		Nicanor Duarte Frutos, whose Colorado party has governed Paraguay uninterrupted since 1947, took office as Paraguay’s president on August 15.
		During his inaugural address, Duarte strongly criticized neoliberalism and promised development “with a human face.” He said, “Neoliberalism has been a failure because it denies and enslaves human dignity.” He also rejected service to “foreign interests,” when he said people are more important than the market.
		Despite Duarte’s criticism of the policies of those organizations, soon after his election, he sent a delegation to Washington to explain his “100-day plan,” which puts a priority on seven legislative initiatives, including several pushed by the IMF.
