MERCO PRESS/ Brasil's influential weekly magazine "Veja," is calling neighboring Paraguay a “rich beggar." "Veja" likens the nation to a man dressed as a beggar to ask for alms and pity, and claims that this also works in Latin American diplomacy. “Officially Paraguay’s per capita income is 2,300 USD, but the right figure is according to economist Enis Weber is 6,160 USD which puts the country four steps higher above Colombia and Peru in regional ranking." He claims that President Fernando Lugo (pictured) supports the distorted figures.
