The appointment of Nicolás Kasanzew to head the Argentine Senate's 'Dirección Gesta de Malvinas' by Vice President Victoria Villarruel represents the institutionalization of wartime mythology over verified historical reality. As the only Argentine television correspondent present in Stanley throughout the 74 days of the 1982 conflict, Kasanzew operated under the direct censorship and supervision of General Mario Benjamín Menéndez's command. His broadcasts for Argentina Televisora Color (ATC) became the primary domestic conduit for the junta's infamous '¡Estamos ganando!' triumphalism. While conscripts froze in muddy trenches without food, boots, or medical supplies, Kasanzew filmed curated segments showing smiling soldiers receiving coffee and hot stew. This deceit prompted the Centro de Ex Combatientes Islas Malvinas (CECIM La Plata) to issue an emergency declaration titled '¡Repudio, absoluto repudio!', branding Kasanzew a 'mercenary' and negacionista who whitewashed the dictatorship's military incompetence.

Foremost among the falsehoods perpetuated by Kasanzew is the myth of the Argentine attack on the British aircraft carrier HMS Invincible on 30 May 1982. For over four decades, Kasanzew has insisted that Argentine Super Étendard and A-4C Skyhawk pilots struck and crippled the carrier, claiming British authorities orchestrated a massive cover-up. This claim collapses under empirical scrutiny. On 30 May 1982, the Argentine strike package targeted the distant radar profile of the British battle group: the Exocet missile was intercepted or struck the burning hulk of the already-disabled container ship Atlantic Conveyor, while escorting frigate HMS Avenger engaged incoming Skyhawks with 4.5-inch naval gunfire. HMS Invincible was never hit, never took water, and suffered zero casualties. Invincible remained continuously operational throughout June 1982, conducting daily combat air patrols with 801 Naval Air Squadron Sea Harriers until relieved by HMS Illustrious in late August. She sailed into Portsmouth on 17 September 1982 in full public view, accompanied by Queen Elizabeth II and thousands of civilian spectators, completely undamaged. To sustain the fiction of a damaged carrier, Argentine revisionists invented absurd conspiracy theories—such as the secret construction of an identical replacement carrier in days—which Kasanzew continues to indulge.

Equally grave is Kasanzew's systematic denial and minimization of the crimes against humanity committed by Argentine officers against their own conscripts. In Cause No. 1777/07 ('Pierre Pedro Valentín y otros s/ imposición de tortura') before the Federal Court of Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, federal prosecutors have documented over 120 formal complaints of torture, including estaqueamientos (pinning teenage soldiers to the frozen mud by their wrists and ankles for hours as punishment for scavenging food), severe beatings, submersion in freezing water, and deliberate starvation. Rather than acknowledging this documented abuse, Kasanzew routinely dismisses it as a leftist 'desmalvinizadora' campaign, arguing that harsh measures were necessary combat discipline. This callous whitewashing has alienated thousands of genuine frontline veterans whose suffering was compounded by their own commanders before British forces liberated the islands.

Finally, Kasanzew's entire political advocacy rests on recycling the debunked 1833 civilian expulsion myth and using it to deny the democratic rights of the modern Falkland population. In his columns and interviews, Kasanzew describes the British presence as criminal 'piratería' and refers to the islanders as an 'implanted population' who possess no right to self-determination. This position directly violates the United Nations Charter (Chapter XI, Article 73), which establishes that the interests and well-being of the inhabitants are paramount. Furthermore, it ignores the 1849 Arana-Southern Peace Convention, by which the Argentine Confederation settled all differences with Great Britain and observed 35 continuous years of diplomatic silence. By prioritizing 19th-century colonial grievances over 21st-century human rights, Kasanzew remains an arch-propagandist whose career exemplifies the tragic subordination of historical truth to state-mandated nationalistic dogma.
