Cartes (Colorado Party) says that “Venezuela is a great market. I don’t want to personalize the issue; I want to have the brotherly Caribbean country as part of our regional market”.

He seems to be extending Mercosur in to the Caribbean!
If it were worth a fig and were the most ethical and vibrant organisation in the Americas, there might be some sense in this. But it is not; it is bizzare, non-functional and a world-joke.

Perhaps he believes that Paraguay should underwrite with financial and commodity aid all those poor ALBA nations of the Caribbean.
Bet he does not write that into his Party Manifesto!

Will Salomon Lerner be writing a detailed report of what happened during the Venezuela elections as well as the period leading to the taking office of the new government so that foreign ministers and president of Unasur make a decision on the validity of the elections?.
