Para la intelligentzia -cultora de la zonzera madre de todas las zonzeras- la civilización siempre estuvo fuera del país real. Sarmiento y Alberdi quisieron cambiar al pueblo, lo negaron y abogaron por rellenar el gran espacio con sajones, porque entendían que las masas criollas eran la barbarie. Hoy Cristina les recuerda a Cameron que "su civilización" con la que militariza nuestra región, se desplaza en "cuatro patas" :
"Vamos a plantear fuertemente esta militarización del Atlántico Sur porque, si algo vamos a preservar además de nuestros recursos naturales, es, precisamente, una región donde la paz impera, donde hemos tenido conflictos y no hemos necesitado de la mediación de ningún organismo internacional, los hemos resuelto entre los propios sur americanos...Yo quiero, simplemente, pedirle el Primer Ministro inglés que le dé una oportunidad a la paz, que alguna vez le den una oportunidad a la paz y no a la guerra..." "Esto tiene que ver con una de las políticas de Estado, pilares, que hemos sostenido a partir del año 2003, y que es precisamente la de memoria, verdad y justicia; en este caso agregaría estos tres valores del conjunto de la sociedad, el de democracia y soberanía" "Democracia que es nada más y nada menos que los gobiernos que surgen de la voluntad popular, expresados a través del voto libre y sin proscripciones" Esta Presidenta no fue a la plaza de su pueblo, en Río Gallegos, el 2 de mayo, cuando sí fueron muchos habitantes de mi ciudad; si estuve en esta Plaza de Mayo el 14 de junio, accidentalmente estaba en Buenos Aires y concurrí, junto a miles de argentinos a expresar nuestro repudio por lo que pasaba. Hago esta leve digresión para evitar confusiones, malos entendidos, malas interpretaciones y peores analogías..."(recordemos que Ernesto Tenembaum la comparó con Galtieri) discurso completo acá
Argentina to denounce increased 'militarisation' of South Atlantic
President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner made the announcement at the Latin American Patriots Hall in the Government House.
In a much hyped speech, President
Cristina Fernández announced on live television that Argentina would be
filing a formal complaint before the United Nations General Assembly and
the UN Security Council over the alleged increasing “militarisation” of
the South Atlantic region.
Fernández de Kirchner said that she would invite opposition leaders to take part in the next United Nations Decolonization Committee, scheduled to take place on June 14th, the day that marks the 30th anniversary of the Malvinas War.
After revealing the reason for her press conference, which had been shrouded in secrecy, the President told British Prime Minister David Cameron to “give peace a chance.”
As the anniversary of the Malvinas War nears, the Head of State criticized that “they are exhausting natural resources without any sort of environmental control and this could cause an environmental disaster.”
During her speech, she also announced the creation of the mental health hospital “Islas Malvinas,” which would treat war veterans and would function in the former Military Geographical Institute in Buenos Aires.
She closed her speech by thanking militants listening to her speech in the nearby balconies of the Government House and saluting those who were killed in the war.
“On behalf of every Argentine, honour and glory to you all,” she stated.
After her speech, a Foreign Office spokesman said that "the people of the Malvinas Islands are British out of choice. They are free to determine their own future and there will be no negotiations with Argentina over sovereignty unless the islanders wish it."
Malvinas "has become a regional cause. A global cause, because once again they are militarising the South Atlantic."
"No matter how much good will we have, there's no other way for us to
interpret the deployment of a destroyer ship and the arrival to the
islands of Prince William, who we would have liked to see wearing
civilian, not military clothes," she said.
That is why the President instructed Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman
to file a formal complaint before the UN General Assembly and the
Security Council against the United Kingdom over the militarization of
the area.
The complaint comes in response to the recent deployment of the
British destroyer HMS Dauntless and the arrival of Prince William to the
Malvinas, which was labeled as “routine” by the UK government.
Speaking before Government officials, governors, opposition leaders,
war veterans and Kirchnerite activists, the President said that she
would take her complaint to the UN General Assembly too because in the
Security Council “some powerful countries use their seat to deepen a
problem instead of solving it.”Fernández de Kirchner said that she would invite opposition leaders to take part in the next United Nations Decolonization Committee, scheduled to take place on June 14th, the day that marks the 30th anniversary of the Malvinas War.
After revealing the reason for her press conference, which had been shrouded in secrecy, the President told British Prime Minister David Cameron to “give peace a chance.”
“I would like to ask the British Prime Minister to give peace a chance. Give peace, not war, a chance for once,” she stated.
She added that the Malvinas cause “is no longer an Argentine cause. It has become a Latin American cause, a global cause.”
“That is one of our major achievements,” she stressed.As the anniversary of the Malvinas War nears, the Head of State criticized that “they are exhausting natural resources without any sort of environmental control and this could cause an environmental disaster.”
During her speech, she also announced the creation of the mental health hospital “Islas Malvinas,” which would treat war veterans and would function in the former Military Geographical Institute in Buenos Aires.
