Abstract
April 1987 will be remembered as important in the history of Paraguay, at least for the government announcement that, after more than thirty years in force, it was lifting the state of emergency or ‘estado de sitio’. This measure, which had always been religiously renewed every six months, gave special powers to the police and the army. Its ending made international headlines, but during that same month of April other less reported but significant events took place in Paraguay and they will be the focus of this chapter.
