UNASUR Bloc Lashes Out at EU Over Honduras http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=51315
Correa said the presidents were upset that Spain had invited the Honduran government to participate in the European Union-Latin America/Caribbean summit on May 18 in Madrid. Most of the members of UNASUR -- which is made up of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela --
have not recognised Honduran President Porfirio Lobo, who was elected in November in elections organised by the government that took power after the Jun. 28, 2009 coup that overthrew Manuel Zelaya. The Ecuadorean leader warned that anger over the issue would keep many countries from attending the summit in Spain.
