"The United States and the European Union recognise the de facto administration of the Falkland Islands and take no position over their sovereignty; however, the EU classifies the islands as an overseas country or territory of the UK, subject to EU law in some areas. The Commonwealth of Nations listed the islands as a British Overseas Territory in their 2012 yearbook. At the 2012 OAS summit Canada stated its support for the islanders' right to self-determination." Wikipedia page on the dispute.

However, I imagine he's referring to this aspect of the dispute:
"Since 1964, Argentina has lobbied its case at the Decolonization Committee of the UN, which annually recommends dialogue to resolve the dispute. The UN General Assembly has passed several resolutions on the issue. In 1988, the General Assembly reiterated a 1965 request that both countries negotiate a peaceful settlement to the dispute and respect the interests of the Falkland Islanders and the principles of UN GA resolution 1514."

By democratic governements I meant Argentina's democratic governments since 1983. All of them have endorsed negotiations, but none of them have endorsed military actions.
 
As others have said, the real world doesn't work like this. The Argentine government will never release that card from their hand. This isn't a cynical "lol, economic recession, Malvinas!1!" shitpost, but they won't because people don't do things like that, even without it being unconstitutional. Sometimes, they'll keep the card to their chest, other times they'll play it as the central card in the hand. This is also self evident: priorities change, as do diplomatic realities. It well never not be pushed, but sometimes it will be pushed more actively.

Let's face it, Edward III's claim to the throne of France (1337?) lasted until the Peace of Amiens in 1802.
