FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Federico Franco, his vice president, was quickly sworn in to cheers in the
Congress as Paraguay’s
new leader.
Mr Lugo acknowledged that it would be “very difficult” to return in
power, but said there should be no more violence, adding: “Peacefully,
the democratic process will continue, with more strength.”
Mr Franco said on Saturday that he hoped Mr Lugo would help him stem the
international outcry over the change in power.
“Right now I’m trying to speak with President Lugo. I’m going to do it. I
think his presence as a Paraguayan is very important to give an
international image, because right now we need a legally constituted
government,” he said.
No foreign government however has recognised Paraguay’s new leadership.
Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay – Paraguay’s partners in the Mercosur trading
bloc – recalled their ambassadors for consultations.
Cristina Kirchner, the Argentina leader called the move a coup and warned that
Mercosur could take measures against Paraguay. In theory, that could include
suspension from the group.
Mr Franco, who served as Mr Lugo’s vice president, earlier defended the ouster
of his predecessor as being in compliance with the country’s constitution,
and he insisted “there was no coup.”
“There are no soldiers in the street,” he added.
But he acknowledged he was concerned about the international reaction.
Paraguay is one of the poorest countries in South America and Mr Lugo, a
former Catholic bishop, vowed to improve the quality of life of low-income
families when his election ended six decades of rule by the Colorado party.
But he struggled to push reforms, including land redistribution to poor
peasant farmers, through Congress.
A cancer scare and several paternity scandals dating back to his time as a
bishop added to his difficulties.
