US embassy cable - 05ASUNCION746

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

REF: A. STATE 99038 
 
     B. ASUNCION 0612 
     C. STATE 75344 
 
Classified By: Ambassador John F. Keane for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d) 
 
1.  (C) Drawing on points in reftels (A) and (C) Ambassador 
reached Vice Minister Ruben Ramirez Lezcano (in absence of 
Foreign Minister and other Vice Foreign Minister, both of 
whom were traveling) to press for GOP support for Paolo 
Carozza.  Ramirez noted the arguments in favor of Carozza, 
but was non-committal. 
 
2.  (C) Comment:  We hope we are wrong, but we anticipate GOP 
will probably support the candidacy of one or both of its 
Mercosur partners, Argentina or Uruguay.
