Milei advisor revives Malvinas claim, cites UK 'colonized by Islam'

Santiago Caputo, a top advisor to Argentine President Milei, posted on X that recovering the Malvinas/Falkland Islands is fundamental because the UK is 'being colonized by Islam.' This rhetoric marks a sharp escalation in Argentina's sovereignty campaign, introducing a religious-cultural framing that deviates from the standard legal-historical argument. The claim is unsubstantiated and likely aimed at domestic political audiences, but it could strain UK-Argentina relations and complicate diplomatic efforts.
