In his recent visit to Brazil, Gen. Douglas Fraser (US Southern Command) praised the non-political stance and respect of the constitution of the paraguayan armed forces in the recent impeachment crisis. This is in a very obvious response to Brazil's government's posture on this issue.

During the last hours of the impeachment, several UNASUR countries led by Venezuela's foreign secretary blatantly tried to put pressure on the armed forces to reject the outcome of the impeachment, to no avail.
