Paraguay's Ministry of Environment and Social Development (Mades) issued an opinion against a bill that would allow hydrocarbon prospecting and exploration in Médanos del Chaco National Park, a protected area of 605,000 hectares. The decision is based on principles of environmental non-regression and conservation, and has the support of environmental organizations.

Paraguay’s Chamber of Deputies has passed a law requiring the judicial deposit of original credit instruments, such as promissory notes and checks, during enforcement proceedings. The measure aims to increase transparency and security in debt collection processes, allowing the creditor to keep the document as a judicial depositary, subject to criminal liability for non-compliance. The bill now goes to the Executive Branch for enactment.
