Mercosur only signed the free trade agreement with Europe if there is a clause that allows us to prevent and retaliate trade with the share of 5 Eye there.

How ironic that the next Mercosur-EU summit will be held at the heart of corruption in Latin American Football, CONMEBOL, in Paraguay, the last two of whose heads are currently either pending extradition to USA (Leoz) or under arrest in Switzerland (Napout). And this decision on the venue was taken at the insistence of President Cartes of Paraguay, a former local soccer chief himself and close friend of both of the above, whose own CV has a blank space for four years in his life (1985-89). Who's next?
