The Paraguayan people took the streets on July 27, 2019 against a new agreement with Brazil which increases the price of energy in 40%.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By CSP-Conlutas Media Workgroup<\/p>\n

The agreement was imposed by Brazilian authorities last May but kept secret by Paraguayan president Mario Abdo Benitez.<\/p>\n

Under threat of impeachment, President Mario Abdo Benitez cancelled the agreement.<\/p>\n

The agreement is related to the energy generated by Itaipu Dam, the second largest in the world.<\/p>\n

Built on the border between Paraguay and Brazil, it benefits primarily the Brazilian economy.<\/p>\n

Each country has the right for 50% of the energy output for which they pay US$ 43 \/ MWh.<\/p>\n

Brazil takes 93% of all output: 50% on their right and 43% from Paraguay who takes only the remaining 7%.<\/p>\n

The 1973 agreement between the two countries establishes that none can sell the energy to other countries for 50 years.<\/p>\n

Brazil pays around only US$ 43 \/ MWh for the energy which is resold inside Brazil on US$ 125 \/ MWh for industries and US$ 206 \/ MWh for domestic consumption.<\/p>\n

The Paraguayan government gets only US$ 360 million per year as indemnity. On market prices it should be around US$ 2,900 million.<\/p>\n

On top of this neocolonial agreement, Brazil is also responsible for the destruction of the country 150 years ago in a war waged against Paraguay by the combined forces of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.<\/p>\n

CSP-Conlutas stands in solidarity to the Paraguayan working class in their struggle against energy price hikes and for full sovereignty.<\/p>\n

CSP-Conlutas also demands the Brazilian government the full disclosure of all archives related to the war against Paraguay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
