In reply to the discussion: Why Venezuela's Neighbors Are Hoping For A Chavez Win Sunday [View all]Judi Lynn
(164,122 posts)18. The Colorado Party which has completely controlled Paraguay over 61 years IS fascist.
That's why the election of Lugo was so deeply important, and appreciated by the massive poor of the country.
If it happened once, it can most surely happen again. The greedy, filthy elite scum are NOT going to control the world forever, no matter how hard they try, and plot, and scheme, and kill as many of the poor as they can. The filth will have to accept that fact they fight like lunatics to keep it from happening, lying, cheating, stealing, torturing, murdering anyone and everyone they can without bringing injury to themselves.
They prefer to steal the government and leave the dirty work to the soldiers, to death squads, and criminals.

The events of June 2012 were the culmination of the efforts over the previous three years by the powerful elites in the opposition to undermine the Lugo administration. In many ways, this was a political crisis waiting to happen, an almost inevitable response from elites to a reformist administration. Indeed, the impeachment reveals a number of longer-term characteristics of Paraguayan politics: the opposition to long-overdue social reforms by the political class, the nature of Congress as the political embodiment of the tiny elite that runs the country, the overwhelming nature of Paraguays social problems, especially land ownership, and the weak position of Paraguay in relation to its neighbours.

The fascists (the Colorado Party) still rules the country, obviously. They are entrenched.
