The Paraguayan Center for Analysis and Diffusion of the Economy (Cadep) is inviting the public to its second day of a congress titled “35 Years of Democracy: Economy, Society, and State in Paraguay.” This event aims to foster reflection and debate among academics, researchers, and specialists on the nation's key economic, social, and institutional challenges.

The congress, taking place on Tuesday, June 9, from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Paraguayan Scientific Society in Asunción, seeks to analyze the progress, critical points, and hurdles Paraguay has faced over three and a half decades of democratic governance. Belén Servín, a researcher at Cadep, explained that the event will feature prominent national and international panelists and commentators.

The event has the purpose of offering a space for reflection and dialogue on the main advances, critical knots, and challenges of Paraguay in these three and a half decades of democratic life, especially addressing the economic, social, and institutional dimensions.

This gathering also serves as a commemoration of Cadep's 35 years of institutional work. Servín stated that the best way to celebrate this anniversary is by promoting an analytical and discussion space consistent with the center's guiding values. The event will include a panel on “The State of the Economy and Economic Development in Paraguay,” with presentations by Michael Pisani, María Belén Servín, and Wildo González, and commentary from Melissa Birch.

Additionally, a panel on “Democracy and Political Institutionalism in Paraguay” will feature Gustavo Setrini, José Tomás Sánchez, and Rocío Duarte, with comments from Diego Abente. Cadep, supported by the Paraguayan government, the National Council of Science and Technology (Conacyt), and the Prociencia program, is organizing the event. Registration is open via email at cadep@cadep.org.py or by phone, and also through Cadep's social media channels on YouTube and Facebook.

The best way to celebrate this institutional anniversary is by promoting an analysis and discussion space consistent with the values that have guided the research center throughout its trajectory.
