President Santiago Peña announced the restoration of eight historical sites in Paraguay through the Tekorenda Urgent Heritage Safeguard program. The initiative aims to preserve memory, faith, and national cultural identity by recovering properties of high historical and heritage value.
Among the sites to be restored are the Yaguarón Temple, the Ñandejára Guasu Sanctuary in Piribebuy, the La Recova complex, the railway stations of San Salvador, Areguá, and Ybytymí, as well as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Asunción and the San Blas Cathedral in Ciudad del Este. Peña particularly highlighted the symbolic value of the interventions at the two cathedrals, emphasizing the recognition of the importance of faith for Paraguayans.
During the presentation of his management report, the president also stated that Paraguay has established itself as a host for major international events, citing the hosting of the Junior Pan American Games, the Paraguay Rally, and a UNESCO world summit. He concluded by asserting that development driven by investments, including those from the Itaipu Binational hydroelectric plant, aims to generate more opportunities and improve the population's quality of life.
