Associations of retirees and contributors of Paraguay's Social Security Institute (IPS) have launched the "IPS without politicians" initiative, which proposes amending Law No. 98/92 so that board members are elected by popular vote rather than appointed by the Executive Branch. The group has already gathered more than 20,000 signatures out of the 51,371 needed to submit the bill to Congress.
