don thompson dot com. starting from moscow our top stories international observers in syria have arrived in hama province to investigate a massacre in which over two hundred are reported dead as the u.s. rushes to condemn the syrian regime for the attack without u.n. evidence. acas versus big brother whistle blowers and computer experts gather in new york to highlight what they see as intensifying u.s. government spying on its own people. and the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton goes to egypt to personally ensure the military council hands power over to the radical islamist president of what she calls a democratic transition right now our exclusive interview with the ousted president of paraguay fernando man the man who took over from a controversial circumstances federico franco is coming right. but as he and mr

president welcome to the program how do you feel about recent events what are people saying b. and. 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 this parliamentary cooed disrupted the democratic process in the country and made it lose as well as the whole region it distressed mercosur and illness or the paraguayans around raged 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 thousand nine hundred but it was a grave violation of law a president who was elected constitutionally by a majority of votes gets illegally ousted that really made the people angry but if you. look at mr president right after you were voted out of office you spoke as if you were resigning of your own accord you also looked as if you weren't quite

yourself later with a more energetic logo like there while we see now so why did you fail to be as convincing in your resistance to the coup in those first hours up 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 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 but for the look at them so what are the media doing with their reporting what is the role of the media here in paraguay but away with i mean one thing which drew our attention here at us and is that the political situation in the country is not being talked about much why society are reacting like this is it fear or just apathy. 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 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 a man and so bloody therefore it's important for the media to reflect the truth of what's going on here now is a disruption of the democratic process and the people won't forget this there are things that are never forgotten just because nothing is said about them but i think this parliamentary coupe committed 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 i say if nothing has happened why has marcus or expelled us york if nothing's happened why has eunice 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 over that nothing has happened or something very serious has happened here a serious violation with a parliamentary coupe a coup d'etat when the president elected according to the constitution by a majority of votes was impeached overnight. in two thousand and eleven we can expose today cable dated the thousand and nine from the us embassy in association to the department of state it contained rumors about up position plans to topple your through parliament and to hand power to federico franco were you aware of this document. but oh no i wasn't aware of the document that was published in twenty eleven that 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 know 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 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 of the seat of government ok mr bernanke of the body some say you could have drawn on popular support for reforms for instance in agriculture or energy security to resist a parliament that was getting increasingly antagonistic do you think you missed a chance to ease tensions is there anything you could have done better. for the young i don't think so 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 funds 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 so we said no well that was the straw that broke the camel's back on the. last question mr president and also franco promised he would not run for presidency in the april elections now he says he will step down by the fifteenth of august while president will go seek a comeback for a democratic election can you picture yourself as a two thousand and thirteen candid i mean 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 this scenario is unlikely i believe i will have to take the political track and run for the presidency on what they can tell me i've already been president and can only be reelected after one term in power in accordance with the

constitution whether. is 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 there are lots of legal tricks to do that. but here the law mr president thank you for your time. thank you. well for the logo was replaced by a former deputy frederico franco the new president will lead a transition government into the elections in april next year but he says he won't stand then and will hand over power to the winner by august twenty thirty next and franco explains why he believes his predecessor was out. what raises most doubts about the impeachment a fair number will go is how quickly it all happened that is why the regional stakeholders are questioning the extent to which this event was democratic do you agree it all happened very quickly or not as i greet all happened so quickly i even don't have the relevant card for a president we have yet to finalize all the formal stuff on my presidency we only had two days to prepare my new office i guess it was on usually quick for all of us

are both at home and abroad and so i talked to parliament on the need to extend the transfer of power and give it 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 and 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. what if the reason for the differences is that the international community at least a year or so are in america sore which are going to expel paraguayan use this hasty impeachment as a breach of democracy what if they consider it illegitimate do you agree. and i totally disagree there is 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. had enough time to present all

humans before the impeachment procedure prison luger publicly declared he was ready for it when he was deposed he was free to leave the government there was no use of force will produce as was legal and constitutional. what do you mean by hinting you have a lot to say you are reluctant to discuss it to avoid interfering with home poets aren't here. these are small questions why didn't you comment on the recent coups in anjan tina. and yet you filed a claim against the suspension of paraguayan from you know sore america so or do you think it will be satisfied by what i would say we are indeed concerned about america's sewer but not eunice or and why is that paraguayan isn't even a member yet and as far as i know the accession has yet to be approved by the congress not to sue or is important for us as a trade bill of the tippens access with the country to use the regional markets with regards to yunus or congress prefers to be cautious on the whole spectrum of

issues especially when it comes to individual provisions of the treaty we consider on fan looks as if the paraguayan government couldn't care less about this expansion from you know sort of going to is there any other last and you have drawn from this era national reaction it is really new big deal for us but at the very least it shows that your ideological kindred spirits our leaders like can hear well christian a carrot or deal more or soft are cut from a different cloth. in fact neighboring countries i mean argentina and brazil did play a major rule it was all scheme before hand and they said it's thing about it is that's been was admitted to the union without trying to go she ations illegal and illegitimate grounds and that was also the case with this is why this is as clear as day and. you represent the liberal party at what point did the liberal party disagree with her and on the logos government. and. the.

june six 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 would be promoted to the post of a police commander but those responsible for the incident will certainly undergo trial for criminal negligence sooner or later so one guilty party became a police commander and the other a regional commander and that point legitimacy was breached the president could no longer do his job this was something called serious mistakes one in office and this was the reason call them and impeach him. wealthy british style.
