The incoming vote in the Organization of American States (OAS, OEA in spanish) is likely to be favourable to Paraguay, thanks to the general secretary Insulza report, and support of the USA and many countries not aligned with Venezuela:

This is in open contrast with bitter and hysterical cries of "coup" from the OEA bolivarian alternative UNASUR, specially Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia, Uruguay, Venezuela and Brazil. These neighboring countries are still trying to isolate Paraguay both politically and economically, despite claims of no economic retaliations.

Life will continue normally around here, and the next presidential elections are but nine months away, so any sanctions will soon wane and cease. The radical left, supported by Venezuela & friends, is likely to score no more than 10% of the vote, just like in the last election. Hugo Chavez will hopefully die in a year or so, and Venezuela will face some tremors, as will eventually do Argentina and Cuba.

The sorry state of affairs in politics and real democracy in the bolivarian block is well known, what is worrying is Brazil's high-handed , unlawfull, dogmatic and emotional position. NOT a way to gain a permanent seat in the UN security council.
