German Bundestag fines AfD MP over left-wing MP’s own clitoris remark

Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP Martin Reichardt has been fined for correcting a vulgar, factually incorrect remark made by a left-wing politician regarding her own anatomy in the German Bundestag.

The left-wing politician who initiated the explicit rhetoric faced no disciplinary action whatsoever – “not even a call to order”, according to the written objection Reichardt lodged against his own penalty.

The controversy dates back to a heated plenary session on March 19, 2026, which was focused on sexual abuse and violence against women. The debate was held to mark International Women’s Day.

During the debate, Kathrin Gebel, an MP for the left-wing Die Linke (The Left) party who took her seat in 2025, accused the AfD of using women’s rights to push an anti-immigration agenda.

When Reichardt interrupted her via verbal heckling from the floor, Gebel launched a highly explicit counter-attack.

“Mr Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings – and yet you are even more sensitive,” Gebel told the chamber.

At the time, mainstream media outlets and broader left-wing commentators widely celebrated the vulgar jibe, praising it on social media platforms as a historic parliamentary “burn” against the right-wing opposition.

Though the scientific basis of the attack was flawed and Gebel’s anatomical figures were completely wrong, as modern anatomical research indicates the clitoris possesses upwards of 10,000 nerve fibres. A 2023 study by Oregon Health & Science University, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, counted an average of 10,281 nerve fibres in the glans clitoris – the first such count in humans.

Gebel was subsequently forced to upload a video acknowledging her factual error.

In an Instagram post she apologised for “talking sh*t”.

“The clitoris doesn’t have 3000 nerve endings at all – it has 10,000,” she corrected herself. “But it’s not so unusual for someone to be ignorant about the clitoris. Because the fact that we represent the clitoris correctly in medical textbooks at all is actually quite new.”

She claimed it is an example of women’s health being neglected.

Gebel also said “I would never, never call Martin Reichardt a ‘pussy’ or compare him to a vulva.”

“Because the vulva is an incredibly strong organ. It is extremely stretchy, it can withstand a lot. And my point was that Martin Reichardt can’t do that.”

On October 15, during a parliamentary debate on family policy in which four opposition motions on single parents, child poverty and maternity protection for the self-employed were tabled, Reichardt used his time at the podium to formally return fire, hitting back at Gebel’s erroneous data.

“You have been very helpful to me — you with your unqualified intervention, and you with your lack of knowledge about your own clitoris.”

Reichardt said he had done no more than highlight a factual error on a subject Gebel herself introduced to the floor. The reaction from the house leadership was swift and asymmetric.

Bundestag Vice-President Andrea Lindholz, of the Christian Social Union (CSU), who was chairing the sitting, immediately intervened, bypassing standard warnings to hit Reichardt with a formal fine. Under the Bundestag’s rules of procedure, such a penalty is set at €1,000, rising to €2,000 for a repeat offence.

Reichardt lodged a written objection the same day, arguing that his words were a factual observation and that he had used the term only because Gebel had aimed it at him first.

On October 16 the Bundestag rejected that objection without debate. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the CSU, the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Greens and Die Linke all voted to throw it out. Only the AfD backed him.

Further fuelling accusations of institutional bias, Bundestag President Julia Klöckner (CDU) took to the floor on the same day to defend the enforcement.

In doing so, Klöckner appeared to introduce an entirely separate political grievance out of nowhere to justify the punishment.

“I want to say very clearly: something like this aligns itself with accusations thrown at women here in parliament that they are childless. We are in the year 2026. Women and men have equal rights!”

“In the future, we will immediately punish this with a fine if people talk so disrespectfully with and about women.”

Nazi madness is becoming increasingly unbearable – now it’s the turn of the gyms!

GROK

Fitness, muscle-building, discipline and a sense of community – what for millions of people is simply part and parcel of sport is now also being cast into the shadow of the Nazi past. Extremism researcher Julia Ebner draws parallels between the sporting culture of certain far-right groups and the Hitler Youth.

The case raises a fundamental question: must everything that certain social or political circles find objectionable today inevitably be linked, sooner or later, to Nazism? Not every traditional notion is a throwback to the past. Not every sense of community is an expression of extremist sentiment. And not every well-toned physique is a reference to the 1930s.

Anyone who is constantly on the lookout for historical parallels will eventually find them everywhere – if only because, even during the Nazi era, people participated in sport, started families, belonged to clubs and went about their daily business.

After all, when even a weight bench has become the starting point for a debate about the Hitler Youth, the question eventually arises as to whether Nazi tendencies really are lurking everywhere – or whether some people are now primarily training one thing above all else: their ability to spot them everywhere.

There seems to be hardly any area of society left that is safe from historical comparisons with the Nazi era. Whether it be political attitudes, traditional gender roles, certain forms of community spirit or notions of masculinity – references to that period are sometimes made with astonishing speed. And the further back that ill-fated era lies, the quicker these comparisons are made. Now it seems that fitness is also in the firing line

In her book From Fitness to Fascism: The Dangers of Extreme Masculinity, the Austrian extremism researcher Julia Ebner examines the links between the cult of the body, ideals of masculinity and far-right movements.

In an interview with the magazine *Der Spiegel*, she explains:

“The fitness and martial arts culture of some radical movements bears clear parallels to the fitness and combat exercises of the Hitler Youth in the 1930s.”

At first glance, this statement is aimed at certain radical groups. But Ebner goes even further. In her view, the far right has, in a sense, ‘hijacked’ or ‘co-opted’ fitness culture – particularly martial arts culture, as she puts it. The left and liberals must therefore reclaim this ground. This will certainly be no easy task for the ‘let’s fight tonight’ left, for what must be going through the mind of a left-winger or Green if they take seriously their comrades’ current desire to become ‘fit for war’ or ‘capable of defence’?

Perhaps the bewildered would-be warrior might take comfort in the fact that discipline, physical strength and team spirit are neither right-wing nor left-wing traits. They form part of the foundations of many sports, and people have been training for a wide variety of reasons for a long time – even long before the Nazi era.
The Hitler Youth was no ordinary sports club, but an organisation of the National Socialist regime whose remit included, amongst other things, the political indoctrination and pre-military training of young people. The key difference, therefore, does not lie in whether someone does push-ups, lifts weights or practises martial arts, but in the political objectives being pursued through these activities.

The pathological search for parallels with Nazism is, however, a social phenomenon that extends far beyond the world of fitness. One increasingly gets the impression that certain phenomena can no longer exist without being linked to Nazism. Except, of course, in the case of the current warmongering aimed at crushing the Russians – there are, naturally, no similarities with the Nazi era.

Report: 70% of Moroccans that Invaded Ceuta Claim to be ‘Gay’ in Asylum Requests

Seventy percent of the asylum requests filed by the illegal migrants that invaded the Spanish exclave of Ceuta are now alleging persecution on the basis of their recently discovered homosexual orientation, a new report states.

Unnamed sources from Spain’s National Police disclosed to the newspaper ABC on Friday they have detected a not-so-discrete shift in how the invading migrants are trying to seek asylum in Ceuta.

Initially, and during the first month of the invasion, the migrants reportedly claimed alleged economic reasons in their asylum applications — including, but not limited to, claims of “not having a job or wanting to seek a better life in Spain.”

However, the tactic appears to have shifted in recent weeks from economic reasons to allegations of persecution in Morocco based on their claimed sexual orientation. Per the newspaper, 95 percent of the total asylum applications filed by the invading migrants come from Moroccan nationals, with all other nationalities collectively representing the remaining five percent.

Islam is the largest religion in Morocco with more than 99 percent of the population adhering to it.

The sudden surge in sexual orientation persecution claims has reportedly prompted authorities to believe that the migrants are receiving some form of “advice” by third-party entities on what steps to take to achieve their goal of staying in Spain. The Spanish National Police reportedly suspects that unspecified non-government organizations may be behind the alleged “advice.”

As of mid-October, at least 19 known asylum claims are publicly known to have been granted to migrants that invaded Ceuta — five of which were confirmed by the police to have been on alleged sexual orientation persecution claims.

In total, asylum applications presented by the invading migrants reportedly have a 99 percent rejection rate, according to the information disclosed to ABC. A minor, 0.1 percent of all Moroccan “asylum seekers” have further taken their case before the National Court.

A denied asylum application, however, does not translate into the immediate deportation of the migrant from Ceuta or Spain, as the individual must be officially notified by authorities — a procedural step that, according to the newspaper, has led to migrants abandoning the refugee center they were housed in, hiding in mountains, neighborhoods, or even in homes, making it harder for the police to determine their whereabouts.

Per the police sources, it is believed the alleged asylum seekers “circulate among themselves” any information and motives that they believe will have the better chances towards a successful asylum application.

Asked for comment on the matter, a spokesperson from Spain’s Unified Police Union (SUP) told ABC that the organization is concerned over the sudden shift in the asylum applications and is aware that such tactics are being circulated.

While this cannot in itself prove “generalized fraud,” SUP noted that all corresponding verifications must be reinforced, emphasizing asylum is a benefit that must only protect those who actually suffer persecution and not become a pathway to bypass migration laws through the use of false statements.

Additionally, the police union called for more resources and specialists to expedite the processing of the asylum applications, stressing, “Because there’s no point in denying a request if the person then disappears and the police can’t locate them.”

ABC pointed out that while sexual relations between individuals of the same are in fact punished by the Moroccan Penal Code with prison time and this may lead to plausible grounds to seek asylum protection in Spain, “it is not enough to just say you are homosexual” to be granted asylum.

“It is not essential to have already been the victim of an assault or an arrest, but there must be a sufficiently substantiated risk,” ABC stressed.

Such cases, the newspaper explained, are assessed by Spanish authorities who determine whether there is in fact a well-founded fear of persecution based on sexual orientation if a so-called asylum seeker applicant were to return to Morocco. Verification involves a series of interviews overseen by police ofifcers and extensive questionnaires that can un as long as “15 pages.”

“The Office of Asylum and Refuge reviews each case. Specialists assess the consistency of the account, personal circumstances, possible threats or acts of violence, any documentation provided, and information about the situation in the country of origin,” the newspaper explained. “They may also request clarification when there are significant contradictions.”

Numerous instances of large numbers of migrants suddenly presenting asylum requests on alleged sexual orientation persecution are not a new phenomena, but rather, a frequently recurring practice across several European nations.

As Breitbart News pointed out in September, hundreds of migrants from Pakistan have made similar allegations to request asylum in the United Kingdom under the purported claim that they had to flee from their homeland because they are “gay.”

In April, a report from the BBC revealed the existence of a “shadow industry” helping migrants pretend to be gay to substantiate their asylum applications in Britain, alleging a purported persecution on basis of their sexual orientation back at home.

Farage: releasing the mother of Henry Nowak’s killer is “an insult to decency”

Police Handouts

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has condemned the planned early release of the woman who hid the knife used to murder Henry Nowak, calling it “an insult to decency”.

Kiran Kaur, 53, was jailed for three years in July for assisting an offender after removing the weapon used by her son, Vickrum Digwa, to kill the 18-year-old student. She is due to be freed this December under Labour’s early release scheme, around the first anniversary of Henry’s death.

“The mother of Henry Nowak’s murderer is set to be released early this December thanks to Labour”, Farage said. “That would be one third of the way through her sentence. This is an insult to decency.”

Henry was walking home from a night out in Southampton when Digwa fatally stabbed him before falsely claiming that the teenager had racially abused him. Believing his killer’s account, police arrested and handcuffed Henry as he lay dying, despite his repeated pleas that he had been stabbed and could not breathe. The officers’ failure to provide immediate first aid is now under investigation by the police watchdog.

Digwa was subsequently jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years, while his mother received three years for taking the murder weapon home to obstruct the investigation.

Kaur, an Indian national, is eligible for the government’s deportation scheme, however no decision has yet been taken on whether she will be removed. She is also appealing against her three-year sentence, with a hearing scheduled for early November.

Her expected release comes as Labour frees thousands of prisoners to ease overcrowding. Around 650 were released this week, following 700 earlier this month.

Farage demanded that Kaur face the full consequences of her crime: “She disposed of the murder weapon. She should serve her sentence in full and then be deported.”

NAZA, the perfect anti-Israel propaganda: In the words of Soviet writer Sergei Dovlatov, “progressive humanity demands of Israel a noble suicide”

‘Naza’ writers: Yuval Abraham & Rachel Szor. Wikimedia Commons, LucaFazPhoto, CC-BY-SA-4.0

by Giulio Meotti

The New York Times, which apologized and had to remove after publication an unfortunate sentence from an article on NAZA (the sentence was: “Israelis continue largely to see themselves as victims of October 7″), is the only misstep in an operation chiselled to perfection, with the pro-Palestinian communications machine running at full speed.

The documentary by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, in which anonymous voices accuse Israel of genocide, is a kind of “Merchant of Venice” with the IDF in place of Shylock. The creditor who becomes the executioner. Premiere it at one of the world’s most prestigious festivals and show it to a handful of journalists, film critics and celebrities already aligned with political correctness. Late entry into competition: NAZA is announced in Venice on 24 August.

“Not bringing it would have been cowardly,” says the director of the Venice Film Festival, Alberto Barbera.

Win a prize. Beat the applause record. Spark a chorus of enthusiastic reviews that denounce “Israeli genocidal policy.” Make sure Israeli politicians and military officials condemn it, with some ministers evoking the loss of citizenship for the two directors. Present that condemnation as further proof of the film’s courage. Ignore Hamas’s enthusiasm for the film as an embarrassing detail; the Israeli condemnation exhibited as further proof of truth.

Thus, once fixed on the big screen, a myth is much harder to dismantle. Now the documentary is hailed in the world’s movie theaters.

Venice was the perfect stage.

Last year it was “The Voice of Hind Rajab” that received a standing ovation of 23 minutes and 50 seconds, later sold to the press as “the longest in the history of film festivals.” The film does not take viewers to Gaza, but to Ramallah. The story unfolds in the offices of the Palestinian Arab Red Crescent. We do not see the Gaza neighbourhood from which Hind’s family was fleeing. We do not see Israeli forces, Hamas terrorists, the tunnels, the evacuations or the warnings. The tragedy is severed from the events that precipitated it. The war becomes an abstraction. Responsibility lies only with the Israelis, who are never named. The Jewish State exists only as a faceless, voiceless presence: an invisible force, pure evil.

Meanwhile Gal Gadot and Gerard Butler had to give up being seen in Venice. The former because she is Israeli, the latter because he raised funds for the Israeli army. It seems that about a hundred Italian pro-Palestinian Arab actors and directors did not want to see them in Venice and asked that Gadot and Butler be boycotted. No scandal.

Then NAZA arrives.

24 and a half minutes of applause, just enough time to surpass “The Voice of Hind Rajab,” with director Barbera watching the clock waiting for NAZA to set the new record. Meanwhile Susan Sarandon at 79 donned the clothes of victimhood (“I am excluded from Hollywood because I am pro-Palestinian”).

The Guardian, a British newspaper with a glorious past and an ideological present, is the film’s main producer and will now stream it for free. The same Guardian that hosts articles by Marwan Barghouti: serving five life sentences in an Israeli prison not because he dreams of “peace,” but because he ordered the killing of many Israelis in the Second Intifada. Since 2 January 2001, the day it published an article by Faisal Bodi titled “Israel has no right to exist,” the Guardian has made anti-Israelism an editorial badge of honour.

And here the producers of NZA enter the scene.

They are the director of the highly awarded “The Zone of Interest,” Jonathan Glazer, and his producer, James Wilson. On Oscar night, Glazer caused a scandal by saying he did not want his own Jewishness and the Holocaust used to justify Israel’s war against Hamas. In NAZA coinciding with Israel’s commemoration of the anniversary of the Holocaust, we see the façade of the Tel Aviv Cinematheque and the programme that includes “Shoah,” Claude Lanzmann’s masterpiece.

Shortly afterwards, one of the military figures who all appear in shadow in the film recalls a trip to Poland with his family to honour the memory of his ancestors who were exterminated and then says: “The Nazis were the devil, but what am I?”

A refined blow. The Shoah is not denied: it is used as a mirror for Israel. There is no need to erase Auschwitz. It is enough to reflect it onto Israel.

But Lanzmann, who died in 2018 in Paris, was one of the filmmakers most committed to Israel’s defence and also made a five-hour documentary titled “Tsahal” on the Israeli army.

The analogy with “The Zone of Interest” is taken up by Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi in an article published on 12 June this year, referring to an advertisement by actress Gwyneth Paltrow for a residential complex in Herzliya. The thesis is that Israeli civilians living eighty kilometres from Gaza are complicit in Nazi-style evil.

Also involved in NAZA is +972 Magazine, an Israeli far-left outlet which has received grants from the Open Society Foundations every year from 2018 to 2024, totalling $562,900. George Soros’s Open Society has always been aligned against Israel. It is not a conspiracy. It is an ecosystem. This does not prove that Soros and the Open Society financed NAZA.

But the funding and the context are not irrelevant. Apart from reader donations, over the years the magazine that produced NAZA has also received funding from foreign foundations linked to progressive causes (“How we are funded” on their site is very transparent), such as the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and the Heinrich Böll Foundation. The latter is linked to the Green Party in Germany.

Let me repeat: It is not a conspiracy, it is an ecosystem.

This year a film financed by Qatar (a financier of Hamas) through the Doha Film Institute, “La Maison du Vent,” instead won the Lion of the Future in Venice. Of more than eighty films in contention this year on the Lido, eight were projects supported by the Doha Film Institute. And here we return to NAZA. Because James Wilson, one of the producers of NAZA and Jonathan Glazer, its executive producer, are also the producers of “The Voice of Hind Rajab,” financed by the Doha Film Institute.

It does not matter that Israel dropped seven million leaflets on Gaza, made more than seventy thousand direct phone calls, sent more than thirteen million text messages and left more than fifteen million pre-recorded voice messages to inform civilians of the need to leave combat zones, indicating where to go and which route to follow, or that it used drones equipped with loudspeakers.

None of this matters to those who accuse Israel of “genocide.” Who built the tunnels? Who occupied them? Who stored weapons there and held innocents hostage? Who declared that the tunnels were meant for fighters rather than civilians? Not relevant.

The twenty-five minutes of applause for NAZA were not for the film: they allowed Venice’s cultured and well-off audience to reassure themselves of their anti-Zionist passion (but not antisemitic, they repeat, since they always find a Jew ready to blame his own people).

Would they have applauded an Israeli documentary that described with the same meticulousness Hamas’s methods, the 1,200 Israelis killed in less than three hours, the thousands of tunnels dug under Gaza? Would the Venice hall have stood up?

Someone, perhaps. Perhaps twenty-five seconds.

Because, to put it in the words of Soviet writer Sergei Dovlatov, “progressive humanity demands of Israel a noble suicide.”

The next anti-Israel applause in Venice will last twenty-six minutes.

Spanish and American thinkers challenge the Black Legend and Europe’s rejection of its Christian roots

Spanish and American thinkers challenge the Black Legend and Europe’s rejection of its Christian roots. Javier Villamor

Two days after October 12, Spain’s National Day and the Day of Hispanidad, the European Parliament has hosted an event dedicated to reclaiming the shared historical legacy of Spain and Hispanic America and challenging interpretations of that past shaped by the Black Legend. The panel was organised by Spanish MEP Nora Junco, of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group.

Spanish writer Juan Manuel de Prada, Mexican historian Juan Miguel Zunzunegui and Peruvian intellectual commentator Rafael Aita agreed in presenting Hispanidad as a civilisation built on both sides of the Atlantic, with racial and cultural mixing, the Spanish language and Christianity serving as its main unifying elements.

The discussion also took on a distinctly European dimension. All three speakers questioned the continent’s gradual abandonment of its Christian roots and the consequences they believe this rupture has had for Western societies. What was once known as “Christendom”, they said, is now “a civilisation in the process of disappearing”.

De Prada argued that the Black Legend cannot be explained solely as propaganda spread by Spain’s rival powers. According to the writer, that hostility had an underlying religious dimension linked to the role of the Spanish monarchy as a defender of Catholicism against Protestantism and, later, liberal thought.

He extended this argument to the European Union, recalling that its founders shared a Christian cultural foundation which, he argued, has progressively disappeared from its institutions.

“From the moment God was removed, the European Union began turning into something else,” he said.

De Prada warned that European societies have lost many of the cultural and moral bonds that once held them together. He clarified that recovering this foundation does not mean imposing religion, but rather recognising the Christian roots of European civilisation.

“Civilisations are founded by religions, and they disappear with the religion that founded them,” he maintained.

He also rejected the idea that challenging the Black Legend should involve constructing a “Pink Legend” that denies the abuses committed during the Spanish presence in the Americas. His argument was that the Spanish Crown defended laws and institutions intended to prosecute such abuses, a dimension he believes is largely absent from contemporary historical narratives.

Italy: 13-year-old Tunisian sets sleeping homeless man on fire to steal his backpack, not criminally liable due to age

On the night between Oct 7-8, 2026, in the Porto Vecchio area of Sanremo, a 13-year-old boy of Tunisian origin poured gasoline on a sleeping homeless man and set him on fire in an attempt to steal his backpack.

The incident took place in Piazzale Vesco. According to reports based on surveillance footage, the boy first filled a bottle with gasoline at a nearby pump, approached the man while he slept, poured the fuel on him — primarily on the legs, according to multiple accounts — and ignited it with a match. The goal was reportedly to take the backpack containing the victim’s belongings.

The man’s screams alerted personnel from the Coast Guard. Carabinieri and emergency medical services also responded. The victim, described in reports as a foreign man of approximately 40 years of age, with one account referring to a French man in his sixties, sustained burns to his legs. He was hospitalized for two days at Sanremo’s Ospedale Hospital before being discharged, according to Il Giornale media outlet.

Surveillance cameras operated by the Capitaneria and the Municipality of Sanremo recorded much of the incident. 

Investigators identified the 13-year-old, who had initially fled the scene. He was located in a community facility where he lives with his mother.

Under Italian law, anyone under the age of 14 is subject to an absolute presumption of non-imputability. This means the boy cannot be held criminally responsible or subjected to ordinary criminal punishment, regardless of the severity of the act. The juvenile prosecutor’s office in Genoa is handling the case and can consider protective or rehabilitative measures focused on the minor’s situation.

Some coverage has described the migrant youth having prior contact with authorities in Sanremo, though details remain limited as the matter falls under juvenile proceedings.

Student Riots in India, Albania and France Show ‘USAID’ Effect Still Around

The riots aren’t a coincidence, they’re a strategy.
Screengrab youtube

Some people like to argue that the wave of right-wing candidates winning elections in Latin America is due to the shutdown of USAID.

I wouldn’t celebrate just yet.

We’re currently watching ‘student riots’ in France, Albania and India. And those don’t just happen on their own.

Remember that USAID was just one component in a worldwide leftist machine that has been running now for generations. It’s built up organizations worldwide, trained staff and pumped endless millions into various non-profits around the world… many of which are still operating. Part of that machine was funded by massively wealthy foundations like those of Ford and Soros. Losing USAID was a blow, but the machine is still operating. And we weren’t the only government funding it. The Euros were putting money in the NGO machine.

And at least some of these groups also have ties to enemy nations including China, Russia and Iran who are more than happy to benefit from their political sabotage.

Back to the riots. Of the three riots, the most crucial are the ones in India where the Left hopes to topple Modi. Losing India would be a major blow, and a Leftist-Islamic government heading up a major country would be a major threat. Macron in France, much less so, but the riots there are, as they often are with leftists, an attempt at political mobilization of the ‘youth’ and ‘minorities’.

The Albania riots are more of an exception to the usual rule since the target is a leftist leader linked to the Soros clan. But there may be a complicated interplay of interests there.

Either way, the leftist student riots around the world aren’t a coincidence, they’re a strategy.

UK: Vile duo jailed for abducting and sexually assaulting 11-year-old girl in Birmingham

Milei’s Chief Adviser Shares Post on UK ‘Islamization’ and Falklands Takeover

The Governor’s Residence in Stanley, Falkland Islands. Wikimedia Commons, michael clarke stuff,CC-BY-SA-2.0

Santiago Caputo, Chief Adviser to President Javier Milei of Argentina, has shared a post on the social media platform X in which he claims that the United Kingdom is being ‘colonized by Islam’ and therefore ‘recovering the Malvinas is not solely a national cause. It is a cause of the West.’

Caputo published the message in response to Sagal Abdi-Wali of the Labour Party, a Muslim woman who wears a hijab, being elected to the British Parliament to represent Holborn and St Pancras in a by-election earlier this month.

The British newspaper The Guardian claims that President Milei himself has shared Caputo’s post on X. However, the post in question is no longer available on President Milei’s X feed, either on his main feed or among his many reposts.

It is understandable why a territorial claim over the Falkland Islands (or Malvinas, as Caputo and other Argentine nationalists like to refer to the islands by their Spanish name) coming from an official in the Argentine government would cause an uproar in the British press.

In 1982 Argentine armed forces invaded the islands in an effort to claim them, which provoked a two-month war that ultimately ended in a British victory. The conflict also claimed around 900 lives: 650 on the Argentine side and 250 on the British side.

The Falklands never legally belonged to Argentina, although the South American nation did maintain a small garrison and settlement on the islands in the 1820s after gaining independence from Spain. Today, the vast majority of the local population of around 3,500 people have allegiance to the UK over Argentina.

The issue reentered the public discussion in July of this year.

After Argentina beat England in the FIFA World Cup semi-finals 2–1, Argentine players Lisandro Martínez and Giovani Lo Celso held up a banner with the words ‘the Malvinas are Argentine’ in Spanish. Apparently, the banner was given to them by fans, but they evidently were aware of its content when they decided to show it to the cameras.

Milei Adviser’s Post about Islam in the UK and the Falklands

In his post published on Wednesday, 14 October, Caputo starts by praising Britain’s long history, calling it ‘in many respects, the cradle of modern Western civilization’ and celebrating the great British minds of the past, such as Adam Smith, John Locke, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Alan Turing.

However, he goes on to argue that the recent spread of Islamic influence in the United Kingdom is ‘a risk to the cause of the entire West’ and ‘a tragedy in historical terms’. Caputo believes that protecting Argentina and the Southern Atlantic from the threats of Islam is just ‘another reason’ why his nation should make efforts to ‘recover’ the Malvinas.

In this post per se, he does not elaborate on what other reasons he sees for an Argentine takeover of the Falklands.
