2 | This post is part of our Special Coverage London Olympics 2012 | Ampahany amin'ny fandrakofanay manokana ny Lalao Olaimpika Londona 2012 ity lahatsoratra ity. |
3 | Over and above the event's athletic importance, competing in the London 2012 Olympics for Argentina also has political connotations due to the memory of those killed in the Falklands War. | Ambonin'ny lanja ara-panatanjahantenan'ilay hetska, misy ambadika politika ihany koa io fifaninanana Olaimpika 20012 any Londona io ho an'i Arzantina noho ny fahatsiarovana ireo maty tanatin'ilay Adin'ireo nosy Malouines. |
4 | April 2, 2012 marked the 30th anniversary of the landing of Argentine troops in the Falkland Islands, known as the Malvinas in Argentina. | Nanamarika ny tsingerintaonan'ny fipetrahan'ireo ekipan'i Arzantina tany amin'ireo Nosy Falkland ny 2 Aprily 2012, fantatra amin'ny anarana hoe Malouines any Arzantina. |
5 | With the imminent start of the 2012 Olympic Games, the Office of the Argentinian President released a video tribute via their YouTube channel [es]: | Niaraka tamin'ny fanakaikezan'ny fanombohan'ny Lalao Olaimpika 2012 , namoaka lahatsary fahatsiarovana ny biraon'ny Filohan'i Arzantina amin'ny alalan'ny fantsona YouTube-dry zareo [es]: |
6 | The video, which was made by the Office of the Argentine Presidency [es] and filmed in the islands, shows an Argentinian athlete training for the London Olympics in the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory. | Ilay lahatsary, izay nataon'ny Biraon'ny Fitondrana Arzantina [es] ary nalaina tany amin'ireo nosy ireo, dia mampiseho mpifaninana iray avy ao Arzantina mikotrana ho amin'ilay Lalao Olaimpika any Londona any amin'ireo Nosy Malouines, zaratany Britanika an-dranomasina. |
7 | The final sentence sparked the controversy: “To compete on English soil, we train on Argentine soil.” | Niteraka adihevitra ilay didy farany: “Raha hifaninana any amin'ny tany Anglisy isika, manazatra tena any amin'ny tany Arzantina.” |
8 | The protagonist of the video is Fernando Zylberberg, a player of the Argentina Hockey Team, who will not actually be participating in the 2012 Olympics. | Fernando Zylberberg no mpilalao fototra anatin'io lahatsary io, mpilalao anatin'ny Ekipan'ny Hockey Arzantina, izay tsy handray anjara anatin'ny Lalao Olaimpika 2012 raha ny marina. |
9 | The reaction by the Olympic Committee was immediate. | Teo noho eo ny fanehoan-kevitry ny Kaomity Olaimpika. |
10 | The website SSQH [es] posted the reaction: | Namoaka izany fanehoan-kevitra izany ny vohikala SSQH [es]: |
11 | The Olympic Games should not be a forum to discuss political issues, and the IOC regrets any use of the platform of the Games for those purposes,” [the Olympic Committee] said in a statement to the AP news agency. | Tsy tokony ho sehatra fiadin-kevitra momba ireo olana politika ny Lalao Olaimpika , ary tsy manaiky ny fampiasàna ny sehatry ny Lalao ho an'ireo antony ireo ny IOC,” hoy [ny Kaomity Olaimpika ] tanatinà fanambarana ho an'ny masoivohom-baovao AP. |
12 | “We are in contact with the Argentine (Olympic Committee) … who have repeatedly assured us that the National Olympic Committee will not try to use the Games as a political platform, and will respect the Olympic Charter,” the IOC added. | “Mifandray amin'ny (Kaomity Olaimpika ) Arzantina izahay … izay nanome toky hatrany fa tsy hampiasa ny Lalao ho sehatra politika ny Kaomity Nasionalin'ny Lalao Olaimpika , ary hanaja ny Sata mifehy ny Lalao Olaimpika ,” hoy ihany ny IOC nanampy. |
13 | The blog Sopitas [es] also commented on the controversy: | Nitsikera mikasika io adihevitra io ihany koa ny bilaogy Sopitas [es]: |
14 | 30 years after the war between Argentina and Britain over these islands, and so close to the start of the Olympics, this ad looks like a provocation that is already causing controversy. | 30 taona taorian'ilay ady nisy teo amin'i Arzantina sy Londona noho ireo nosy ireo, ary akaikin'ny fanombohan'ity lalao Olaimpika ity, toa fihantsiana izay efa mitarika resabe sahady ity fanambarana ity. |
15 | Ian Hansen, Falklands legislator, said he was disappointed by this video, which “attempts to politicize the Olympic Games in the service of the Argentine territorial ambitions.” | Ian Hansen, mpifehy ny Malouines, nilaza fa diso fanantenana izy tamin'io lahatsary io, izay “mikasa ny handoko ny Lalao Olaimpika hànana loko politika miandany amin'ny filan'i Arzantina momba ny tany.” |
16 | Penguin News, a newspaper from the Falkland Islands, considered the video disrespectful: | Penguin News, gazety avy any amin'ireo Nosy Malouines, nandray izany lahatsary izany ho kivalavala: |
17 | Sadly, this illustrates the disrespect the Argentine authorities have for our home and our people. | Indrisy, maneho ny tsy fanajan'ireo manam-pahefana Arzantina ny fonenanay sy ny vahoakanay io. |
18 | Unsurprisingly, at no stage does the video feature any Falkland Islanders - a clear reflection of Argentina's policy, which is to pretend that the people of the Falkland Islands do not exist. | Tsy mahagaga, amin'ny fotoana inona ao anatin'io lahatsary io no mba ahitàna ireo mponina ao amin'ireo Nosy Malouines - fitaratra mazava amin'ny politikan'i Arzantina, izay mihevitra fa tsy misy ireo mponina ao amin'ireo Nosy Malouines. |
19 | However, as the comments [es] show on YouTube, for many Argentinians the video has served to reinforce their position that the Falkland Islands belong to Argentina. | Na eo aza izany, araka ny hasehon'ireo tsikera [es] ao amin'ny YouTube, ho an'ireo Arzantina maro dia manamafy ny maha-tompon'ireo Nosy Malouines azy ireo izany lahatsary izany. |
