Argentina took territory by force from Paraguay in 1870 ,looks like they want to finish the job by diplomatic trickery ,what is it they say about not interfering in each others internal affairs,oh! and what is they say about the Malvinas/Falklands being taken,and should be returned after 180 years?
Jan 26th, 2013 - 09:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Best let sleeping dogs lie.
This article, like a photograph, Show exactly the political focus that is supported by this webpage webmasters. Im so sure that 30 years ago, this webpage would had talked about presidents instead of dictators. With the obvious difference that a president is choosen by the people and a dictator is not.
Jan 27th, 2013 - 08:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0The paraguayan congress that destituted Lugo is full with people who worked for the paraguayan dictatorship 30 years ago. This people expelled a president without respecting his right to a proper defense.
You british 30 years ago, despised the military dictatorships in public but for political reasons you supported them economically, military and sometimes politically. Disgusting.
Yeah and when they over stepped the bounds of international law, we went to war with them and defeated them at no small cost financially, but more importantly, British lifes. You know better than I, what the consequences would have been had we not done so. What? a stronger junta, who having suceeded in using force once, would probably have done the same again. Against who I wonder? Well who was left, oh that's right, their neighbours.
Jan 27th, 2013 - 09:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0So do not judge us. If the politics of South America for decades, had been the politics of the military juntas, then that is South Americas fault, not ours, we never interfered and by we I mean the UK.
If you wanted even a shred of credibility when complaining about democracy in Paraguay you should at least tell Cuba to shut up.
Jan 27th, 2013 - 09:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0@3 Just as a matter of interest, could you clarify your views on the following matters:
Jan 27th, 2013 - 12:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 01) The various “dealings” in Venezuela that have effectively turned it into a one-party state;
2) The known CFK practices in argieland of buying votes, releasing violent criminals from gaol to take part in her rallies, conducting vendettas against opponents such as the press and unions, funding “muscle” groups such as La Campora and ignoring the constitution except when convenient;
3) Interference in the internal affairs of another state;
4) How Paraguay contravened its own constitution.
Oh, and just let me correct one of your assertions. If you check out the FACTS, you will find that both Hitler and Mussolini were, effectively, elected. And most of latin america is considered to have flawed democracies.
It is sad when a country such as Chile begins to lie . Chile informed Paraguay , in writing , that it was not to attend the meeting . Now they say that Paraguay decided not to attend ! Why , in the name of common sense ,would Paraguay not want to attend ? A great oportunity to meet EU leaders and from the Caribbean , in the case of the Europeans they would not need to apologize for the change of Givernment since all EU members recogize the new Governmemt and accept that it was legal . Was Chile worried that Lady Ashton asked about Paraguay so they lied ?
Jan 27th, 2013 - 01:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@7 What are the grounds for your statement? Not disbelieving, but those first two sentences surely need evidence?
Jan 27th, 2013 - 01:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please refer to our local paper - www.abc.com.py -pages 12 ,14 , 18 and 61 . I should also add that I personally know the Foreign Minister . Whose only reply
Jan 27th, 2013 - 02:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0is : líes and more líes !
Perhaps certain countries in South America, are trying to form some kind of future union,
Jan 27th, 2013 - 07:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Disposing of little, uncooperative and unwanted nations first,
Thus giving more power to the few remaining powers, which would grow, and thus remove the next in line,
Perhaps certain countries in south America, would be must happier, if just Argentina, controlled the south, brazil controlled the hub,
And Hugo the bear, control the rest,
Just a thought.
.
A thought which just may hold a grain of truth .
Jan 27th, 2013 - 09:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“we will defend the interests of Paraguay in our meetings with the Europeans because we know the interests of Paraguay”
Jan 27th, 2013 - 09:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Paraguay has become a colony of Mercosur/UNASUR.
I wonder if they can get listed by the C24 as needing decolonisation?

Jan 28th, 2013 - 12:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0Sorry article has nothing to do with the Falklands. Troll your link on the dozen other articles that it might pertain to.

When neighbouring countries are dictating your economic policies and managing your foreign affairs with your 'best interests at heart' then for all intents and purposes you have become a protectorate and a modern day colony.
No need for a military invasion. Argentina and Brazil have pretty much got what they wanted.
Uhmm let me see Brazil Dilma from the workers party Venezuela communist also Uruguay have a buffoon(ex terrorist) Argentina corrupted(CK with hormones and Botox problems) and going socialist can even borrow money at 4.65 % in the free market ? Paraguay does not need to be in the Mercocrap the international community trust Paraguay more than Argentina.
Jan 28th, 2013 - 03:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brazil monetary policy will lead to high inflation like all the other Bolivarian countries Dilma(Ex Terrorist) will make sure of that she will intervene in the free market by trying to control prices for ideological reasons she is just as stupid as the other Bolivarian menagerie.
Cuba is the most democratic country in the Americas and is invited by the Bolivarian gorillas How screw-up Latam is.
PS: Venezuela violated their constitution the gorilla is nowhere to be seen.
