The tensions have brought together normally feuding Argentine political
sectors, with the opposition largely backing Kirchner’s position.
“The Malvinas requires that we take a new look and see Argentina fighting
as a whole,” said Federico Pinedo, leader of the right-wing Propuesta
Republicana bloc, in a radio interview.
But Petcoff Naidenoff, who heads the Senate opposition, said his group would
not be present because “we cannot accept a blind invitation from the
government because there is talk about the Malvinas, but we do not really
know what it is about.”
Both countries will soon mark the anniversary of the 74-day war which cost the
lives of 649 Argentine and 255 British troops.
London retained control and has vowed to defend the islands as long as the
inhabitants want to be part of Britain.
