00:00Veterans of the Malvinas War expressed skepticism about the announcements made by the Argentine
00:06President Javier Milley during a nationwide broadcast and demanded that his statements
00:10on the sovereignty of the islands be translated into concrete measures.
00:14Among the measures, Milley proposed sanctions against companies linked to oil exploitation
00:19on the islands, changes to legislations, the submission of bills to Congress, and strengthening
00:25Argentina's military presence with a new integrated naval base in Tierra del Fuego.
00:30Ramón Raúl, president of the La Matanza Veterans Center, indicated that the strategy is linked
00:35to U.S. policy and the pressure by President Donald Trump on the United Kingdom to increase
00:40its military spending.
00:42The debate comes at a time when Argentina is seeking to reinforce its diplomatic claim over
00:48the Malvinas Island on the British administration since 1833.
