After President Lugo was deposed, Dr. Federico Franco was sworn in as the new President of Paraguay.
So far the Presidents of Argentina, Ecuador,Venezuela, Costa Rica and Bolivia have said that they see this as a coup d'etat and they will not recognize the new government of Paraguay. The President of Brazil, Dilma Rouseff has said that Paraguay should be expelled from the Mercosur for not respecting democratic laws. If this happens Paraguay will be isolated.
Already President Franco has changed the chief of police. A new Minister of the interior has also been appointed. Franco's first priority is to bring stability to areas where there are difficulties over land rights.
