The controversies of Diana Mondino at the head of the Foreign Ministry
In May of this year, Mondino toured with the Secretary of Finance, Pablo Quirno. In China, where they were with the objective of negotiating the swap with the Asian country, the now former chancellor had an unfortunate statement when referring to the investigation into the Chinese base in Patagonia: ”No one detected that there were military personnel there; yesWith Chinese, they are all the same.
”An inspection has already been carried out at the Chinese and European Space Stations. It was the same team for both and over the course of a week, those teams did not notice anything strange. What we are going to do is form Argentine science and technology or research teams that can take advantage of those resources. Because in the Chinese base you can use not only the equipment, but for a certain amount of time. And Argentina was not using that,” he had begun.
Then, when asked about the military personnel at the base, he declared that “No one, no one detected that there were military personnel there.” And that was when he added the controversial statement: ”Those who were involved in the investigation did not identify that there were military personnel. “They are Chinese, they are all the same.”

Later, in the month of July, he was involved in a tense encounter with a group of Paraguayan journalists, who They had asked him about the relationship between President Javier Milei and his Brazilian counterpart Lula Da Silva. The official reacted and noted: “You have to learn to do serious work.”
The sayings of the Chancellor in the Summit of Presidents of Mercosur in Assumption They quickly went viral on social networks and were condemned. Even the hosts of the local news program that aired his statements, when they returned to the floor, considered that his response was “arrogant” and “unpleasant.”
“You have to learn to do serious work. It’s not a rigorous question.you need to have a minimum of intelligence to evaluate it,” Mondino said after being asked about the link between the leaders.
In that line he responded: “How can there be enmity between two people who still they have not had the chance to meet?”, he questioned and remarked: “The relationships between people They are different from the relations between States“he concluded.
The controversy with the Malvinas Islands
On October 23, the Ministry of Defense published a release where called the Malvinas Islands “Falklands”just as Great Britain does. The “error” occurred in a text about the meeting that the chancellor had Diana Mondino with Gilles Carboniervice president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), to discuss the resumption of a humanitarian project to identify remains of Argentine combatants who fell during the 1982 war.
In it release they had named “Falklands/Malvinas Islands” when they explained that the meeting had the objective of resuming negotiations on the Third Plan of the Humanitarian Project, aimed at identifying the Argentine combatants who fell in the Islands “during the South Atlantic conflict of 1982.”
When the criticism began, they corrected the statement erasing Falklands from the text. Later, they directly deleted it from the official website of the Ministry of Defense.

Furthermore, Mondino was criminally denounced for the crime of “failure to fulfill the duties of an official” and “abuse of authority” by the agreement with the United Kingdom signed in September that consists of reestablishing the regular flight from São Paulo (Brazil) to the Malvinas Islands, with a stopover in the province of Córdoba, which had been suspended.
The agreement relaunches the weekly trip that departs from São Paulo (Brazil) to the Islands, with a monthly stopover in the Argentine province of Córdoba. “Nor is the tenor of what was “announced – agreed – communicated” a minor issue since issues relating to our sovereignty are discussed, it is dealt with another Nation with which the conflict and claim is still valid; and it is about our territory in dispute for continuing to be usurped, MALVINAS,” indicated the lawyer.
The complainant maintained that the Mondino-Lammy statement issued by both foreign ministries “under the guise of a “press release or joint statement” attempts to hide the fact that it is actually an Agreement or Agreement of Understanding, and as such, in light of Art. 75 of the CN, should have been dealt with by the National Congress.”
She was harshly criticized by the vice president Victoria Villarruelwho had said that the agreement “proposes providing continental logistical support to the occupation and actually allowing them to continue depredating our seas.” And he said: “For what? To go visit our islands with a visa and passport? “Do they take us for fools? They obtain material, concrete and immediate advantages, while they offer us crumbs as emotional consolation and weaken our possibility of negotiation,” the vice and head of the Senate of the Nation had expressed in her X account.
