Former president Jorge Batlle (2000/2005) said that the inclusion of Venezuela in Mercosur “is favourable for Uruguay” but at the same time insisted it was “wrongly done” for not having taken into account Paraguay’s opposition currently suspended as member of the regional block. Read full article

    Paraguay had no say since they got payed by outsiders in USA to slow down or destroy the progress in mercosur, Paraguay should be reinstated without voting power. Or have their suspension extended for 2 more years until they show willingness to unite mercosur rather then destroy it.
    Why are all American and british newspapers trying to dictating to mercosur ?? Don't they have major economic troubles and austerity in their own country to get distracted by what mercosur does??

    #3 denial doesn't work anymore try another strategy or read mercopress reports on the issue. You don't have to look far to see the truth.

    Paraguay actions in mercosur makes it clear that someone was paying Paraguay since all other members considered Venezuela integration a benefit to the bloc and a source of capital needed by all members including paraguay. Except paraguay had a hand out and could hold back from total integration. All latin americans are glad Paraguay got suspended and Venezuela was incorporated to the bloc. I don't hate latin America I wanted them to become united and now its done. Unlike paraguay and terrorists from UK and USA I am happy this happened.

    Once again PH your hatred of the gringo blinds and prevent you from making sense and support empty claims with only mere assumptions.

    Pirate Hunter probably thinks that the terrorist massacre of 9/11 in the USA was a good thing and the attack on the AMIA Jewish hospital in BA was another.

    Interesting that even the right wing rabidly anti-Argy (“all liars”) Battle supports Venezuela's inclusion on the whole; histor is moving our way comrades =)
