Apr 24th, 2011 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Very easy to understand Paraguay's concerns becouse some South
American countries have been in the Byzantium intrugues at last
50 years on..against each other.
but,it can thought that there is second mod which Argentina /Brasil
maybe use Paraguay as stalking horse against Venezuela.
It is common that there are many parts of the World have many
inter-countries insecurity syndroms at Mid East,Africa,Asia,Europe....
This should be fun to watch. A group of countries with delusions of grandeur is looking to include a country that has a head of state who is delusional.

Apr 24th, 2011 - 04:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I can't see what kind of conflict could involve Venezuela and Paraguay. They have good, but distant, relations and have quite different economies. How could rivalry arise between those two countries? What is behind Paraguayan rejection of Venezuela is ideology. Instead of looking to the advantages (or even disadvantages) of a Venezuelan membership, conservative Paraguayan Congressmen are treating the matter in a politicized manner.
@Typhoon
So has the EU followed Berlusconi's advice of accepting an Israeli membership? How odd.

Thank you, Chavez! Best you could do in favour of the CAN. Now Mexico will virtually join, only Bolivia left to leave and we will have the “prosperity aliance” @ Pacific coast on the other hand dominating Brasil and its looser slaves (Mercosur).

Fido Dido, would ask you the same... do you seriously doubt, that Mercosur is being led in the interests of Brazil? I don't blame then, they have done a perfect deal, though not not Argentina and the smaller nations.
Apr 28th, 2011 - 11:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Still remember, when Argentina was a tecnological leader in exports in the region before the Mercosur came up. Now Brasil sends you 85% of tecnological imports, while you export 80% food and fuel to them.
