Paraguay's Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies (MITIC) issued a warning about the growth of digital fraud, such as phishing and identity theft, and released recommendations to prevent citizens from falling victim to cybercriminals.

President Santiago Peña is accused of denying ties to a digital communicator who received an official credential, while allegations of a smear campaign against government critics grow. The head of Mitic is pressured to resign for allegedly concealing data, and Conmebol president Alejandro Domínguez faces corruption accusations from the United States.
Authorities from the Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare (MSPBS) and the Social Security Institute (IPS) met to strengthen inter-institutional cooperation and expand access to health services, with successful examples in Itapúa and Ayolas. The meeting also addressed challenges such as the shortage of specialized professionals and the need to plan new hospitals under a complementary model.
Documents obtained show that the Presidency of the Republic of Paraguay issued an official credential to Juan Roberto “Jimmy” Villaverde, identified as responsible for the Sucia Política page and a network of pro-government websites, in July 2025. The revelation contradicts the version of President Santiago Peña and Mitic authorities, who denied any formal link with Villaverde.
Mirtha Arias, the new IPS councilor, plans to reduce contribution evasion in border cities using technology and partnerships with DNIT and Mitic, aiming to increase revenue and improve insured members' health.
