The Paraguayan government's domestic and international standing rapidly degenerated over the weekend after the Senate impeached President Fernando Lugo on June 22, replacing him with his vice president, Federico Franco. There have been minor protests, and several South American countries condemned Lugo's impeachment, calling it a "coup in disguise." Member states of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) recalled their ambassadors from Paraguay, and Venezuela — which supplies roughly 30 percent of Paraguay's oil consumption, according to ABC Color — said it would halt oil exports to the country. The foreign ministries of Brazil and Argentina said Paraguay would be barred from attending the June 28 Mercosur summit and from participating in the trade bloc entirely until new elections are held in 2013.
