Mercopress, that's no Mercosur issue. That's an issue between a Mercosur nation (Venezuela), and the Paraguayan oligarchy...

@ Guzz... Exactly, and it must become THE issue for all true democracies, otherwise the oligarchs and the Monsantos of the world will continue to overthrow legitimately elected governments. Chavez has the balls to act according to time honored principles and to speak truth to evil.

So, there you go, trolls. Pile on!

Poor Chávez . He has suddenly realized that Brazil is moving towards a deal with Paraguay . Their profesional diplomats have noted that all EU Ambassadors are still in Asunción . As is the Ambassador of the USA , México , Vatican and many others . So the empty gesture of Mercosur to pull out their Ambassadors was not followed by the real powers of the world !

@1 So? Do you think something has to have “merco” in it to be reported?
@3 Don't be silly. Chavez doesn't have any balls. They dropped off months ago. Tiny and shrivelled they were. Like Tic-Tacs.

The reason the UNITED states became so powerful after the LAST downturn is because of the united part.

Chavez and his military cronies do not know the meaning of the word democracy, and apparently, neither do the population.

They deserve one another.
