Disclaimer & comment rulesShall we just analyse what this Unasur mouthpiece said:
Aug 15th, 2012 - 10:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0“The report was passed on to all the foreign ministries and reveals a relative economic and business normality although there are claims of civil and human rights abuses”, added Lerner, a former Peruvian Prime Minister.
Lerner said the claims refer to followers of removed president Fernando Lugo in the government’s administrative staff although there is no extended alarm, but a few specific cases. Lugo stepped down following political impeachment and was replaced by Vice-president Federico Franco.“
Let us just suggest, for the sake of argument, that Lugo was crooked. Not saying he was, but just suppose. After he is impeached and forced out, some of his supporters continue to act as though he were in power, and impede the new president. They are blocked. These are ”civil and human rights abuses”? Please! A stitch-up. Anybody want to give some figures on how corrupt various unasur member states are? Smoke and mirrors!
Unasur is run by Hugo Chavez, so it really doesn't need to make any sense the decisions that are made by this political bloc. Paraguay shouldn't simply leave the bloc without saying anything since the group is quite pathetic and does absolutely nothing in the world scenario. Mercosur on the other hand still has some benefit to Paraguay, but that seems like it could change fairly quickly.
Aug 15th, 2012 - 02:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unasur what a joke, Paraguay is playing the game of the lefties very smart y there is a referendum about staying in the mercoleft, they will vote out out of the mercoleft.!
Aug 15th, 2012 - 06:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The pederast and Chile abuser (Ex President of Paraguay) is a communist of the first order just like Chavez Argentina Bolivia and all Bolivarian should be worry that the left wing “Dictators” days are numbered.
I am sure Paraguay will eventually get back on track. Many people here seem to think Chavez, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile had something to do with Paraguay getting suspended from local organtizations, but Paraguay accomplshed it in their own merits.
Aug 15th, 2012 - 11:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Of course he's more concerned with the OAS, with the USA involved its his only hope!
Aug 16th, 2012 - 09:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Everyone knows that the only reason Paraguay was suspended from Mercosur and Unasur was to allow Venezuela through the backdoor of Mercosur. Using the argument that there was a rupture of democracy is the biggest joke when it comes from the mouth of deutsch-bags like Hugo Chavez. Unasur has no power in this world; it is just a pathetic group created by Hugo and his radical left friends. It literally has amounted to nothing since its creation, doing nothing, contributing nothing.
Aug 16th, 2012 - 01:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BK - If Paraguay can get the favor of the USA, it will be more beneficial than the rest of Latin America combined.
