The article should have mentioned that though Paraguay is a member of CELAC it was not invited to the meeting . Mercosur still claim that the ousting if Lugo was not legal despite the fact that the rest of the World recogiste the actual Government . But they did invite Cuba , who will take over the Presidency of the organization . Nice one ! By the way Uruguay , one of the ringleaders in ousting Paraguay from Mercosur , told the world that they would defend the interests of Paraguay during the meeting . No wonder Paraguayans think they are surrounded by strange people .

1 Well, in the first place CELAC this time is lead by Chile and its gov are pretty sure they did invite Paraguay, also, Chile isn´t part of mercosur and isnt in favor either of Paraguay exclusion from it.

Elena . Chile made it very clear they did not want Paraguay at the meeting ! Then they did a quick two step dance saying they had invited Paraguay . Could it be that the E U expressed some surprise at Paraguay's absence since all the EU ambassadors are still here ! Surprised at Chile .

ok, for what I saw Chile is saying they did invite Paraguay and Paraguay is saying they were asked not to come like in the Cadiz reunion, both decisions may be politically and ideologically charged, and is problematic given CELAC requires the presence of every member from it to take decisions as a group, don´t see really what Chile would gain exactly by leaving Paraguay out.
