It was good to hear Paraguayans thoughts about the election. After living through 8 years of Chavez however, I also remember the joy, dancing in the streets, the victory of defeating the old parties and the hope of change. I also remember after a few years I saw the disappointment, disenchantment, and changes that the majority of the followers of Chavez never expected. I hope and pray that Lugo will not be the same. I also agree, that should he plan to do that, he will have the natural checks and balances of a true democracy. He will have to work together with others instead of like Chavez and his demagoguery.

From my perspective and after talking to a lot of people here in Paraguay, I find the attitudes to be very hopeful. Hopeful that Lugo can bring changes that were unable to take place for the past 60 years. Hopeful that Paraguay can find its place in the world. Lugo dominates the news and people just can't seem to get enough of him. The future will be very interesting indeed. Great article!
