Millionaire kelp, Argentines who make homeland and heroes looking to close a wound

In Cada Mañana, journalist Gonzalo Sánchez recounted his trip to the Falkland Islands in commemoration of Veterans Day and fell in battle against Great Britain in 1982.

I was at the Malvinas 7 days. I flew out of Latam, which is the only one Argentina can take today. In the Malvinas, the world is very developed, the quality of life is very high, there is no insecurity, no corruption, no drug use. Education and health care are free. There are 2700 inhabitants.

Wealth has developed from the sale of fishing licenses. You move away from Puerto Argentino and you can see the workshops of the oil companies. Everything is future. They are perfectly connected to the world. The only thing to do is they do not have fiber optics, which is not less, but getting into a supermarket is like entering a supermarket in London.

They travel, come and go permanently in Europe, the government encourages them to travel. At the age of 16, many children go to London and those who return make him hyper-trained at 30.

There are six pubs, typically English. There is no element of Argentina, no more than Argentine music. Immigration to the island is provided by Chileans, Filipinos and Zinbawans, who have deactivated the mines.

Residents say the war saved them because they were not considered by the Crown. Yes, in a pub, there is a picture of Galtieri on the toilet lid. They receive 60,000 tourists a year who go on a cruise. There are sophisticated restaurants, two category hotels. It's a curious place.

On the other side, you have the Argentinian who makes a circuit that has more to do with the war. There are many veterans who go to the places where they fought, move the earth a little and find their pots. They can not touch them but everything is intact. There is a little book, which they distribute selectively, which is called Argentinian fiction against Reality. It's pretty shocking.

The Darwin Cemetery is the only Argentinean place on the island. There are now very few graves to recognize. The military presence has to do with the military base in the UK and has nothing to do with life on the islands. It's a strategic base. There is no militarized life. The police are walking without weapons. It's like a London police officer. They are strict in the respect of the rules, but the security forces are not present.

During my trip, a group of Argentines was about to run a marathon. In a certain way, the Argentines say that what we have to do is to get closer to know the city and the islands.

Four or five Argentines live in the Malvinas. There is one who was the guardian of the Darwin cemetery, married to an islander. and another Jehovah's Witness, also married to a native. Yes, no one wants to talk. They live very well, we now have a fishing business.

The link that Santiago of Chile is crazy. For example, primary health care is served on the islands. If this complicates the task, they will drive you to a private center funded by the island government and you will be in the hospital of Santiago de Chile in three hours.

Colin Roberts, the governor of the islands, is not an islander for the first time. He works with eight counselors, seven kelp and one Chilean. It meets once a week and the public can comment.

The islanders have a very critical look at the Kirchner: during the Cristina government, mail was cut and flights from Latam were problematic. Mauricio Macri is observed because he has held a speech to open commercial relations. They are waiting to see what happens.
