With new member Venezuela, Mercosur also admits Venezuela's Corruption Perception Index of 1.9/10, even worse than dumped-Paraguay's 2.2/10.

So it is “a clearly unacceptable situation” for Paraguay´s congress to remove the president, even though it is established in their own constitution. Same happened in Honduras.

But it is clearly acceptable for Hugo Chavez to stay in power for decades controlling absolutely all branches of power. It is clearly acceptable for Fidel Castro to stay in power for 5 decades and then to pass the power down to his brother while the population lives in poverty and without any economical and social freedoms.

Please define “Acceptable”.

Argentina used to have the best beef in the world, but since Nestor and Cristina Kirchner have been in power, the beef industry has been completely destroyed. Nobody should eat the poor quality and polluted beef, it's not fit for human consumption. Argentine beef loaded with hormones, drugs and chemicals that have been outlawed in the USA and Europe and they have been known to ship rotten beef for export after it's been washed with bleach and ammonia, injected with formaldehyde and red food coloring.
Lemons from Argentina are sprayed with toxic and dangerous chemicals that cause cancer and nerve damage and injected with artificial yellow coloring because the soil in Argentina is so depleted of minerals in that the lemons grow white on the trees and have no flavor.
Industrial products such as tools, automobiles, machinery and appliances from Argentina are the worst and poorest quality in the world. Even the chinese won't buy them. There is no industrial standard, they use the lowest quality raw materials and no testing is done before they are shipped. This has caused people to be injured by unsafe products, many people have been electrocuted by Argentine washing machines and hot water heaters that leave the factory with short circuits.
All countries should completely avoid ALL Argentine products permanently.
And this is how Crisitna Kirchner stays in power.......

As Chavito's map the other day did not include the Falkland Islands, we must assume that he does NOT support Argentinas false claim to the Islands.

Whatever happened to CFK's South American Unity?????

Paraguay out Venezuela in, shows which way murcosur is going. Question is which way does Paraguay go from here.

Brazil wants to register its own territorial claims in Antarctica.

Not to mention Argentina and Chile already claiming almost the same part.

Uruguay with its “deep Antarctic calling”

Regional unity, South American style.
