El presidente electo de Paraguay es un senador conservador y hijo del un concejal del dictador Stroessner, quien gobernó brutalmente de 1954 a 1989. ¿Puede este político profesional trae nuevas ideas?

Paraguay’s conservative president-elect Mario Abdo narrowly won the April 22 election. His father was the private secretary for dictator Alfredo Stroessner, who brutally ruled Paraguay for 35 years.
One protester was killed and several senators bloodied as Paraguayans rebelled against what they consider an unconstitutional attempt to extend President Horacio Cartes’ term.
Paraguay remains divided over whether to allow former presidents to run for reelection, and time is running out to decide who can – and cannot – declare their candidacy for the 2018 election.
