En este articulo se comenta el rechazo de la sociedad civil y parlamentarios españoles por la visita de Franco a Madrid.

Associations of Paraguayans living in Spain and other European countries repudiated the presence in Madrid of Paraguayan President Federico Franco, who was described as coup leader.
In an open letter to Spanish Executive President Mariano Rajoy, the platform called Paraguay Resists expressed outrage at the invitation to Franco, who was accused of leading a de facto government in the South American nation.

"It is of common knowledge that this government took power through a mechanism that openly violated the process and the right to defense of a president elected by popular vote," said the text, referring to deposed President Fernando Lugo.
According to this platform, the invitation to Franco by the Spanish right-wing Popular Party demonstrates a marked contradiction, since they excluded the Paraguayan regime of the Ibero-American Summit held in Cadiz in November.
Because of its anti-democratic nature, Paraguay was also excluded from the participation in the summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, held in Santiago de Chile last January, recalled the text.

This makes contrasts with the positions and sanctions imposed by regional blocks to Asuncion, such as the South Common Market (MERCOSUR) and the Union of South American Nations, emphasized Resists Paraguay.
By accepting an illegitimate government violates the rights of the Paraguayan people, it said.
The platform emphasized the invitation untimely, because the Paraguayan State is involved in the violation of human rights of the accused farmers without legal support in the slaughter of Curuguaty.
"It is unacceptable that Mr. Federico Franco acts as President of Paraguay criminalizing peasants fighting for land, calling them murderers without even justice has given a final verdict on the case of the slaughter of Curuguaty," the letter said.

UN Criticism of Human Rights Violation Hits Paraguay

The requirement of the UN Human Rights Committee to the Paraguayan government to stop killings, torture and other abuses, especially against farmers and indigenous was an oustanding news in the South American nation.
A document containing a string of accusations and complaints about human rights violations in Paraguay against peasants and indigenous from native ethnic was the response to the allegation submitted to that body by the Executive of Federico Franco.

The official approach, that was intended to extoll the full effect of these prerogatives in the Paraguayan territory, had been already rated vacuum by the national organizations, which reported a decree of Franco aimed at eliminating its main signs.
The committee was clear in denouncing even the existence of a so-called neighborhood public safety commissions, participating in illegal detention, death threats, raids on homes, murder, torture and abuse in three rural departments.
The Human Rights Committee of the UN reissued its earlier demand for an impartial investigation of extrajudicial killings of peasant leaders Vidal Vega and Benjamin Lozano, murdered in their own home and to their families in the departments in front of their families in Curuguaty and Concepcion departments.
The agency expressed concern about the high rates of aggression, violence and murder against human rights defenders, particularly in the case of farmers and indigenous advocates, noted the resolution.
Another harsh criticism, very current, was based on the fact that the government lacks the necessary resources for the identification works of recent finding of remains of people missing and murdered during Alfredo Stroessner dictatorship (1954-1989).
The Committee's Resolution was a blow to the government repeated allegations about its respect for human rights of all Paraguayans, continually put forward during the current electoral process that the nation lives.
