Paraguay Reports 2nd
Cross-Border Raid by
Brazilian Troops
Buenos Aires -
Paraguay's Defense
Ministry reported a
second cross-border
incursion by the
Brazilian troops on
Friday.
It was the second
similar incident in a
week after the Brazilian
troops entered
Paraguayan district La
Paloma with tanks and
other armaments,
allegedly by mistake, in
military exercises on
Wednesday.
Paraguayan President
Fernando Lugo tried to
communicate with his
Brazilian counterpart
Luiz Inacio Lula da
Silva to ask for
explanations about the
troops' movements,
Paraguayan daily ABC
Color reported.
Paraguayan Interior
Minister Rafael
Filizzolla said Friday
that what occurred on
Wednesday infringed
Paraguay's sovereignty
and the events worried
and irritated the
Paraguayan government.
"The events are acts
that do not contribute
to the good environment
that must be maintained
between neighboring
countries, especially
those who are involved
in an integration
process," Filizzolla
said.
Brazil has not commented
on the military events
so far.
