Argentine veterans of the 1982 war with Britain over the Malvinas demonstrated against the exploration plans.

They gathered in Buenos Aires' main central plaza to show support for their government.

Walter Rino, Malvinas War Veteran, said, "We will always protest and we always think it is good when they protest through diplomatic channels. We think it is perfectly correct. We have to protest because the Malvinas come under our sovereignty."
