Paraguay: For the Restoration of Democracy and Popular Sovereignty

by the Front for Defense of Democracy

The Guasú Front, which was the driving force behind the 2008 electoral triumph of President Fernando Lugo, and a broad spectrum of other social and political movements agreed to form the Front for Defense of Democracy (FDD), which “rejects and condemns the putschist government of Federico Franco” and calls upon people “to defend the democratic process and institutional framework of the Republic by permanent mobilization.” With that purpose, the FDD told us, a plan of struggle will be worked out, under Guasu Front Secretary General Ricardo Canese as FDD’s spokesperson. See below the FDD’s first communiqué, reproduced here for its significance. — Agencia Latinoamericana de Información
