"As the rightful governor of the Malvinas Islands (I maintain), the defense of our sovereignty and our resources is a fundamental priority and we will not allow any action to endanger our rights," said Monday on Twitter. Government of Tierra del Fuego, Rosana Bertone, declaring that the government of Mauricio Macri "will evaluate the possibility of advancing in decisions referring to the area adjacent to the exclusive Economic Zone of Argentina", this which would involve "forming a fisheries organization organization recognizing Great Britain as a riparian state". At the discretion of the Governor, such a definition "would be catastrophic for our sovereign debt on the Malvinas Islands".

Bertone said these measures were decided at a meeting held on Friday, May 10 with the participation of members from different ministries, during which they badessed the progress made in the indicated aspects. "That's why I have instructed the Secretary of State to Question the Falklands (Fuguian Government), Jorge Arguello, to hold a meeting with the authorities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get answers. to this new advance that endangers our rights and our sovereignty over our islands. " confirmed Bertone by his tweets. In addition, he requested to hold meetings with the Parliamentary Observatory on the issue of the Falklands National Congress "in order to advance coordination and unity in defending our sovereignty".

The governor also blamed the so-called "Foradori-Duncan" agreement, signed in 2016 by the then vice-chancellor, Carlos Foradori, along with his British counterpart, Alan Duncan, who established that "measures "would be adopted to" eliminate all obstacles they limit the economic growth and sustainable development of the Malvinas Islands, including trade, fishing, navigation and hydrocarbons ". Bertone said on this occasion, eleven months ago, that "70% of the gross product of the islands depends on exports to Europe, and that 95% of these products are related to fishing. more complicated, are we going to help them?
