Lawyer Questions Legitimacy of Alliana Clan's University Degrees

In Paraguay, the integrity of academic institutions and the credentials of public officials are paramount. The recent questioning by lawyer Jorge Rolón Luna regarding the degrees of Vice President Pedro Alliana and his associates from the Universidad Autónoma San Sebastián strikes at the heart of public trust.

Rolón Luna's allegations, shared on social media and amplified by outlets like ABC Color, point to a disturbing pattern: multiple high-profile individuals, including the Vice President, his wife (a deputy), his daughter, and the director of Yacyretá, all obtaining degrees in International Relations from the same university, and in some cases, the same program. The claim that this specific program no longer exists at the institution is particularly damning, suggesting a potential 'degree mill' operation.

The clan Alliana and their suspicious titles, what if there is a mafia of fake titles?

From a Paraguayan perspective, this is not just about academic credentials; it's about accountability and the potential for corruption within the highest echelons of power. The university's alleged affiliation with the ruling political party, through cooperation agreements and scholarships, further fuels suspicions of favoritism and undue influence. The daughter's position in the Chamber of Deputies with a substantial salary, despite these allegations, only intensifies public scrutiny.

This story resonates deeply in Paraguay, where the public is often keenly aware of the connections between political power, personal enrichment, and the institutions that should uphold standards. While international media might focus on the political implications of a Vice President's degrees, here in Paraguay, it's about the fundamental fairness and legitimacy of the system itself. The very notion of a 'mafia of fake titles,' as Rolón Luna provocatively suggests, is a serious accusation that demands thorough investigation.

So Alliana supposedly graduated from that Cartista university with a degree in 'international relations.' Also his daughter... And Alliana's wife... A family of international relations experts.
