Uruguay insists Mercosur must achieve “a free trade zone which effectively works”

Uruguay again complained about the current stalled situation of Mercosur and called for members to 'sincere' themselves regarding the compliance of the original 1991 founding charter, and hopefully “we can at least reach the first stage of the chronogram: a free trade zone which effectively works and has not to bear the brunt of hurdles”.

    Seems Uruguay and Paraguay are not marching in lock step with their bigger neighbours now.

    Will be interesting to see what actually changes.

    @1. Nothing will happen. What do Arg, Braz and Venecuba care about the small fry? There was a brief period when I thought Paraguay had found some guts and principles.

    @ 1 Nothing. Brazil have destroyed their economy with corruption at all levels and ditto for TDC.

    ””Paraguay is a world energy power, with abundant surpluses, and in Uruguay we have some shortcomings“, said Nin Novoa.

    No shit Sherlock! Try getting UTE sorted out from being a self-serving arrogantly run 'company' (I do hate using that term for a government run monopoly) into a forward looking and proactive, instead of reactive, concern.

    But that will NEVER happen: UTE and ANCAP (liquid and gaseous fuels government monopoly) are tools for The Broad Fraud to pad their people into to get a little earner for doing nothing.

    Argentina will still try to keep Uruguay down whilst taking electricity off us and NOT paying for it. Sound familiar to anyone?

    Show some respectable for democracy, Chris. Remember what happened last time you tried to sell ANCAP (Ahorre Nafta Caminando A Pié)? Antel?
    Those are OUR companies. Uruguay's. The people's.

    And they are just as effective as we make them.

    If you don't like it, you may have chosen wrong country to live in.

    @ 4 Breakdowns R Us

    Given the fact that you do not live in Uruguay and I do, I have more right than you to say what I think and KNOW about The Broad Fraud.

    Unlike me, you have not invested a UYU Pesos in the place and therefore have no right to discuss finances either.

    You have a VERY short memory, I have been here for four years, the attempt to divest these dreadfully run companies failed because the populace knew it would be a stitch up for the polls and given the antics of The broad Fraud they were correct. That was years before I came here.

    No wonder you are happy to give thousands of dollars worth of electricity away to your 'mates' the argies.

    BTW, how is your 'free energy' machine coming along: about as well as you being unable to answer a second year engineering student question about energy flows into / out of a sealed room with a working fridge inside with the door open.

    Now you know what I have told you about bringing the next breakdown on: you can't say I haven't warned you.

    As I told you before, there's a reason you can't vote in Uruguay.

    Spend your cash, that's why you are accepted, old man...

    But at least try to respect our democracy.

    “But at least try to respect our democracy.”

    Why? Do you not realise that you have to EARN respect, it doesn't come free and can be lost forever in an instant when it is clear it is no longer deserved?

    The democracy Uruguay once had has been dismantled by a bunch of communist / Marxist crooks brought together under The Broad Fraud for no other reason than immense self-interest: NOT that of the country.

    You seem to have forgotten that The Harridan, La Tronca promised to “get the people out on the streets” if the election “went the wrong way” and YOU respect that?

    Good job you are not in Uruguay then.

    BTW I will be able to vote in the next round of local elections and after I am given a passport in national elections as well.

    Next month I am going to increase considerably my investments in Uruguay. Apart from your mouth what are you investing?

    In order to understand what la Tronca says, you need to understand the language, old fool. Google translate is obviously not helping...

    Only local election you will be attending, is supper time...

    @ 8 Breakdowns R Us

    I do understand the jibber-jabber better than you think and I am all too aware of the little foibles that Google Translate puts in or takes out.

    But anyway, you clearly have not read the piece about Novick, the independent who is standing against The Hag for mayor, or don't you read El Pais, Uruguay? The Hag claims he is not democratic because he is independent of a party and 'it is the parties who control the delegates“!!! Stupid, stupid bitch.

    I think it has more to do with the fact that Novick is gaining supporters whilst her base is static at best. Her bid to spend U$D 300M on free tickets on the MVD buses for ”The Workers“ soon got shot down because MVD cannot afford it and The Hag wants the Central Bank to fund it!

    The other muppets who are running are claiming he will rob the treasury: ha, ha, ha, he's a self made man and can buy The Broad Fraud outright if he wanted to.

    Read the comments section as well and you will see what ordinary citizens think of the murdering, thieving ”democratic” MPP: it's very bad.

    Given he has all of them against him I think he must be doing something right that appeals to the voters, as his rapidly climbing base suggests.

    You need to get closer to Uruguay.

    Try the mouth of the plate where all the shit coloured water is, you will be right at home.

    Novick is independent?
    According to you, or el Pais?
    Why do you read that anyway, no wonder you cockatoo a lot...

    You think FA will lose IMM?

    Worst case scenario is Daniel Martinez for intendente, and that's far from your taste...

    Novick independent... Hahahaha

    Tricky language, no Chris?

    Hahahahaha

    “Tricky language, no Chris? ”

    12,292 verbs listed by the 'controlling department' in Spain.

    68 working verb groups.

    Inanimate objects have a gender attached to them. Does anybody with a brain understand why a door is feminine? Can anyone explain whatever passes as logic concerning this? I know the frogs and many others have this cross to bear.

    Reversed content compared to the first language of the world for diplomacy and business: ENGLISH.

    Rules applied are not consistent when compared with ENGLISH.

    ALL areas of the country have different grammar, far in excess of anything experienced in the UK (not talking about dialect here).

    So I wouldn't say tricky: stupid and illogical, yes.

    You don't get it, you mean...

    Novick is still independent?

    Of what, exactly?

    And you are going to vote next year, you say?

    Hahahahaha!!!

    As usual you never answer my questions, just pose yet another nonsensical load of garbage.

    I have had it with you.

    Just like with the fridge thing. You invent an answer in your old, stubborn head, and then you pretend it's mine...

    And what did you ask? Why door is femenin? That would be because port is masculin...
