Falkland Islands

"The persistence, I can say, and the stubbornness with which the West is introducing its 'rules' is astonishing. It is clear that there is a domestic political context - we need to show voters that they are cool guys in foreign policy towards 'authoritarian opponents' ahead of another election cycle (they are in the US every two years, they should succeed)," Lavrov said.

Recent reports suggest Argentina is looking to make a renewed bid to gain control of the Falkland Islands, as Britain pushes forward with its Brexit plans.

Rogelio Frigerio, the Minister of Interior Affairs, said: “We will never cease to claim what belongs to us. Not one single day of our lives are we going to let our arms down.

Brexit looks set to unleash a new scenario in the Falkland Islands, the remote archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean currently held by Britain that Argentina claims under the name “Malvinas.”

Falkland Islanders did not support Britain’s exit from the European Union in last June’s referendum, but they must face its consequences.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - After attempting to break completely with his predecessor Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's policies on the Malvinas/Falkland Islands and take a softer stance, Argentine President Mauricio Macri has earned criticism not only from political opposition but even from within his own government.

The Falkland Islands on March 29 rejected Argentina's claims that a maritime border judgment by U.N. experts had strengthened its hand against Britain in their dispute over the South Atlantic territory.
