In 2007 Nestor Kirchner, the country's then-president, cancelled an oil-and-gas agreement with Britain and banned energy companies active in the islands, which Argentina calls the Malvinas, from operating on the mainland. With the war's 30th anniversary falling in April, the tradition has been upheld by Cristina Fernandez, Mr Kirchner's widow and successor, who is due to step aside for 20 days on January 4th 2012 in order to receive treatment for thyroid cancer. On December 20th she got Argentina's partners in the Mercosur trade block--Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay--to declare that they would ban civilian ships flying the Falklands' flag from entering their ports. new Mercosur policy is the latest in a string of small diplomatic victories for Argentina, which is keen to regionalise what has always been a bilateral dispute. Mercosur already does not welcome in its ports British warships on Falklands duty. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
