It is an “unnecessary provocation by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. His warmongering speech is offensive to our democracy, ”the official attached to the Argentine Foreign Ministry wrote on his Twitter account.
“If you want to visit Argentine territory due to internal political problems, there are diplomatic channels for this purpose,” he remarked.

Carmona, in another tweet, argued that “recurring in nineteenth-century colonialist practices in the 21st century is backward.”
“The British government must comply with international law that imposes on Argentina and the United Kingdom the obligation to find a negotiated solution to the Malvinas issue,” said the secretary, who concluded his tweet with the label: #LasMalvinasSonArgentinas.
Johnson, during an act for British veterans of the 1982 war, said that those forces “liberated the Malvinas Islands”, according to his testimony, from an Argentine “occupation by a military junta”. “They achieved what many thought impossible,” he said and said that he could pay a visit to the islands, whose sovereignty is claimed by Argentina.
