At a summit marked by strong differences between Argentina and Venezuela, Mercosur signed a statement in defense of the “unrestricted support of human rights”. Earlier in the day there was a serious exchange between Argentine president Mauricio Macri who demanded all political prisoners in Venezuela be set free, and president Nicolas Maduro foreign minister who replied that Macri was 'meddling' in Venezuela's affairs and was applying a 'double standard' on the issue.

Good for Macri. It is about time someone spoke up about the political prisoners in Venezuela.

Hang on. What about the “democratic clause, that argieland, brazil and uruguay used to ”suspend“ paraguay? Same clause to ”suspend” venezuela. Same in unasur. Or perhaps democratic countries could pinpoint latino shite. Or american B52 could carpet bomb. And then there's nothing left.

The leftist leaders of MS should be ashamed of themselves.

They're nothing but Progs trying to secure power through bribery and intimidation

Tick Tock, the people have finally woken up to their nonsense and are throwing them out all over the world.
Bankrupt them, their families, their cronies and throw them in jail where they belong.

A legit socialist mammalia sapiens, commonly recognized as Dilma Vana Rusev certainly has a collection of bribed-off to the bone puppets to play around, while a whole nation its totally collapsing to the ground, and or perhaps straight back to its original vortex hole.”

The reason I never use the same name on different fora. I create a new unique with a new unique email address for any site like this. Even Facebook doesn't get my real name.

Funnily enough Paul sounds downright civilised on that site.

“Macri added that his administration was happy to see the government of Venezuela accepted all the results from the recent legislative elections...” And MadNic is already in the process of applying pressure on the opposition to have their election suspended. From mdzol.com : According to the MUD, the ruling filed with the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) an action to contest 22 opposition MPs elected in the parliamentary elections on 6 December.

@8 Quite right, never use your real name on social media or forums or anything associated with your email(s) either. It only leaves you vulnerable to anyone inclined to lose all perspective, take the cyber world too seriously and attempt to find you in the real one. There are a lot of strange people online.

Seems like Delcy Rodriguez is a bigger, brazen-faced liar than fat ass Dilma is....DR's defense of VZ human rights' record is a disgusting farce.
You can be sure that Brazil's fat-ass signed the declaration reiterating “the importance of the defense and strong thrust to the values and full compliance of democratic institutions.......”, believing it in the same manner as she believes in the PT's unique version of democracy....a democracy where she can do whatever she wants, where breaking the Law is only considered 'breaking the Law' when the opposition does it.
An easy solution to force all countries to abide by the rules, is kick VZ out of Mercosul. It has nothing positive to offer.

@11. Have to agree with your last sentence/paragraph. Venezuela only got in because CFK “fixed” it. Now Macri, if he has got any guts, can spend a year or so reversing everything she did.
