And yes, she really is that stupid. Right now, she can't quite understand why the British delegation still hasn't turned up to talk about the Falklands.
It's not the first Spainish asset to be nationalized, in 2008 they took back control of AerolĂ*neas Argentinas (Their National Airline) from Spanish based Grupo Marsans (who owned Air Comet until it went bust in 2009)
