The Economist [Londres], Después de 61 años, Paraguay podría finalmente ver un cambio de Gobierno. After 61 years, Paraguay may finally see a change of government. IF THE poll numbers hold, the world's longest-ruling political party will be dismissed by Paraguay's voters on Sunday April 20th. The Colorado Party, which came to power two years before China's Communist Party, has governed for so long that Paraguay sometimes feels like a run-down country club that exists purely for the benefit of party members. Yet despite fielding a good candidate, the Colorados could well lose to a complete political novice.
