Washington-backed presidential wannabe Juan Guaido speaking in Caracas
CALLS are growing for the resignation of Paraguayan President Mario Abdo after a report showed that he entered discussions with Venezuelan usurper Juan Guaido to reduce debt repayments by Paraguay’s oil industry.
The opposition Guasu Front party demanded Mr Abdo’s resignation or impeachment following the revelation, saying on Tuesday that other parties should not be “accomplices in these new scandals of surrender, corruption and impunity.”
According to the report first published by the Washington Post last week, Paraguayan government officials entered secret discussions with Mr Guaido, the former president of Venezuela’s National Assembly who fronted countless Washington-backed attempts to overthrow President Nicolas Maduro.
