Islas Malvinas: EU signs deal using Falklands’ Argentine name - eviltoast

Forty-one years after the Falklands war, the UK has suffered a diplomatic defeat over the archipelago as the EU appeared to endorse the Argentine name for the disputed territory, Islas Malvinas.

Brussels supported an Argentina-backed declaration referring to Islas Malvinas at a summit of EU leaders with Latin America and the Caribbean (Celac) leaders on Tuesday, which Buenos Aires called a “diplomatic triumph”.

    And let’s not forget that Falklanders were not allowed to vote on the Brexit referendum.

    Sounds like a good reason to want to leave the UK to be honest.

      True, but not necessarily to join Argentina, with whom they have very little in common and that already tried to invade once.
