Chancellor santiago cafiero across British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, James Cleverleyfor sovereignty over the Malvinas Archipelago after European Union allow the words “Malvinas Islands” to appear in the closing documents of his meeting with Latin American and Caribbean Community (Celac).
Cleverly, in alliance with the British government, argued Twitter: “Falklanders have the right to choose their own future. 99.8% of Falklanders choose to be part of the UK family.” “Argentina and the EU must listen to their democratic elections,” the official demanded.
Meanwhile, Cafiero reminded him that the United Kingdom “has violated the territorial integrity of Argentina for 190 years” and according to “United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1514, self-determination does not apply to the population of Malvinas”.
On the other hand, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Sunak Receipthas questioned the European Union and considered it “unfortunate” that the document on the Malvinas released this week during a meeting with CELAC listed the name “Malvinas Islands” and not “Falklands”.
The British Prime Minister criticized the European Union for its “regrettable choice of words” after a document with the name “Malvinas Islands” was officially released.
British diplomats called on the EU to “clarify” its position, after the Argentine government celebrated the event as a “diplomatic victory”.
This week on the occasion of a meeting between the EU and Celac, where the president Alberto Fernandes and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, a joint declaration was agreed in which the Malvinas Question was discussed for the first time.
“The Prime Minister’s view is that it is completely unacceptable for the EU to question the right of the Falkland Islanders to determine their own future. To be clear, the Falkland Islands belong to the UK, it is the choice of the Falkland Islanders themselves. The EU rightly clarifies that its position on the Falkland Islands has not changed after their regretful choice of words,” the UK said.
The spokesperson insisted that 99.8% of the islanders who took part in the 2013 referendum had voted to retain the Falklands’ status as a British overseas territory.
Part of EU-CELAC summit declaration It read: “On the issue of sovereignty over the Malvinas/Falkland Islands, the European Union notes the historical position of CELAC based on the importance of dialogue and respect for international law in the peaceful settlement of disputes.”
Cafiero had assured this Wednesday that he hoped to “further expand the dialogue” with the EU on the Islands issue “from this declaration”.
“This joint declaration is a further call from the international community for Britain to accept its obligation to continue negotiations on sovereignty with Argentina,” said the Foreign Minister.
