Ex-Argentine Energy Secretary Urges YPF to Resume Falklands Offshore Exploration

Jorge Lapeña, a former Argentine energy secretary, publicly urged state-owned YPF to resume offshore exploration near the Falkland Islands, warning that leaving the area unexploited invites other actors. This marks a renewed push in Argentina's long-standing sovereignty dispute with the UK, potentially escalating diplomatic tensions. The call is rhetorical for now, with no confirmed government or YPF action.
