The coup d'état to Paraguay

International The former substituted president will go to the meeting of the Mercosur The coup d'état to Paraguay By: Carlos Damián April 30, 2013 There were 24 intents to deprive him: Augusto two Saints México. - “We were victim of a coup d’parlementaire", exclaimed the president from Paraguay, Fernando Lugo (FL), who he met in the first hours of this Sunday with demonstrators' thousands that support him and they went to impede the intervention of public television for Federico Franco's new government blower that several countries don't recognize and they continue retiring ambassadors of Asuncion, the Uruguayan capital. Lugo talked about the external interference and he said that they didn't allow it to prepare neither to assume its defense. He underlined that it accepted the decision in intent to avoid a repression that produced deaths, after seeing excited the quantity of demonstrators that it supported him in the surroundings of the Congress while it was carried out “the farce” of their dismissal last Friday (6/22/12). On the other hand the Minister of Communication and Information of FL, Augusto dos Santos, announced this afternoon that FL is invited and he will go to the Summit of the Common Market of the South (Mercosur), this it will be carried out June 28 in Mendoza, Argentina, and for decision of the countries members of the organism, since they don't recognize to the arisen government of the cup d’état parliamentary. Dos Santos announced that in the first hours of this Monday he will meet the cabinet of FL to dialogue on the situation and to take into account the popular mobilization that doesn't cease in the Paraguayan capital and inside the country, but also the great international answer that demonstrates strong solidarity and rejection to the cup d’état. A president more it bit the powder Fernando Lugo to scarce day of reaching four years like president from Paraguay, the call “poor’s bishop” was “destituted” by the Congress of his country, after a political trial for the fast track, for “wrong acting of his functions". For the Organization of American States (OAS) it was a play to run him for a “hidden coup d’état". When revising the case we find a leader anything secured by social movements bound to the town, divorced of the reality being in the clouds carrying out a service to the great people without being linked strongly to the same one, and to the congress members to the service of the factic powers and the local oligarchy. Not few interests created were in play making the perfect combination to sum up the causes of the destitution officially. These serious causes to be run of their position as president were in the first place for “the wrong acting of their functions", the death of 17 people (11 peasants and six policemen) in a failure of peasants’ expulsion when they occupied lands in Curuguaty, in the department of Canindeyu, to generate a crisis with the peasants of the district of Ñacunday, and the insecurity that one lives in the South American country. “This Paraguayan episode is developing of the difficulties that the Latin American governments face when they decide to go away, be this way a little, of the neoliberal postulates and to confront privileged political and economic categories, embedded in the public and reluctant institutions to give an apex in their historical privileges, although it implies it the subversion of the democratic principles and of the popular will. For practical effects, “the oligarchic conspiracy that was consummated in the Paraguayan Senate is equal to a restoration of the authoritarian régime that prevailed during more than six decades until before the election of FL in 2008, and whose first repressive edges had place with the aggressions of elements of the police against the popular resistance that congregated in the Square of Asuncion's Weapons for it support the leader". As for the economic matter FL made it well if we compare it with the previous presidents, and according to the Cepal its government achieved a rate of growth very superior (twice as much) of the one obtained by the current tenant of ‘Los Pinos residence’. It was able to increase the income of the “less favored” Paraguayans" (neoliberal euphemism to classify the wretches). Also in this context it was able to increase the fiscal reception, mainly of the big private consortia, contrasting in Mexico that in more than six decades of colorados governments (for the political party) in fact they didn't pay any tax to the State apparatus. In their almost four years in their republican presidency, the government of FL reported a average rate yearly of growth of 3.85 percent, and in 2010 it headed the inventory of Latin American countries with the best economic behavior (with Calderon the best reached place was the number 16, of 20 possible). In 2011 the Cepal points, the tributary revenues were increased 153.8 percent with relationship to the previous year, mainly due to the biggest collection in the taxes on the rent that increased 24.7 percent. In the same way, they registered considerable increases of the collection (13.5 percent) of IVA (in Spanish) and of the taxes to the trade to the exterior (13.4%). The collection was favored by the notable it demands it interns registered by the Paraguay in 2011. On the other hand, the non tributary revenues increased 19.6 percent; their more important component was the resources coming from the entities binationals Itaipu and Yacyreta that ascended to almost 620 million dollars (equivalent to 2.4 percent of the GIP), what represents an increment of 13.7 percent regarding 2010. In total, the public revenues (tributary, not tributary and of capital) they showed it rises interannual of 18.3%. In the environment legislative, the Cepal concludes, it highlights the “progress” of the law from tax to the individual’s rent that, after being postponed during the last four years, it has been approved by the Chamber of Deputies, and about to be approved in the Chamber of Senators, this is for the legislative's segment that destituted Lugo last Friday (6/22/12).
