Carnival Queen reveals naked truth about pulp pollution to politicians
International — The Carnival Queen of Argentinia attended the EU - Latin American Countries Summit in Vienna to expose Greenpeace's concerns about the pollution of the Uruguay River.

In front of Presidents Vazquez of Uruguay and Kirchner of Argentina she put on a provocative costume to convey a provocative message: stop the two huge European-owned paper pulp mills which threaten to pollute the river area of her home.

The proposed plants are to be built in Fray Bentos, on the Uruguayan shore of the Uruguay river, and its toxic byproducts will flow into the Argentine city of Gualeguaychu.

The conflict has put a strain on relations between Argentina and Uruguay, and on 30 May 2006, 100,000 people protested on the bridge that unites Gualeguaychu and Fray Bentos. The unexpected appearance of Evangelina Carrozzo, the dancing Carnival Queen, brought the issue even more attention.
