The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, has evaluated the recent statements of his Argentine counterpart about the Malvinas as an expression of the lack of sovereignty over the archipelago, after Javier Milei declared that “that territory today is in the hands of the United Kingdom” and British Chancellor David Cameron “has every right” to visit him.
“They put a puppet – the surnames, the oligarchies -, imperialism put a puppet in Argentina and is giving it the Malvinas,” said Maduro during the last broadcast of the program ‘Con Maduro +’. “If Milei intends to turn all of Argentina into a colony because she declares that the Falklands are British, there would be a way to respond here, but we are in children’s hours,” he added.
Finally, in relation to his Argentine counterpart, the Venezuelan president stated: «Milei, what you are is a tremendous traitor, you bastard. I hope the spirit of San Martín, of Juan Domingo Perón, of Evita, of Diego Armando Maradona comes out like a ghost at night and doesn’t let you sleep.
Milei stated in an interview with the BBC that the negotiation regarding the Malvinas Islands “could take years” and assured that Argentina is not “seeking conflict” with the United Kingdom. She also again praised former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
According to Milei, the dispute over sovereignty must take place within the “framework of peace”, so it is necessary to raise “an adult discussion between two countries that have a lot in common and have an element of discord.” “Obviously it is not an instant solution, but it is a solution that will take time,” she reasoned.
