Disclaimer & comment rulesMercosur, led by Cristina, did nothing wrong in rejecting the coup, and I'm confident the tribunal will find that
Jul 18th, 2012 - 10:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0You do talk some twaddle BK, it wasn't a coup, it was totaly legal according to Paraguayan law. CFK just needed an excuse to get Chavez into bed and as usual acted like a bull in a china shop without considering the full facts.
Jul 18th, 2012 - 11:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0It must be a sad existence for you if CFK is your idol.
@1 you really demonstrating your complete disregard for constational law of amny countries today. The preisdent was impeached as enshrined in the constitutional law of Parquay. Even if their suspenseion was the right thing to do they are still a full member of MERCSOUR and as such must ratify the decision to include Venuzula, without their approval either 1) They can not be admited or 2) MERCSOUR has turned its back on its own rules and as such is null and void as an organistaion which will lose all politcal standing int he world and only damging its purpose and aims.
Jul 18th, 2012 - 12:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0On your Hero Chavez and intresting report issued today by Human Rights Watch shows just what kind of power system is in play there. http://www.hrw.org/reports/2012/07/17/tightening-grip-0. And this is the system CFK wishes to aligen herself with. She is making herself and the country a laughting stoke within the UN.

Jul 18th, 2012 - 01:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BK, if you really believe in socialism, which I for one doubt, just google the following:
1) María Lourdes Afiuni
2) The newspaper 6to Poder
3) Human rights defender Rocío San Miguel
4) RCTV
5) Globovisión
6) Oswaldo Álvarez Paz
If you can o on supporting Chávez after reading up on them, you are definitely NOT a socialist!!!!
Getting back the Mercosur ruling, I'm guessing the ruling will be that it was the right decision to suspend Paraguay because Cristina says it was, as is the defacto position on anything done or said in South America these days.
Jul 18th, 2012 - 04:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mercosur has clearly broken its own rules by suspending Paraguay without a hearing (just for following their own constitutional democratic rules), and by admitting Venezuela without Paraguay’s agreement.
Jul 18th, 2012 - 05:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Goes straight to the credibility of the organisation, difficult to see how this trade block now turned political alliance can survive.
Still wondering about Brazil’s motivation in all this though.

Jul 18th, 2012 - 06:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BK is a pro-Falklands blogger. You do realise that don't you? Sarcasm is his chosen method. I used to get a little wound up by him but now that I realise what he's doing it's quite funny.
Wouldnt it be refreshing if some South American president just turned round to Turkey neck and told her to piss right off, does nobody down there have any backbone to stand up to her at all? They have got to be sick to the back teeth of her.

Jul 19th, 2012 - 06:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0And your the universal judge on matters that require measurement who is and who is not a socialist I take it?
The whole Worls knows that this suspension of Paraguay was a conspiracy to admit Venezuala through illegitimate means.
Jul 19th, 2012 - 11:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0If the tribunal do not reach this conclusion, it will be a farce!
Mercosur's credibility is sinking lower and lower everyday!

Jul 19th, 2012 - 01:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No Negro, I'm not a judge, but I am a true believer in socialist principles, and I cannot believe that any true socialist can believe that Chávez or Fernández de Kirchner are socialists.
Socialism looks for ways of solving the problems of the people on a permanent basis, all these two populist clowns have done is make their people's lives more miserable.
@9 Excellent. You finally made a joke.

Would you like to comment on the “rights” outlined above that CFK has either breached already or would like to breach if she thought she could get away with it?
