Santiago Caputo, asesor presidencial del presidente Javier Milei, ha dicho que Argentina debe recuperar las Islas Malvinas porque el Reino Unido está siendo colonizado por el islam. En esa línea, consideró que la reivindicación sobre las Malvinas es ya una causa de Occidente, y no solamente nacional. La cuestión ha escalado porque Milei dio difusión en redes sociales al mensaje de su asesor, lo que ha tensionado la relación entre Argentina y Reino Unido. El mensaje no es nuevo. Donald Trump ya dijo antes que Caputo que el Reino Unido sería la primera potencia islamista con armamento nuclear. No debe de saber que Pakistán hace 54 años que posee armas nucleares.

No es la primera vez que Milei amenaza el Reino Unido con que quiere recuperar las Malvinas como sea. Espera que su amistad con Donald Trump lo haga apoyar el intento de recuperar las islas frente a un Reino Unido que, según el presidente argentino, está internacionalmente debilitado.

Sin embargo, si analizamos la situación de las fuerzas armadas argentinas, podemos ver que la situación no da para amenazas. Hay problemas en los acuartelamientos, donde faltan los bienes básicos para su funcionamiento. Con su salario, los soldados no llegan a final de mes, y tienen que encontrar trabajos alternativos como repartidores o taxistas. Por ello, han introducido subidas salariales. El gobierno libertario entró prometiendo seguridad y orden, y la situación de los cuerpos policiales y militares está peor que antes de que Milei llegara a la Casa Rosada.

La respuesta británica no se ha hecho esperar. El primer ministro, el laborista Andy Burnham, habló con el presidente Donald Trump, y le explicó que la voluntad de las Malvinas es seguir siendo británicas, con el respaldo de Londres. El presidente de la Asamblea de las Islas Malvinas, Jack Ford MLA, lo confirmó: no se plantean dejar de ser británicos. A su vez, el Ejército Británico se desplegó en un ejercicio para saber cómo actuar frente a una invasión, y reconquistar las islas como sucedió en 1982.

Fue en abril cuando el régimen militar encabezado por el general Galtieri tomó las Malvinas, un territorio que se apropió el Reino Unido hace siglo y medio. Aquello fue el principio del fin de la dictadura que sembró el terror en Argentina. Setenta y cuatro días después de la incursión argentina los británicos, que desplegaron la más poderosa flota desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial, recuperaron las Falklands, como las llaman. Hubo mil muertos, 700 de ellos argentinos.

El ministro británico de Exteriores, Ed Miliband, sostiene que los isleños tienen derecho a desarrollar sus recursos naturales como ellos consideren oportuno. Ha anunciado también nuevas medidas para garantizar que las personas y las empresas estén protegidas frente a las amenazas argentinas. El control de los recursos energéticos queda bajo protección británica.

Milei amenaza con una intervención militar en las Malvinas mientras los uniformados argentinos malviven"

No es la primera vez que Milei recurre la cuestión de las Malvinas para desviar la atención doméstica. De hecho, la Junta Militar usó la guerra de las Malvinas para desviar la atención de sus problemas internos. Enviaron a luchar a gente sin experiencia, ni formación. Ahora Milei amenaza con una intervención militar en las Malvinas mientras los uniformados argentinos malviven. Milei espera que Estados Unidos e Israel se pongan de su parte, pero es muy difícil que su apoyo vaya más allá de un golpecito diplomático a la espalda.

En conclusión, la supuesta expansión del islam en las Malvinas, y la consolidación de un gobierno islámico frente a Argentina, es la enésima declaración sin sentido que proviene de Casa Rosada, la sede del gobierno argentino. Apenas el 0,3% de los habitantes de la isla practican la religión islámica.

La necesidad constante del gobierno argentino de generar polémicas estridentes y tensionar el orden internacional es una muestra de la debilidad diplomática del país. Si recordamos el precedente de Venezuela sobre el Esequibo, podemos ver que la cuestión de un cambio territorial por la fuerza tiene escasos apoyos, incluso entre los amigos más cercanos.

On March 7, 2024, Cynthia Conforto’s cellphone exploded with calls. On the eve of International Women’s Day events, a sports journalist’s accusation of sexual assault against four Vélez Sarsfield players disrupted plans for 8M. Conforto had been in charge of the club’s Gender Department for only a few months; Vélez is one of the 30 clubs in Argentina’s professional league. The alleged incidents took place during a team training camp in Tucumán, about 750 miles from Buenos Aires.

The trip from the village of Iruya, in northwestern Argentina, to Buenos Aires Province can take several days. “The truck carrying fresh produce takes between 24 and 35 hours to arrive,” says Raúl Viveros, a member of the community Kolla Colanzulí of Finca Santiago. That is the effort required for the country’s largest market to sell the small potato-like tubers known as papines, which have a unique flavor and are produced by the first indigenous community to have been recognized by the state of Argentina.

Far-right Argentine President Javier Milei addressed the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 23, giving a speech which provoked strong reactions. The South American head of state also participated in a series of high-level meetings.

One of his most quoted lines from his New York City trip has been: “Argentina is the new promised land.”

This is not the first time Milei has used religious concepts and ideas from the Judeo-Christian tradition to explain his political stance, but it is the first time the Argentine president has equated his country, in economic and political terms, with the land of Abraham and his descendants.

This is even more telling when one considers Milei’s extremely close relationship with Israel and ardent defense of its policies of war and genocide across West Asia, as well as the admiration he professes for the Jewish religion.

Milei also emphatically underscored this during his address to the UN General Assembly: “We also made a geopolitical choice: we have unambiguously aligned ourselves with the West … We condemn the Iranian regime’s attacks on the State of Israel.”

And this is an indisputable fact. Since the beginning of his term, Milei has not only aligned himself with the geopolitical interests that the Trump administration has vigorously pursued, but has also become one of Israel’s staunchest allies in the region.

This is quite impressive, considering that President Noboa in Ecuador, De la Espriella in Colombia, and others have also expressed a kind of unwavering alliance with Tel Aviv.

That is why Milei has not limited himself to diplomatic rhetoric, but has pulled the strings of power to designate Iran’s main military force (currently in conflict with Israel and the United States) as a terrorist organization.

“We declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, just as we continue to seek justice for the two attacks we suffered on Argentine soil in 1992 and 1994,” Milei said at the UN, referring to two attacks in Argentina against the Israeli Embassy and the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA). The Argentine justice system, advised by Israel and the United States, identified Hezbollah and Iranian citizens as the perpetrators.

Free-market capitalism and Artificial Intelligence

Another topic Milei addressed during his appearance was his staunch defense of free-market capitalism in which the state plays a minimal role: “We do not want to lose again; that is why we embrace free-market capitalism.”

In this regard, Milei once again highlighted his government’s strong support for artificial intelligence companies and the tycoons behind them. It should not be forgotten that the Argentine government signed a working and information-sharing agreement with Palantir, whose co-founder, Peter Thiel, purchased a property on Argentine soil.

This is clearly part of Milei’s neoliberal agenda to attract investment from major foreign capitalists, among whom the owners of technology companies (who are so interested in resources such as lithium, copper, and others that abound in South America) currently stand out.

However, recent statements by former employees of these companies regarding the danger that the development of AI poses to humanity have created some unease around the world. But Milei says that this is precisely the time to move forward: “Prudence does not mean fear, and what’s more, fear should under no circumstances automatically lead to obedience … where many see a threat, we see a frontier.”

Criticism of the UN

Probably one of the most important aspects highlighted in Milei’s speech was his harsh criticism of the UN and its role in current geopolitics: “Today, unfortunately, it is time to acknowledge that this sacred pact has, in fact, been broken.”

But not content with merely pointing out the shortcomings, Milei asserted (very much in line with Trump) that the UN has become a venue for certain people to amass wealth: “It has become a useless organization that serves only to feed a caste of fatally arrogant parasites disguised as well-meaning bureaucrats.”

Hence, he asserted that resolutions ultimately have no real effect on policy. He cited the example of the Malvinas Islands, a territory disputed with the United Kingdom: “What good is a resolution if, for decades, the other party can act contrary to it, and that resolution remains intact in the archives but is powerless in the face of reality?”

Criticism of Milei’s speech

Milei’s statements, while applauded by his supporters, have drawn widespread criticism in Argentina. Much of the criticism has focused on the fact that Milei now seems to staunchly defend Argentina’s right to control the Malvinas Islands, whereas in the past he was cautious and even reluctant to adopt a patriotic stance against the United Kingdom – something both the Argentine left and right have done. “We’re surprised that Milei now remembers when he used to talk about self-determination,” said Axel Kicillof, governor of the province of Buenos Aires.

Likewise, critics pointed out the apparent contradiction in Milei’s rhetoric between extolling the right to self-determination and aligning himself with the interests of Washington and Tel Aviv: “Milei’s stance doesn’t surprise me. The truth is that this line of subservience—and I say this very clearly—is directed at Trump and Netanyahu. Even the terminology is consistent with what Trump proposed and his ideas on the deregulation of artificial intelligence, as well as his view that Argentina’s natural resources are available to anyone who wants to take them,” said Kicillof.

Regarding Milei’s economic rhetoric, Patria Grande leader Juan Grabois said: “Besides being an ignorant imbecile, besides being a lobotomized parrot who parrots Trump, besides plagiarizing Gramsci without knowing he’s “a filthy communist,” what Milei is saying is that we’re basically going to hand over our territory, critical minerals, energy, and national sovereignty to the technocracy.”
