OAS head meets ousted Paraguay leader - Gayo Lues
The Monday meeting came days after the Paraguayan Senate voted to remove President Lugo from office.
“It has been good so far. We’ve collected a lot of background information, a lot of information. Some of it we didn’t have (before), analysis that we also didn’t have,” the OAS head Jose Miguel Insulza told reporters in Asuncion.
On June 21, Paraguay’s Senate removed Lugo from office after a five-hour impeachment trial.
He was accused of mishandling an armed clash over a land dispute in which seven police officers and ten landless farmers were killed on June 15.
Lugo was immediately replaced by his pro-US deputy, Federico Franco. The move has prompted harsh criticism inside the country and among its neighboring nations.
On Friday, South American foreign ministers suspended Paraguay from the regional trade bloc, Mercosur, over ouster of Lugo.
Several South American nations have recalled their ambassadors from Asuncion, permanently or for consultation, in a bid to show their opposition to the dismissal of a democratically elected president.
