"Madam President, we wish to declare our deepest concern regarding, and condemnation of, the coup against the sovereign and democratically elected President in Paraguay.
President Fernando Lugo was ousted by impeachment; driven out by the Paraguayan Congress, controlled by the majority conservative opposition, who did not adhere to the democratic rules and granted him less than 24 hours to prepare himself and only two hours to prepare his defence. It was an illegal impeachment, which did not respect the due process, or guarantee the right of defence, in which the democratic will that decided to change the Paraguayan Government after years of dictatorship and conservative majority has been manipulated.
Let us speak plainly. There has been a parliamentary coup in Paraguay. That is what the Union of South American Nations (Unasur), the Organization of American States (OEA), the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), and the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA) countries have all called it. Parliament should join this international condemnation of the impeachment against the constitutional President of Paraguay.
We convey our solidarity with the people of Paraguay and I want to say that it is not a coup against Fernando Lugo, as such, but rather a coup against Paraguay and its democracy.
As they say in Guarani …"@en1
