PARAGUAY: Lugo seals congressional deal with Oviedo
President-elect Fernando Lugo's hopes of pushing through his
ambitious social agenda improved last week after his coalition Alianza
Patriótica para el Cambio (APC) succeeded in striking a deal with the party of
retired General Lino Oviedo, the Unión Nacional de Ciudadanos Eticos (Unace). He
faces rebellion in his own ranks, however: the parties that comprise the APC are
upset that the congressional alliance with Oviedo also extends to the faction of
the Partido Colorado loyal to President Nicanor Duarte.
