Argentine authorities have decided to denounce the agreement with Great Britain on activities in the Malvinas Islands (the British call them the Falkland Islands). This was reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Argentina.
Argentina signed an agreement with the United Kingdom in 2016, when Mauricio Macri was president of the country. Since then, the political course of Buenos Aires has undergone changes. Now Argentina intends to return to the issue of the country's sovereignty over the islands.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Argentina assesses the broken agreement as "harmful" because it harms the interests of the country in the direction of ensuring sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands. The UK received a special note from Buenos Aires, which stressed that the agreement was aimed at realizing only British interests and was offensive to the national sovereignty of Argentina.
In Buenos Aires, apparently, they are not going to abandon the Malvinas Islands. The rupture of the agreement serves as a signal to the UK that the conversation about the Malvinas Islands is not over. In the decades since the British-Argentine conflict, Great Britain has significantly weakened militarily and economically. Moreover, London is now very distracted by the Ukrainian conflict.
This gives Argentina an opportunity, if not right now, to try to regain control of the Malvinas Islands, then at least to demonstrate its readiness for such actions in the future. It is not for nothing that the Secretary of the Argentine Foreign Ministry for the Malvinas Islands, Antarctica and the South Atlantic, Diego Carmona, announced the transition of the country's authorities to promote the restoration of sovereignty over the islands.
