Maduro apologizes to Paraguay for any ‘pain’ caused and promises ‘to repair the error’

Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro apologized to his peer Paraguayan peer Horacio Cartes for any ‘pain’ caused to Paraguay and promised a ‘sacrifice’ to repair the ‘error’, according to sources from both presidents and from Brazilian leader Dilma Rousseff who sponsored the meeting between the two heads of state in the framework of the recent Unasur VII summit in Suriname.


--------------
The Paraguayan leader also “publicly thanked Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro for his willingness to repair any error, pain or injury that he might have caused to the Paraguayan people”, revealed Cartes.

----------
The previous Paraguayan government under President Federico Franco blamed Venezuela as one of the sponsors of isolating the country and having Asuncion suspended from Mercosur and Unasur, following the impeachment in the Senate, with an overwhelming vote, which decided the removal Fernando Lugo from office for incompetence.

At the time Foreign minister Maduro was caught on tape trying to convince the top commanders of the Paraguayan armed forces to take to the streets in support of the removed Lugo.
