The Paraguayan State needs a profound reform, and the first thing that should be done is with regard to the issue of organizing the three hundred and fifty thousand public employees that we have, many of them entering without sufficient capacity, not having competitive examinations to reach those places and with a series of privileges and advantages that the true taxpayer does not enjoy for the payment of their salaries, those that are not in the nomenclature of the public sector.
This philanthropic ogre devours more than US$ 4,000 million a year and, nevertheless, those who manage it still believe they have the due right to ask for increases, as is the case of the Treasury and the Central Bank.
The quality of the State that we have is far from the levels of payment and privileges that we give them.
We must also do a complete reengineering with respect to salaries. This has to be a career where merits, aptitudes and abilities are evaluated from time to time and people are promoted based on their suitability, otherwise we have a lot of people who enter simply through prebendary, patronage or for other types of favors -even sexual- and find promotions over other people who have been waiting for a long time for a place to serve the State from a different and different place, as is the case with the model who has been appointed to be Minister in the Paraguayan representation of the OAS in Washington in one of the last acts of the administration of Euclides Acevedo, who intends to be president of the Republic.
