Cristina Kirchner did not lose much time. Mid-week Argentine President had resumed after her thyroid surgery just to work. And she buttoned at the opening in front of their favorite enemy: the British. “I heard that you gave us Argentines called colonialists. But at the United Nations reported today 16 colonies and ten of them belong to Great Britain. And the most symbolic colony are the Falkland Islands.”

Prince William will soon his service as a rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force take on the Falkland Islands. Since this announcement, the climate of the two wartime enemies of the past is so poisoned that London wants to strengthen the precautionary military presence on the islands.

The swipe at London comes as no surprise. The dispute between Argentina and Great Britain for the islands in the South Atlantic has flared up again. With consequences: pictures of angry demonstrators outside the British embassy in Buenos Aires during the evening news flicker across the screens.

And now also of royal visit has been announced. Prince William in a few days to begin service as a rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force – ironically at the Falklands. Although the imminent deployment of the most prominent of all British soldiers have been known for some time. But now the climate of the two former wartime enemies is so poisoned that London precaution will reinforce the military presence of the royal guest during the game.

The case shows that a few weeks before 30 Anniversary of the outbreak of war – the Falklands War lasted from 2 April to 20 June 1982 – the nerves are bright in both countries. For months, Argentina and Great Britain beharken with diplomatic evasions and political nastiness. Argentina recently imposed a ban against all vessels intending to enter with the flag of the Falkland Islands in South African ports. Buenos Aires was awarded support economic alliance Mercosur.

The UK in the Falklands capital Stanely again denied recently primarily with the Argentine cruise ship passengers traveling “Star Princess” an unscheduled stopover in the islands. On board before a gastrointestinal epidemic had broken out. Officially, the authorities justified the removal order to protect the health of the population want. In the Argentine media, the incident was still treated as a new affront to Buenos Aires.
