Curuguaty

Chia producers in Paraguay blame smuggling from Brazil for a nearly 50% price drop, while DNIT denies the existence of the problem.

The Paraguayan Minister of Public Works, Claudia Centurión, warned that the country has only 15% sewage coverage, but listed progress on projects such as the construction of seven hospitals and the Bioceanic Corridor bridge.

A judge in Curuguaty, previously recused from the case, ordered a repossession that benefits a mayoral candidate and affects a chia plantation and an indigenous community established decades ago.

Former Senator Sixto Pereira, from the Tekojoja party, stated that Paraguay is currently experiencing "the government of the mafia and organized crime," recalling the 14th anniversary of the removal of then-President Fernando Lugo on June 22, 2012, through a political trial in Congress. He emphasized that this political situation has significant implications for foreign investors, diplomats, and regional observers due to the resulting political and economic instability affecting business and international cooperation.

The Indert issued property titles to families in Marina Cué, 14 years after the Curuguaty massacre, completing the titling of 100% of the 243 lots in the colony through peaceful agreements and mediation.

Agricultural producer Almir de Brum, 32, was released this Thursday, April 4, after more than three months in captivity by the armed group EPP in Canindeyú, without any ransom payment, and is now at his home under the protection of state security forces.

Nine cattle loads were held at checkpoints in San Pedro and the Chaco with inconsistencies in transit guides and brands. The investigation looks into possible smuggling, and the alleged owner is Bianca Judith Noria, reported to be the sister of Senator Alfonso Noria and sister-in-law of the governor of Canindeyú.
