But Paraguay is completely unable to vote to bring Venezuela into Mercosur.[ In itself, a good thing.]

And what about Unasur?
Sr Castro thinks that joining it would be good for Paraguay. Actually, Sr. Castro, Paraguay is a founder member since 2004 though, again, it cannot get round to signing the Charter.

All in all, Sr. Castro, a weaker load of nonsense would be hard to imagine!
