The retired colonel of the Argentine Army and veteran of the Falklands War Guillermo Lafferriere supported the project of National Sovereignty Defense Law promoted by the Government of Javier Milei, whose discussion will begin this Wednesday, September 30, in the Chamber of Deputies.
Lafferriere, a master's degree holder in Geopolitics and a specialist analyst in armed conflicts, considered that one of the most relevant points of the initiative is the modification of the current National Defense scheme. His background includes participation in the Falklands War with the 25th Infantry Regiment.
“I think it's good,” the veteran responded when asked about his overall assessment of the project. He also stated that the current legislation responds to a conception that has become outdated in light of the transformations experienced by international conflicts over the last few decades.
In this regard, he questioned the widespread assertion that Argentina has no conflict hypotheses and pointed out that the current legislation itself assigns responsibilities to the Government in this area. He explained that for decades the country maintained a regulatory structure designed before the fall of the Soviet Union and the emergence of new forms of confrontation.
