Nov 02nd, 2012 - 10:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Having been impeached, Lugo is not running for re-election and should have no legal reason not to stand. If it was so clear a conservative would win, they wouldn't be so desperate to block him anyway...
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 10:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0So Mercosur having decided that the Paraguayans are not allowed to follow their own rules on impeachment now want to dictate who the Paraguayans should allow to stand for election.
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 10:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Mercosur have disregarded their own “democratic” rules by offering Venezuela membership - typical bully boy tactics.
When he includes “god willing” does he mean “assuming I'm still alive?”
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 12:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How will things work out following the Paraguayan elections in April? The Paraguayans have already rejected Venezuelan membership - again. I can imagine that any Paraguayan “president” that attempted to overturn the decision of the Senate would be impeached in no time flat. Mercosur is facing collapse. What are the options? Paraguay is “reinstated” and accepts Venezuelan membership. Paraguay is “reinstated” and Venezuela leaves. Paraguay is “reinstated” and then leaves. The other “members” refuse to “reinstate” Paraguay. I don't see Brazil and argieland being willing to give up. Everything depends on the strength of the Paraguayans. We should be wishing them good luck against the tyrannies.

And if there was not, there should be to describe the 'Leaders' of Mercosur, Pepe included.

Nov 02nd, 2012 - 04:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Obvious solution:
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 08:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0next meeting of Mercosur votes (unanimously) that from now on unanimity is no longer required. Hurrah!
Thus, Lugo need not stand again - avoiding the Mercosur-Paraguayan constitution Catch 22.
And the conduct of the next Paraguayan election can be declared 'Democratic', thereby avoiding embarrassing comparisons with their own electoral practices.
Sorted!
Apparently he was caught reading mien kampf ..
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 08:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0south america, you have been warned ..
Democracy at its best . Paraguay votes for Lugo in April and all will be forgiven ! That Lugo can not be a candidate , by the Constituition , has nothing to do with it all. . According to Chavez it is Lugo or the country starves to death . The wishes of the Paraguayan people have nothing to do with it ! These are proud people who prefer to suffer than be told what to by fools such as Chavez , Mujica , Kirchner and Rousseff. Paraguay , start looking for strong allies such as USA or U K .
Nov 02nd, 2012 - 09:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0By the way expect no help from Chile or Colombia , they are afraid of Chavez .
Don't worry Paraguay, he will be despot fertiliser soon as will Kirchner with any luck.
