For a few days, the Uruguayan Square of Paraguay’s capital has been the site of a protest where indigenous communities from Canindeyu, San Pedro and Caaguazú departments, participated. As the website explained, the native communities camping in the square are demanding the Insitute of Rural and Land Development (INDERT) to grant property titles over state-owned lands disputed by "brasiguayos", the way Brazilian landowners in Paraguay are called. These producers are closely related with the model promoted by the soy monoculture, the peasant movements have exposed.

Alcides Silva told Jakueke, that the “brasiguayos” do not respect the indigenous plantations and fumigate over their homes, causing serious health problems.

Silva also said that they wouldn’t leave the square until the INDERT grants them property titles and said that they felt unprotected by the authorities since the large producers were not punished for their behaviour.

In a story published by Paraguayan newspaper Ultima Hora, an indigenous explained that they had fled their lands because “they were being poisoned by the Brazilians”.

However, and despite this new report, the only answer to the the repeated indigenous demands has been from the Mayor of Asuncion, Evanhy de Gallegos, who said that she is considering putting a fence around the square to discourage demonstrations.
