Santiago Peña seeks to make Mercosur more flexible
In the last days, Uruguay added the support of the government of Paraguayan in his claim to make Mercosur more flexible, after Santiago Peña affirmed that he wants “a more open Mercosur”.
“Paraguayan is in the middle of two very large economies, it also happens to Uruguay. When the president of Uruguay says they could negotiate separately with Chinawhat he does is raise his voice and tell them: gentlemen, or we make the mercosur for us, or we have to go out and look for other markets”.
In turn, the candidate elected by the Colorado party Paraguayan rejected the idea of a common currency for Mercosur, which was promoted by Argentina and Brazilexplaining that this measure “does not suit anyone because the basic condition for it to work is that the countries are in the same economic cycles, and that does not happen. Paraguayan has an annual inflation of 4%, and Argentina of more than 100%,” he remarked.
