On March 24, Britain's Secretary of State for Defense Michael Fallon announced, with regard to the islands, his plans to increase security spending over the next ten years. Fallon cited a continuing and ''very live threat'' identified by the Defense Secretary even 30 years after the war over the disputed islands. The announcement followed Argentinean plans to buy twelve SU24 strike aircrafts from Russia that had been made public on 12/28/14. Daniel Filmus, Argentina's Secretary for Matters Relating to the Malvinas/Falklands, insisted on April 17 that Argentina did not pose any threat and would not use any military means to reclaim the territory under dispute. Tensions increased when Argentina launched lawsuits against three British and two US oil drilling companies near the islands on April 15. Filmus declared that Argentina would take all necessary legal measures to stop the exploitation of oil in the area. On July 2, the Tierra del Fuego-based judge Lilian Herráez ordered a freeze on the assets of five international oil companies, accusing them of operating around the islands without authorization. According to the British Foreign Office Minister Hugo Swire this act was to be seen as ''merely symbolic'' since Argentine domestic law did not apply to the disputed area. On June 11, Argentina's then-Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman accused British Prime Minister David Cameron of ''colonialism'' and of ''living in a fake reality,'' arguing that Britain was not respecting the UN resolution on a peaceful dialogue over the issue. The night before, Cameron had accused Argentina of threatening the inhabitants of the islands and not respecting their right to self-determination. Tensions rose as Britain ordered a USD 70 million mobile air defense radar on August 25 to protect the area from possible Argentinean attacks. The claim on the islands did not play a crucial role in the Argentine presidential campaign. she BOLIVIA (SOCIOECONOMIC PROTESTS) Intensity: 3 | Change: | Start: 1983 Conflict parties: Conflict items: COMCIPO vs. government system/ideology, resources The socioeconomic conflict over resources and the orientation of the political system continued at the level of a violent crisis. Involved parties this year consisted of the civil society group Civic Committee of Potosí (COMCIPO), on the one hand, and the government, on the other. 203
