“It was an ignorant and dumb outburst”, said acting president Amado Boudou

"A simple historic fallacy about colonialism, added Boudou in reference to British Prime Minster’s comments on Argentina’s stance on the Malvinas Islands

Boudou added that there are still vestiges of past colonialism in Africa, Asia, America".

Everybody knows how the United Kingdom acted with colonialism. There are signals and consequences in every continent of what colonialism did to those people, the subjugation, and it saddens us to listen to this fallacy and outburst, Boudou said, when asked about Cameron’s comments, in which he accused Argentina of colonialism.

The former Economy Minister recalled that while in the past, many differences among Latin American nations originated in the inappropriate meddling of a foreign colonial power, “to day is a time of unity for Latin America, working all together in Mercosur & Unasur".
