hello again this is all see a quick check of the headlines. accusations of more deadly college and see where rebels claim pro-government troops are targeting village and the home province killing at least two hundred people while the regime blames almost terror groups that says the u.n. debates a new resolution to restore peace. it's reveals that britain's olympic security is not up to speed just two weeks ahead of the games london's things those to drop ten thousands of troops as private contractors have already been paid millions of pounds fails to hit them all. on groups in russia that are funded from abroad might
12:31 am
soon have to declare themselves as foreign agents of the parliament to give its final approval to trick them on a train that the us has been quick to express concern despite having almost identical legislation etc. and up next on his exclusive interview with parg wise ousted president fernando lugo who says the coup against him was an assault on the people's democracy. but up here mr president welcome to the program how do you feel about a recent events or what are people saying. i would first like to say hello to your audience i'm happy to see the international press interested in the events in paraguay the parliamentary koon the paraguayan people who resist it we have all lost here is parliamentary coote disrupted the democratic process in the country and made it lose as well as the whole region it distressed mercosur and.
12:32 am
paraguayans are outraged some say there was no coup because of zero violence and no tanks on the streets indeed it was nothing like a military coup of the one nine hundred seventy s. and one nine hundred eighty s. but it was a grave violation of law if a president who was elected constitutionally by a majority of votes gets illegally ousted that really made the people angry but i think that mr president right after you were voted out of office you spoke as if you were resigning of your own accord he also looked as if you weren't quite sure so later we saw him more an inch at a cool girl like the one we see now at the movies so what did you feel to be asked convincing in your resistance to the coup in those first hours and then i thought about what in the end i saw people out in the square they wanted me to go because of the ministers i knew that a new massacre was being prepared i am a convicted pacifist i didn't want to see any paraguayan lose their blood as a result of violence that's why we went along with this illegal and unfair process
12:33 am
it was a politically charged trial disguised as a constitutional process as one m.p. said it all looked like a circus designed to depose a democratically elected president what do you think about media accusations that are circulating speaking out against vice president federico franco taking over what do you agree with the situation make of aggravated once the. national interest in peril while we resolve for the international community stop swollen events in paraguay so closely there with the i believe it may be right of them and presently it's not only the international media that watch paraguay closely but so do international organizations we can definitely say that today in our country there is prosecution on political and ideological grounds on monday the european commission and organization of american states will arrive in our country we're also asking you know nervous or and other international organizations to participate in the process of restoring democracy in paraguay this isn't just about
12:34 am
the april twenty thirty election this is also about getting equal opportunities and eliminating censorship and persecution for ideological and political reasons that are taking place in our country now with as you mentioned the regional blocs sewer and marcos or even though federico franco who are you please to declare that he was going to rebut the paraguayans expulsion from microsoft it looks like those groups leaders who we agree on this will make their difficult for him what consequences of the long term expulsion from their regional blocs do you foresee or. we wouldn't want to see those consequences there's a widespread saying that innocent people pay for the transgressions of sinners isn't that true we wouldn't want to see economic sanctions or economic blockade have a negative impact on the lives of common people who export their bananas pineapples and oranges to europe why and argentina they will be the ones who end up hurt the
12:35 am
most therefore we disagree with the economic blockade of paraguay but we do support sanctions against these serious violations and that's why paraguay is expulsion from mirka sort of and even if so as a sanction against the political forces that staged the coup i'd like to ask you firstly what do you think about the role of the organization of american states and secondly in your view. what were the objectives of the e.u. countries such as spin germany and france when they are recognised federico franco is take over almost immediately and gore says restraint fact is that most nearby states in the region don't recognize it i believe it's much more important as there are such countries as vatican city and taiwan but what's the political weight of places like vatican city or thai well how can you compare twenty three foreign state with the political weight of argentina brazil or euro quietly our neighbors and brotherly states with whom we've been maintaining commercial diplomatic and
12:36 am
political relations you know what is the position of the church in this matter mean for you as a bill of rights. i believe that in politics reality is the most important aspect of the vatican's decision may well be symbolic but as i've said it has no real weight from the diplomatic commercial cultural and political viewpoints even compared to a country as small as euro quite euro gries recognition is much more significant than that of any other country including the e.u. but for that i look at that so what are the media doing with their reporting what is the role of the media here in paraguay why because of that i mean one thing which drew our attention here in our city on is that the political situation in the countries that are being talked about much you know why in society you are reacting like this as it is here just apathy that a. lot of them made that the fact of the matter is they don't like to talk about such events most of the media here the main thing is that nothing has happened
12:37 am
according to the media all is quiet there are no rallies no deaths no blood because i the president and the legitimately elected government don't want them so. therefore it's important for the media to reflect the truth what's going on here now is a disruption of the democratic process and the people will forget this if there are things that are never forgotten just because nothing is said about them i think this parliamentary kuiken. it it on the twenty first and twenty second of june this year will not be forgotten by the people because the coup is etched in their minds their personal history and the history of civil society and as they say if nothing has happened why has mergesort expelled us if nothing's happened why has yunus or expelled us if nothing's happened and everything's all right why is the european union sending a commission to our country the organization of american states held an extraordinary meeting and a commission they've come here from that organization so it can't be so that nothing has happened something very serious has happened here a serious violation
12:38 am
a parliamentary cuckoo a coup d'etat when the president elected according to the constitution by a majority of votes was impeached overnight and he will go in a week in twenty a woman we call exposed today keeble dated two thousand and nine from the us embassy in us and see on to the u.s. department of state and continue rumors about opposition plans to topple you through parliament and to hand power to federico franco were you aware of this document. but i know i wasn't aware of the document that was published in twenty eleven but i've said that parliament talked about a political trial for me twenty three times in all these years i always insist that the key merit of our government is that it didn't give up in view of these threats of political trials you especially on the part of parliament as for this issue of plotting and expulsion i keep saying that politicians will never forgive the fact that a toad of unknown origin such as fernando lugo who comes from neither the political
12:39 am
elite nor from traditional political parties just out of his obligation to the people of took their place they belong to them as politicians the chair of the lopez dynasty at the seat of government it again with a benign court that some see could have drawn popular support for the foreigners for instance in agriculture i want to manage the security of it to resist a parliament that was getting increasingly antagonistic do you think you missed. a chance to ease the tension here is there anything you could have done better. for this young that i don't think so but this parliament is dominated by traditionalists conservatives and right wing it and even if jesus christ shows up out of the blue and tells them to change their mind they were right we were sabotaged all the way the parliament gave us a budget with a deficit of eight hundred billion dollars so firms were in short supply for everything and when the chaco flood propelled a deep crisis they asked us for fifty billion dollars for their politicians mind you these politicians are members of political parties who get paid for nothing you
12:40 am
know so we said no that was the straw that broke the camel's back. but what about the long standing problem or for land ownership the whole of eighty two percent of the territories owned by only two percent of the population in the revamping of agriculture was one of your election plagiarism of something you strongly believed in. you know with who wields the real power in apparel why. in the. letter the country's land ownership structure defines its economic structure and with the same parliament whoever brings this question up will end up just like me today depends to an extent on executive power but it's the judiciary that sets the chief. the right to land is within the realm of the judiciary paraguayan is four hundred six thousand square kilometers large but if you take all the rights to land together it square mass will exceed five hundred twenty nine thousand square kilometers it's the judiciary the ground's rights to possess land
12:41 am
that already has two or three owners the. problem has no solution as long as the sea people remain in parliament but when you change the situation through democratic elections or war there are fundamental flaws in paraguay's border call system and better way. i'd say both the constitutional system is flawed our constitution was drafted in one thousand nine hundred two after the fall of a thirty five year long dictatorship and we handed the bulk of powers over from president to parliament but now it's parliament that has the most political clout and the use of ans have proven it indeed we submitted two claims on breach of the constitution to the supremes court but they were never published because parliament blocked them in other words parliament is used to threatening and blackmail is an argument against other branches of power but on the one last question mr president franco promised he would not run for presidency in the april elections now he says he will step down by august the fifteenth will president lugo all come back through
12:42 am
a democratic election can you picture yourself as a twentieth or a team candidate but i think. there are a number of ways out including legal and political as for the legal track we've initiated proceedings on constitutional violations the court has handed it over to the prosecutor's office should the court rule i return i will immediately take office but that scenario is unlikely i believe i will have to take the political track and run for the press. didn't say on your wish they can tell me i've already been president and can only be reelected after one term in power in accordance with the constitution where there's a will there's a way if you want to keep a person from running for office because he's a people's favorite and therefore a serious rival that there are lots of legal tricks to do that. but if you're the resident legal thank you for your time out of this thank you and all of us.
