In an act of colonial servility that outrages the Argentine people, the national deputy of the Left Front, Romina del Plá, starred in an abhorrent episode of betrayal to the homeland by openly calling our "the Falklands" as Malvinas Islands. During her legislative intervention, the communist leader lashed out at the harsh penalties that the Government of President Javier Milei imposes on the pirate oil companies in the South Atlantic.
In an attempt to justify her rejection of sanctions against foreign usurpers, Romina del Plá launched an insolent jab at the private sector by asking: "Are they going to ask for sanctions against Galperin, who has shares in companies that manage the businesses of the Falklands?".
Such an anti-patriotic provocation received a crushing denial from the national State. Through its official channels, the Official Response Office of the Nation countered and exposed the falsehood of the leftist legislator by declaring: "FALSE. THEY ARE CALLED MALVINAS ISLANDS. The deputy of the Left Front, Romina del Plá, referred to the Malvinas Islands as 'the Falklands' in her intervention in the Congressional committee that deals with the National Sovereignty Defense Bill. This is FALSE. The Malvinas Islands are called Malvinas. In all languages."
Furthermore, the unfounded accusation against businessman Marcos Galperin was formally dismantled, clarifying that Romina del Plá's fallacy was based solely on the fact that certain international investment funds that hold minority stakes in the oil company Navitas Petroleum also have portfolios in Mercado Libre, one of the 70 largest companies in the world. In fact, there is no corporate, commercial, or operational link between Marcos Galperin and the clandestine firms operating in Malvinas, just as Mercado Libre does not register any activity in the archipelago.
