The news article analyzes the political and economic situation of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas). The author argues that the governance of the islands is a deliberate mechanism of colonial control constructed by the United Kingdom. This mechanism combines legislation, education, media, and public policies to produce a loyal 'Kelper' subject, historically disconnected from Argentine memory and prepared to naturally reproduce the British narrative. British citizenship, legislative structure, and democratic rhetoric are not concessions of sovereignty but instruments to reinforce metropolitan dominance under a veil of legitimacy. The author details the role of institutions like the Legislative Assembly, the Falkland Islands Company (FIC), and the influence of the electoral system, which is designed to filter the electorate and maintain a homogeneous, pro-British political body. The author concludes that the political regime of the Falkland Islands is not a genuine democracy but a hybrid system of limited self-government, corporate economic control, and military presence, designed to project international legitimacy while ensuring effective domination from London.
