As a citizen of Brazil, I’d like to apologize to my fellow Paraguayan friends.
It has come to light recently that the Brazilian government has actively engaged in cyber espionage against the Government of Paraguay to gain access to privileged information and use it in electricity price negotiations.
That’s not how a friend/allied country should be treated, regardless of how the geopolitics game is played.
In the light of these events, I pose the question to folks of other LatAm countries, has that happened recently? Say, in the last 20-30 years or so?

Venezuela’s polítical police kidnaps people out of the country and also sabotages our economies by exporting more and more people
Apologize for what? All countries do that. This is the job of inteligence agencies. The only difference is that the brazilian one got leaked. Brazil build a cheap source of electricity alone and give half to Paraguay for free, they should be thankful. Brazil is too good for them.
yeah since milei became president a lot of dumb ass south american politicians and even mexico have been trying to engage in name calling and shit. Milei is also involved in name calling and talking shit in a disrespectful manner.sometimes they needed to be said, sometimes they didn’t.
I don’t personally care if Milei calls someone like Petro a stinky communist loser (which he is) or the same to Lula (which he is, and a criminal along with el Bolso)
but I also don’t think the president should be engaged in such child’s play. It is below them, they should be exemplary.
it’s the same with trump saying stupid shit, it’s embarrassing.
even when what they say is true.
and it has caused closure of embassies and strained relations. Which is serious, all because señor peluca couldn’t hold himself and move in silence.
Nicaragua still claims the San Andrés Island as theirs. It isn’t recent, they’ve been claiming ownership of the Island over Colombia for decades, but Daniel Ortega has added timber to the fire during the last years.
I mean, Ecuador did invade Mexico’s embassy just a little while ago. Ecuador’s president claimed Mexico was trying to hide a criminal from justice, Mexico claims that the Ecuadorian government was trying to punish someone of a different political party than the current president without any evidence and therefore granted him political asylum.
This Saturday is the 1 year anniversary! Yay!
Edit: All I am going to say, as a response to all further comments, is that, oh boy, does this still get opinions from people all over Latin America. The fact that Mexico still doesn’t have an embassy in Ecuador makes this difficult, as Mexico was a destination for quite a few Ecuadorians to extend their university studies. Since Ecuadorians require a visa to even visit Mexico, much less study there, all Ecuadorians have to travel to a different country to then even be able to get a visa to visit Mexico. Great job all around.
Stop being low-T
Lula tried to interfere in the last Argentinian elections. His govt provided a team to coach candidate Sergio Massa before the debate. Needless to say, Lula failed miserably and didn’t get his man elected.
Last year Chile forced Argentina to move a solar panel 💪
I wish.
Québec is Latin American… but it’s not “part of” Latin America. We’re completely isolated over here. We don’t have a whole lot of contact.
No, our only contact is with our one neighbor and he’s a jerk.
On a positive note, Chile sent its navy to support the insurrectionists in Mexico during the independence war
They arrived after the fighting ended, but ended up helping to spread the word of the new regime taking over
I second that apology. It’s disgusting and unjustifiable.
Brazilian president directly supported ( and financed to some extent ) the campaign of the peronist candidate ( and de facto president ) during the last presidential election
downvote me all you want, it’s true https://gaceta.es/iberosfera/lula-busca-interferir-en-las-elecciones-argentinas-con-un-prestamo-de-1-000-millones-de-dolares-al-gobierno-de-fernandez-20231005-0015/?utm_source=chatgpt.com
Maduro’s Venezuela is basically a puppet state of Cuba, so there’s that.
Didn’t we, Mexico, sent a fucking military air force plane to pick up Evo Morales when he was going to face the music by the hand of the Bolivian people?
Also, the Ecuatorian expresident hide in the Mexican embassy, accused of corruption and sexual harassment, used his parole to go and seek asylum on the Mexican embassy, and then he was forcefully taken out of it.
We might have opinions on the policies of Ecuador and Bolivia, chairos at that time were geopolitical experts justifying meddling with the legal system of foreign countries back then, but at the end: it’s a clear-cut case of interventionism on the recent years.
This is going to be downvoted, my fellow Mexicans don’t like to be reminded that they’re not self-aware.
Cuba and Venezuela constantly interfere with Bolivia.
They are pretty much the new US in term of intervention in the last 20 years.
Ecuador invaded my country embassy because my country gave asylum to one of their politicians who had an arrest order
This led to this situation with my ecuatorian best friend and almost brother:

We’ve had the Cuban government parasites in Venezuela this whole century.
All countries that are capable spy each other
Venezuela and Cuba, via the Guerrillas and those third-worldist politicians.
And perhaps Mexico, it has played Castro’s Cuba on steroids regarding foreign policy on Latin America since the Spanish Civil War, but has been much more subtle.
