After 61 years of having the Colorado Party in charge of the country yesterday Paraguay has finally made a decision to vote for an ex bishop for a change of so many year of fear and corruption.

I’m very happy about the turn out of the elections, I hope it is the best at least for a change, people in Paraguay are celebrating with big flags in front of the Panteon de los Heroes in downtown Asuncion.

Lugo won Blanca Ovelar (the colorado Party candidate) for about 170 thousand votes. Paraguayan folk was tired of the current situation and they spoke together and elected a fresh person that I hope is going to make positive changes and improve Paraguay’s reputation around the globe.

Yesterday, April 20th 2008 was a day to remember in Paraguay’s history, first time seen that an ex bishop reaches a presidency of a country and finally the fall down of the Colorado Party, that fact made history!

Many international viewers went to Paraguay for the elections and all went smooth and transparent, with no cheating…and best of all with no incidents and problems…like a civilized country, like it should be.

It was a day to remember for many reasons, now there is just one thing left to say: Well done Paraguay! Fuerza Lugo!
