Paraguay's former President Fernando Lugo gives a press conference in Asuncion, Paraguay, Friday, June 29, 2012. The Mercosur trade bloc decided not to slap economic sanctions on Paraguay after the removal of Lugo as its president because they felt it would hurt the Paraguayan people. Mercosur leaders criticized Lugo's impeachment and barred his replacement, former Vice President Federico Franco, from attending the summit. (AP Photo/Jorge Saenz)
