How demeaning that in an 'upper middle income country' the Paraguayan government still accepts donation for its basic health system a if it were a poor sub-Saharan African country. So much for 'national pride and sovereignty' when the crooks running the country are prepared to beg from Taiwan in exchange for freebies for themselves - nothing to do with any ideological commitment to free speech and democracy, of which Paraguay is hardly a shining example. Meanwhile the very rich get richer will the lowest tax burden in the Americas at 9.7% of GDP - and the health needs of the poor depend on grants from abroad.
