Credit: Reuters/Jorge Adorno By Daniela Desantis and Guido Nejamkis ASUNCION | Mon Jun 25, 2012 2:17pm EDT ASUNCION (Reuters) - Paraguay's new center-right president swore in his cabinet on Monday as neighboring nations intensified diplomatic pressure over the sudden impeachment of his leftist predecessor, Fernando Lugo. Federico Franco took office on Friday moments after Lugo, a former Roman Catholic bishop, was ousted by the opposition-controlled Congress in an impeachment hearing that lasted less than six hours. Lugo's sudden ouster a year from the end of his term has drawn strong criticism and diplomatic sanctions from many governments in a region scarred by coups and political instability in the 1970s and 1980s. Lugo initially said he accepted Congress's decision, prompting some governments to recognize Franco's administration. He has taken a tougher line, however, as regional pressure mounts on Franco - Lugo's former vice president and one of his harshest critics. On Monday, Lugo compared himself to former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, who was ousted in 2009 by the army on the basis of a court order that had backing from Congress. Zelaya's ouster drew a similar response from regional leaders who wanted to send a stern warning about the potential consequences of similar moves. Senator Carlos Filizzola, a close Lugo ally, said "re-establishing democratic order means that President Lugo, who was elected legally and legitimately ... returns to the post that is rightfully his." Franco held his first cabinet meeting on Monday and the president of Congress, Jorge Oviedo Matto, shrugged off the international pressure and said the change of government was "irreversible" and in line with the constitution. Franco's administration has been banned from attending a summit this week of the Mercosur trade bloc, which also groups Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, and many countries have called back their ambassadors, permanently or for consultations. Lugo will take part in the gathering and officials say Paraguay could be suspended from the bloc and the UNASUR group of South American nations, which may hold an emergency meeting this week to discuss the crisis, diplomatic sources said. Germany said Europe was watching events in the landlocked soy-exporting nation with concern and a U.S. State Department official said Washington was "deeply concerned with the speed of the process used for the impeachment. Despite the chorus of international concern, Paraguay's quiet riverside capital has been calm with only a few low-key demonstrations in support of Lugo's reinstatement. His impeachment was triggered by clashes that killed six police and 11 peasant farmers during a land eviction earlier this month. Paraguay is one of the poorest countries in South America and Lugo, 61, vowed to improve the quality of life of low-income families when his election ended six decades of rule by the conservative Colorado party. But he struggled to push reforms, including land redistribution to poor peasant farmers, through Congress. A cancer scare and several paternity scandals dating back to his time as a bishop added to his difficulties. When his allies from the Liberal Party formally withdrew support for him on Thursday, they cleared the way for the impeachment trial.
