UK asks bloc to clarify position after Buenos Aires declares ‘triumph’ over use of term in declaration

Brussels supported an Argentina-backed declaration referring to Islas Malvinas at a summit of EU leaders with Latin America and the Caribbean (Celac) leaders on Tuesday, which Buenos Aires called a “diplomatic triumph”.

    Most of the (English) people I know were not allowed to vote on Brexit (living outside the UK you cannot vote after so many years…14 i think?).
