History shows that Argentines tend to make use of our sovereignty only when it suits us, and when we do not pretend not to notice. It happened with the BSE or mad cow disease in 1996: Argentina always considered itself free of the dreaded disease, even though there was a detected and confirmed case on national territory, with a bull imported in the Falkland Islands. In that case, it was convenient to continue calling them just the Falklands (irony). With a huge distance between both cases, but the same philosophy, the Senasa (National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality) has just confirmed the first case of the Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) on... Martín García Island.
