There is a sudden reaction of the Border Control Bodies in the country against the goods that are smuggled into Brazil, and that in most cases are cigarettes from the Horacio Cartes company. This, which had an enormous boom during his presidency in extraordinary amounts, actually deprived Paraguay of greater negotiating capacity with Brazil.
Cartes had even told the Palacio de López to businessmen from the eastern neighbor that they could come to Paraguaya to use and abuse Paraguay like a pretty woman, what we have seen is that he was also in charge of using and abusing that condition and that situation with large cigarette consignments that were introduced to the Brazilian market and that tripled his profits as a businessman at the same time that he held the presidency of the Republic.
What is striking is that the person in charge of the Navy, the brother of Hugo Velásquez, will be the most interested in fighting this problem now, when he had turned a deaf ear, and had covered his eyes in the face of repeated circumstances of the same type of crime. .
What Paraguay needs is coherence, predictability and public policies that are always applied, regardless of the role that a person or their companies have in the exercise of circumstantial power.
