Milei adviser invokes Islam in Argentina’s Falklands sovereignty push

Santiago Caputo, chief adviser to Argentine President Javier Milei, has used the election of Sagal Abdi-Wali to Britain’s parliament to support Argentina’s claim to sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, according to The Guardian.

In a social media post shared by Milei, Caputo portrayed the election as evidence that Britain was becoming Islamic and characterised the UK as a threat to the west.

Caputo suggested Argentine control of the south Atlantic islands was needed to prevent interference by what he described as an Islamic state. The Guardian reported that he is taking a prominent role in Argentina’s Falklands strategy.
