to the global economy with mike stronger the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into reports. here with r t live from moscow our top stories ickes ations of more deadly carnage in syria rebels claimed pro-government troops attacked a village in the province killing at least two hundred people while the regime blames armed terrorist groups that's as the u.n. debates a new resolution to restore peace. russian parliament has approved tougher scrutiny for groups from from abroad which will soon have to declare themselves as foreign agents the u.s. has been quick to express concern despite having almost identical legislation itself. and it's revealed that britain's olympic security is not up to speed that's just two weeks ahead of the game london's being forced to drop in thousands of

troops as private contractors have already been paid millions of pounds failed to hit the mark. strain times with its neighbors has plagued power guei ever since its . ousted its president fernando lugo in what many are calling an institutional coup now last month it took just some forty eight hours for opposition groups to impeach their leader in the wake of a violent crackdown several law enforcement officials blame blamed for a number of deaths but then promoted the vice president frederico franco then. the regional trade group suspended the contrary calling it a new leadership he didn't talks exclusively to have to close president moved out in his first major interview since being forced out he says the people will not forget the assault on their democracy. but up there with mabel mia the main thing is that nothing has happened according to me at all is quiet going to move rally

with me to have a sickness out because i the president what the legitimately elected government don't want. it for it's important for the media to reflect the truth of what's going on here when i was in this repetition of the democratic process and the people who think it is always in their minds their personal history and the history of civil society if then because they say that if nothing is happening no one has america still expelled york if nothing's happened why has you know sort of held us that if the if nothing's happened and everything's all right why is the european union sending a commission to a back country so it can't be so good nothing at all as i said i thought it was something very serious and has happened that he said below is a serious violation with a parliamentary coupe. without president elected according to the constitution by george c. of o. yours was impeached earlier. well as the new president tells r.t. his country's exclusion from trade groups does not trouble him frederico franco

gave r.t. spanish language channel an exclusive insight on why paraguay is ready to go it alone if necessary. what raises most doubts about the impeachment of fernando lugo is how quickly it all happened that this is why the regional stakeholders are questioning the extent to which this event was democratic do you agree it all happened very quickly i agree it all happened so quickly i even don't have the relevant card for a president we've yet to finalize all the formal stuff on my presidency we only had two days to prepare for my new office and i guess it was unusually quick for all of us both at home and abroad for them as i talked to parliament on the need to extend the transfer of power and given an international dimension as you have just mentioned they told me the main thing is that the regime change should be one hundred percent peaceful the fact that one hundred twenty out of one hundred twenty five m.p.'s voted for the impeachment clearly indicates that this decision was

taken almost unanimously a majority of ninety five percent of m.p.'s is self-explanatory he said. what if the reason for the differences is that the international community at least uniter and marcus' or which are going to expel paraguay i use this hasty impeachment as a breach of democracy but if they consider it illegitimate do you agree. and logic and i totally disagree there's a lot i have to say especially to argentina but i will keep silent on that for now the time is not yet right this impeachment was fully constitutional fernando lugo did have a right to legal defense and he made use of it he had enough time to present his argument before the impeachment procedure president lugo publicly declared that he was ready for it when he was deposed he was free to leave the government there was no use of force. whole process was legal and constitutional feel. what do you mean by hinting you have a lot to say you're reluctant to discuss it to avoid interfering with domestic

politics aren't you at all that we've been here these are smart questions why don't you comment on the recent coups in argentina. and yet you filed a claim against the expulsion of paraguay from yunus or america sort do you think it will be satisfied by what i left we are indeed concerned about marcus or not you know so and why is that. correct why isn't even a member yet marcus or is important for us as a trade block that opens access for the country to use the regional market with regards to yunus or our congress prefers to be cautious on a whole spectrum of issues especially when it comes to individual provisions of the treaty we consider unfair or it looks as if the paraguayan government couldn't care less about the expulsion from yunus or is there any other lesson you draw from this international reaction. it's really no big deal for us but at the very least it shows that your ideological kindred spirits are leaders like piñera but christina

kitchener or are cut from a different cloth. in fact in neighboring countries i mean argentina and brazil that did play out in general it was all skinned beforehand and the saddest thing about it is that venezuela was admitted to the union without prior negotiations on totally illegal and illegitimate grounds and that was the case with the expulsion of paraguayan what i see is as clear as day what do you think a moment of peace you represent the liberal party at what point did the liberal party disagree with fernando lugo's government deal and again on the fifteenth of june the police officers and eleven farmers were brutally murdered and the people responsible for this massacre promoted i don't believe this is ever happened in any other country that someone responsible for seventeen deaths were. be promoted to the post of a police commander those responsible for the incident that resulted in the deaths of seventeen paraguayans will certainly undergo trial for criminal negligence

sooner or later so one guilty party became a police commander and the other a regional commander at that point legitimacy was breached the president could no longer do his job this was something called serious mistakes while in office and this was the reason parliament impeached him but attended as i understand it the incident in the town of could do with the main reason for you. that's right i think . we can leaks in two thousand eleven wiki leaks posted a cable dated two thousand and nine containing rumors about opposition plans to impeach new go to topple him were you aware of this document when did you learn about it. no. no there wasn't anything like that it's only as for wiki leaks nobody bears responsibility for not even the department of state but as the country's leader i'm responsible for saying things the way they are. but they had never been a real impeachment opportunity here receiving a third of the votes in both chambers of parliament isn't an easy job you can't

just impeach at any time in any suitable situation it's an extreme measure which demonstrates their ultimate discontent of the ruling classes and public opinion but this measure isn't taken for trivial reasons it has profound motives behind it something that can justify this action and unite people in it see we think this is something that is difficult to achieve in a country where five parties in united you don't often see five parties united together on one against them. let's talk about the power of parliament i mean as president what difference do you see in the operation of the executive and the legislative branches of power to replace. in my country the constitution changed after thirty five years of dictatorship under the nine hundred ninety two constitution the largest share of power belongs to the president at what became a presidential republic with a functioning parliamentary government the parliament has a larger share of power than the executive or two different branches. it is i who

this is to me won't cause any difficulties in managing the country better than all your character male here but i hope so too i'd like to see this issue end well paraguay doesn't need any more impeachment because the country's governor it's my task to work with all political circles and establish a government based on the most gifted people on the politics is a science and the art of the possible we should manage paraguayan the most legitimate way and reach a consensus for all political circles. to take on as well but i think that you said that you wouldn't be running for upcoming elections in april and that you would remain in power until august fifteenth in your opinion what will paraguay face in the coming months what are your key objectives for this period and what changes are you expecting any international reaction. i think the normal you have on the indeed i've made a firm decision not to run as a candidate my desire to appease the country is one of the reasons for this

decision but secondly i will not be participating actively in the election process in april i'd rather work on ensuring my country is managed in such a way that the poorest segments of society those who don't even have the basics get practical assistance rather than just lip service all of this will and thirdly i will ensure i leave decent politics as a legacy for my successors of this includes for instance the energy sector education agricultural reform as well as the modernization of the country state has to change. emission free accreditation free transport charges free from arrangement free is free. to try free.
