Chavez confirms Dilma’s invitation to Mercosur meeting in Rio on July 31
Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said he had talked with his peer from Brazil Dilma Rousseff who confirmed the invitation to an extraordinary meeting of Mercosur next July 31 in Rio do Janeiro.
“I’ve had a most satisfying chat with President Dilma, our most beloved compañera. She confirmed I’m invited to the Mercosur summit” said Chavez on Friday in his Twitter@chavecadanga.
The message is followed by a second in which he asserts “Venezuela to Mercosur! This is really GREAT! A new Venezuela! A new South America! New Geopolitics!”
Last Tuesday Chavez confirmed he would be travelling to Rio do Janeiro July 31 for the formal incorporation of Venezuela as full member of Mercosur (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay), even when Paraguay was suspended from the group last June following the removal of Fernando Lugo, who was replaced by Federico Lugo.
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay at the end of last June in a controversial decision agreed to suspend Paraguay and admit the incorporation of Venezuela which was pending for several years and blocked precisely by the Paraguayan Senate. All Mercosur decisions are supposed to be taken by consensus.

You should stop the target shootings in movie theaters instead.
70 peopke shot? Again?
#1 Chris you may be waiting a long time =)
#2 Mujica is more of a rela man than you
#3 Sounds like a great show =)
#1 You may be right, on the other hand when Chavez comes off the immune supercharger which is the steroids he is taking (and he WILL be off them soon) then he will have another problem altogether.
#3 He's taking the piss!
Disaster coming closer for your 'queen' though with all the self-inflicted wounds fast becoming fatal (politically speaking).
If he wants to find any moron CIA members,he should look at some Sex parties.
Someone should tell him that there are more than 30 intelligence services like CIA in USA.
The mark at the back of there heads confirm it,
South America is being taken over,
Were ever you are ,,,who ever you are,
Watch out for the body snatchers .lol.
Neither do you. You're a sissy in your mom's basement playing video games. No wonder you're trolling here with your fantasy.
@14 Is that supposed to be a serious comment? Did you read that Brazil has a defence agreement with Britain? Let's be quite clear. If the U.S.A. decided to go south, there is nothing in LatAm to stop it. Just for a start, the US armed forces could put 3,522 ground attack and combat aircraft in the air. I'll leave you to go through the armed forces of the LatAm countries and work out how many similar aircraft they could deploy. Helicopters and UAVs are not counted. Want to go on to naval forces? There are currently 11 aircraft carriers, 22 cruisers, 61 destroyers, 29 frigates, 2 littoral combat ships, 9 amphibious assault ships, 2 amphibious command ships, 9 amphibious transport docks, 12 dock landing ships, 53 attack submarines, 14 ballistic missile submarines, 4 guided missile submarines, 14 mine countermeasures ships, 11 patrol boats. The US Army has a total strength of 1,129,283 personnel together with their equipment and then you can add the 240,827 of the US Marines and their equipment. I reckon that, unless it was being “nice”, the US could roll over LatAm without breaking step. And have enough capability left to tell China and Russia to keep their noses out! Add in NATO forces and it could be all over in a week. There is no “struggle” to keep the US and NATO out of South America. For the most part, neither “want” to be in South America. Leave “our” territories alone and we'll leave you alone. And try reality!
Again drunk mate?
I hear we are looking at ramping up our Base in Paraguay. I'm sure with the horrible and illegal treatment by Brazil and Argentina they're looking for a little safety of having a large US Base intheir territory, good for the economy and great for their own defense. Think of how quick we could bomb BA if we wanted. Would that be less than 10min by air? Think CFK could scramble the crop dusters in time?
Bahahaha
”Again drunk mate? Surely, as you correct others on grammar, you meant 'drunk again'?
Your facile comment reminds me of a retort given by the famous Churchill, you know, the alcoholic with anxiety syndrome who kicked the shit out of you Kraut predecessors, on being abused by 'Bessie Braddock' a rather grotesque Labour MP in the 1950s in the House of Commons.
She said one evening during a late sitting 'you are drunk', to which Churchill said 'and you, madam, are ugly. But I will be sober in the morning'.
In your case replace 'ugly' with 'stupid', you can leave the madam as I think it fits.
merely impulsively believes everything,excessive reflex,primitive instinct,vulgar aggressive.............
And laugh it of as you do, [we see laugh as a sign of fright]
But doesn’t worry, we wont tell,
But the fact is, [15 Conqueror] aint far of the mark,
But as you are south American,
Just think of what might be, if the yanks really did take an interest in you,
After all, there are all ready American bases , and soldiers , ships and planes , on south American soil , , [is this not true]
Just talk my friend, just talk and pray,
You’re very good at that .lol.
.
I don’t care I never was interest in English language what for? to talk about the weather?
What most amazed me is the fact that English mother tongue speakers here cannot read and write properly their own language.
Do you have any suggestion to enlighten us over the subject?
“They burst out of huge 'seed pods'”
“They're here already! You're next! You're next, You're next...! ”
1956 version was a social comment film of McCarthyism (aka Macarthyism) in the USA .... communist aliens within the system.
The Sutherland reprise (1978) was even better.
Classic horror
.... presently being further reprised in Mercosur.
.... is Chavez and Bolivarism a bogeyman or a real madness, a real threat to the advancement of the Continent?
The new leader, mouthpiece and geopolitical thinker of the Mercosur bloc.
Good luck with that.
I can only assume it's something to do with Venezuelan oil production as there is no sense inviting the village idiot to join if he brings nothing to the table.
@21 I don't think you really understand. What we really want you to do is die. But being kindly and considerate people who find it difficult to believe that there aren't 5 or 6 argies who might be worth saving. Therefore we proffer our hard-won knowledge and experience. Can't make you take it so we comfort ourselves with the thought that, when you've turned yourself into another Zimbabwe, we can laugh uncontrollably whilst trying to get out the words “Told you so!”
@27 Then you seem to be “home” a lot. How much is your “company” paying you for your one hour working day?
@28 “Modern English, sometimes described as the first global lingua franca, is the dominant language or in some instances even the required international language of communications, science, information technology, business, seafaring, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy.” So, if you have no interest, you are obviously one of the intellectually sub-normal. But then we knew that!
@31 What a pity he's going to Brazil. If he was staying in Venezuela, we could have had some Royal Navy vessels fire an appropriate salute. We could send HMS Diamond, HMS Triumph and HMS Vengeance. Boom, boom, boom!
@32 If you check out events, I think you'll find Uruguay was against it. Unfortunately, when it came to the moment, Pepe the Plonker had to have discussions with the Wicked Witch of the South and Dilma the Guerrilla.
What a bunch of clowns these tin pot dictators are..
The Sutherland reprise (1978)
The best I think and a great actor.
Great films
thanks

I really would like to know his name and see his face, such criminal don't deserve to post in this web page. Who is liable if someone start shooting? He does. He has a criminal mind.
“He has a criminal mind.”
So do you!!!!!
You are the liar not accepting the facts that former argentine president Carlos Menen ruined the economy of my country and collected millons of dollars under the table for permitting the movie“Evita” be film in my country Argentina.
Simeon, your male menoupase only lets you urinate 24 hours daily.
“You are the liar not accepting the facts that former argentine president Carlos Menen ruined the economy of my country and collected millons of dollars under the table for permitting the movie“Evita” be film in my country Argentina.”
WTF are you talking about????????
“Simeon, your male menoupase only lets you urinate 24 hours daily.”
I think you're mixing up male menopause with with prostate!!!!!!!
I think she is criminally insane.
Let's see what she makes of that. :o)
No, I am not.
ConQUEEEEEEEERRRR is the one that is abusing these viewers with mental cruelty always talking about killing. He is liable for such behavior!
Perhaps if you left the UK and its legitimate interests alone, we would leave you alone. The UK has better things to do with its time than plot Argentina's downfall - it is doing that quite nicely without our help.
you should give back half of your wages,
if you was honest .
still money for old rope is it not .
Not sure about this. There is no reported change in the timbre of his voice, so it is likely that his abdominal cancers have not, so far, extended to his testicles. Agree with #10, his immune compromise could be significant.
I'm pretty sure that Chavez wants his Last Picture Show to be Bolivarian, totally public, and with pathos and displays of grief across South America.
Rice/Lloyd Webber could make a musical of it.
Or the BBC could make a farce of it. :o)
Oh Boy
“What I love about Dany is that when you mock him he comes back with a comment that makes no sense whatsoever.”
Is not that, simply the guy is an amateur looking for some clients to sell his lame reports.
Claiming to be a specialist on SA affairs specially Argentina when none have ever seen him.
Who pays him Otto Reich?
@ yankeeboy
Again Yankee bobo the jealous idiot strikes again...
