The Chancellor of Argentina, Diana Mondino, reaffirmed Argentina's sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, emphasizing that "The Malvinas are, were, and will always be Argentine, we are working to recover them." This occurred within the context of an official statement that was later removed from the Government's website.
The statement mentioned a meeting between Mondino and the Vice President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Gilles Carbonier, aimed at promoting negotiations for the Third Plan of the Humanitarian Project, focused on identifying Argentine fighters who died in the Malvinas Islands.
The term "Falklands" was used instead of Malvinas Islands in the original text, which generated criticism and controversy. The cancellation of the official document was due to this diplomatic error that had repercussions in the Senate's Foreign Relations Commission during a session.
Senator Pablo Blanco requested Mondino's appearance to clarify the situation. The Foreign Ministry denied the issuance of a statement with the term "Falklands" and attributed it to a "malicious version published on the Government's website."
Official sources described the error as "flagrant," and investigations are underway to identify the responsible party and take disciplinary measures. Chancellor Mondino expressed determination to defend Argentine interests and assured that actions would be taken against any actions that threaten them.
