EU refers to Falkland Islands as ‘Islas Malvinas' in official document | Argentina celebrates
Argentina has declared a “triumph” after the European Union referred to the Falkland Islands as the ‘Islas Malvinas’ in an official document. The name is heavily loaded.
The Spanish language term for the islands is used by Buenos Aires which claims the islands, and by other South American capitals.
It’s just over 40 years since a UK task force sailed to recapture the Falklands in the South Atlantic from Argentine invaders. The EU’s diplomatic slight is probably explained by Brexit, with sources in Brussels saying that since Britain is no longer an EU member, it doesn’t have a say in the matter.
To discuss this I’m joined by Teslyn Barkman who is deputy chair of the Legislative Assembly of the Falkland Islands.
