[applause] Mr. President of the Republic, gentlemen, Mr. Minister Alderete, on your behalf a greeting to all the ministers of the executive branch, to all the presidents of entities, Mr. César Sosa, president of the Council of Governors, on your behalf a greeting to all the governors who are present today and who were part of what we are going to experience today, which is a dream. Senators, thank you very much for your presence. Members of Parliament, thank you very much. We all know each other too. We worked on this great dream which today is a testament to everything that has been done. Ah, representatives of international organizations, thank you very much for being present today on the United Nations program. Thank you so much. To all the other people, the gentlemen, this, Mr. President of the Rural Association of Paraguay, thank you for your presence, thank you for being present to all the members of the board of the National Institute of Rural Development and Housing, to all the mayors, to all the councilors, to all the farmers, to the esteemed members of the press. Thank you so much for participating in this truly wonderful celebration. And I was thinking, what to say, Mr. President. I think there's one word that sums it all up. There are 1000 people who are here today to collect their diplomas and 600 people who came to sign their diplomas. Those 600 titles will be added to others that are already on the way, and we believe that in 45 more days we will have a package very similar to this. [applause] And I was saying that there is one word that sums all this up, Mr. President, which is happiness. And I was thinking what I could say about happiness. They consider one of the most important documents in the history of humanity to be the United States Declaration of Independence, and at the time when that important document had to be written, Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers, said, "I am going to use reflection or philosophy on natural law." And he said that man was created by God and that in that sense he was endowed with natural rights that are inalienable. And contractualists, two concepts coincided. He said that among those inalienable natural rights of man are life and liberty. And there was a third element that did not convince Thomas Jefferson to apply directly to the case, which had to do with what John Locke said about three rights that are natural to man: freedom, liberty, and property. John Locke said, and Jefferson said, "But property is a means, it is a means to an end." And what is the purpose of being human? What is it that makes man transcend? And it is happiness during the time he is alive, during the time he lives, he seeks happiness. It is transcendence. We seek transcendence through happiness because we are happy when we are where we want to be and when we have what we want. and replaces Thomas Jefferson says, "These are the inalienable natural rights of man, endowed by the Creator, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Because he said, "Property cannot be an end in itself, it is a means. It is a means to achieve happiness." That is why it is understood that one of the most powerful countries in the world, one of the most powerful nations in the world, is responsible for protecting that sacred right which is property. Because ownership is a person's effort to achieve a transcendent purpose, which is the pursuit of happiness. That's why our motto is: we bring happiness to the countryside. It has to do with the declaration of natural rights. And I believe and I am sure, I am sure that the 1000 people who are going to receive their property titles today and the 600 who are going to sign their property titles, I am sure that they all have something in common. They are happy. Nobody can say, "I have my degree and I'm not happy." Today we are going to say goodbye to 16 compatriots with complete happiness, with the happiness that will allow them to transcend, because the title will transcend, it will transcend our human presence, it remains with our children, our grandchildren and allows us at the same time to achieve accomplishments such as happiness. And when we arrived at the institute, you know well this path we have traveled, Mr. President, I never knew a bureaucracy that hindered happiness so much, because even the declaration of independence of the Americans states that government is constituted among men and that governments must have as their purpose to protect these three inalienable natural rights. And it's incredible how obstacles were put in place to prevent people from achieving happiness. One of them you know very well because we discussed it for about 50 days in the first 50 days of your government, the problem of titling in favor of women, where the constitutional principle that said that priority must be given to women in the titling process was violated. He administratively invented an obstacle to increase the price of the lot by 30%. More for women than for men with a cumulative interest rate of 12%, a geometric rate that takes you to 70% interest for women. What is that rate today? 0%, Mr. President. 0%. [applause] And one of the architects of the elimination of that obstacle is precisely César Fernández with all the women who are back there, right? So, thank you very much, César, for lighting the way for us, because it was basically he who proposed it to us, right? So [snort] today the interest rate is 0% and we are going from 30% of 30% previously before the administration of 2023 30% of the bonds were allocated to women. Today, 60% of property titles are allocated to women. We encountered another problem: forming committees. We found commissions that had been in the process of taking office for 7 years. In other words, today the president of the commission was elected and after 7 years the resolution was given to him. In some cases, some presidents who are running for office have already died. The president of the Republic is elected in April . The polling station closes at 5 pm. At midnight, the presidents already know they have been elected. They had been electing a commission president here for 7 years. We implemented the massive land tenure system that provides legal security. It is a rule of the Court, it allows for legal certainty. The overlap in the Linder story has ended. We strengthened the commissions, thereby eliminating the intermediaries. We no longer receive agents. Today we work with the development commissions transparently, accompanied throughout the titling process, and they are the ones who decide because our Constitution says that we are a model of a participatory social state of law, and that means that we go from the bottom up. Development decisions are made in the communities and communicated to their authorities, who then implement them. That is the participatory model that we Paraguayans chose. And we removed these obstacles because neither of us were specialists in agriculture, in agricultural issues, nor were you or I specialists in economic development. You are learning about economic development in Africa. From my office at the Ministry of Economy, as always, Mr. President, I was looking out at the bay. So we had to learn as we went along over these 3 years, but we proved that it could be done . Everyone said it couldn't be done, and we proved it could. Titles could be awarded. Today we are going to deliver titles, 1000 property titles when on average historically 900 are delivered. Today we are going to deliver in a single day 1145 more. [applause] We could have another 1000 titles and many cases that we are working on and we are finding one last obstacle to make people happy. The State must promote happiness, not hinder it. One last obstacle that is in the hands of the National Congress at this moment, which could make history. The peasant was asked to pay in advance to receive his property title, 4 to 5 million anías, and he did not receive it. And the farmer cannot have it because he lacks financial inclusion; he could not take out a loan to pay the fee prior to receiving the title. And we said, why not give the farmer a chance? The property title is given to him and after 12 months he is required to pay that amount, already when he has had financial inclusion, already when he has been able to capitalize his farm, already when he has been able to be a supplier of the zero hunger law. Studies show that once land is titled, productivity increases between 40 to 80% and the producer's income increases between 30 to 40%. So, let's give them the title deed, let's give them that social inclusion, financial inclusion. Let him capitalize his farm, let him be a hungry supplier and let him have an improvement in his income and with that he pays and with that the poverty trap to which the most vulnerable sector at the national level, which is the peasant sector, was subjected is eliminated. Today that bill is in parliament, it has to be studied tomorrow with a request in a public hearing from the farmers themselves with a motion of preference. That project will be studied tomorrow. Thank you, César. Thank you. [applause] Yes, we are very confident because the state has to be a promoter of happiness, but it never hinders happiness. As Jefferson said. We need to help people find happiness. And if the State is constituted among men as a political organization, it must be to promote those three fundamental rights of man: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. So I believe that with that obstacle , Mr. President, we have approximately 8,000 property titles in the bank this year, that we made every effort, we used all the budget we had, we want more budget, right? [laughs] The governor always asks me for more budget to support Brazil, [laughs] but we have 8000 titles to deliver, but we can't deliver them because there's that 3% block. But I believe that we will soon eliminate that obstacle. After removing this last obstacle, Mr. President, we must implement a new rural development agenda with a comprehensive vision that is the new rurality. We have problems in the countryside; the population has aged. Today we are concerned because the vast majority of farmers are over 60 years old, and we are launching the generational replacement policy , one of the most revolutionary policies. I believe there is nothing similar in Latin America, 0% interest for young people now also to be able to promote generational change. And this will be during this administration, Mr. President. We will no longer have obstacles to land titling and a new era will begin, the new rurality, a new era, a new era with an integrated rural development approach , a new rural development agenda based on three fundamental pillars that have to do with productivity, which will in turn be based on land titling, primarily with an inclusive approach. the development of zero-waste markets, public bans, and international markets for our small producers. We are working with production sectors, with the union of production guilds to integrate the peasantry into international markets and ultimately the integral rural development . These are the three pillars of the new rurality. [snort] Mr. President, I want to thank you for the opportunity to work on such a sensitive, socially sensitive issue. I also want to thank all the members of the National Congress for working closely together for three years, and of course, my dear colleagues, the Linder officials; without them, this would not have been possible. In other words, we provide the thought, they provide the action, Mr. President. And I want to give thanks primarily to all the peasant brothers for having endured these 3 years and we believe that it is the beginning of a new era, it is the beginning of a new rurality. Thank you so much. Thus, the words of the president of the Institute for Rural and Land Development (Inder), Mr. Francisco Carlos Ruiz Díaz López. We can have a seat, please. Thank you so much.

Happy birthday, Moñanded, Mrs. Cintia González, Barbero succession colony , San Pedro department. Delivery of property titles: 1 total today. Coastal facade of the government palace. President of the Republic Santiago Peña Palacios. Good morning, friends. How are you this morning? Good. a little. Let's go back. Good morning, dear friends. How are you this morning? [ovation] Ah, now I want to welcome all the compatriots who are visiting us today from different corners of our beloved homeland, the Republic of Paraguay. I want to welcome you to this historic building, the López Palace, a symbol of the Republic of Paraguay, a symbol of what the fathers of the nation, who built our nation, who defended our greatest hero, Marshal Francisco Solano López, who gave his life for this nation. This palace symbolizes what Paraguayans yearn for. Those who are visiting the palace for the first time , I would like to invite you, after this emotional encounter with your degree in hand, to enter the López Palace. I ask [applause] our compatriots who come here today, not only to look at the López Palace, but to enter the López Palace, because this is the house of all Paraguayans. This is your house, [applause] to our dear fellow governors. I want to thank you because this work that the Paraguayan people entrusted to us, the work that the Paraguayan people entrusted to me at the national level and to you at the departmental level, is only possible to do by working all together, uniting in a cause that is the cause of the most needy Paraguayans, the humblest Paraguayans, those Paraguayans to whom nothing of the homeland belongs and who today hope that with this title in hand their lives can have a new beginning. I want to thank you because these 3 years of working together, I'm starting to see some of the benefits today. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, and the Constitution and the laws prevent us from becoming national authorities again in my case, and you from becoming departmental authorities. But today we have a great opportunity to make the next 24 months of our term two years of hard work for the benefit of more compatriots who expect us to be a tool to achieve the happiness we so deeply desire. [Applause] To my fellow senators, deputies, and representatives of the nation, my gratitude for your support, because no president can carry it out alone, no matter how willing or strong he may be. We must not be afraid to say that no one can do it alone. Humility is knowing that we kneel before God and ask Him to enlighten us with wisdom and give us the strength to fight every day, but also the humility to ask for help so that we can go further and reach more compatriots. Thank you. The giant Paraguay is a Paraguay that awakens those who have fought for that Paraguay, just as Marshal Francisco Solano López gave his life because he knew what Paraguay was worth, what Paraguayans are worth. Throughout history, other men and women have defended our homeland, have rebuilt our homeland. General Bernardino Caballero, that man who fought alongside Marshal Francisco Solano López and who remained to rebuild Paraguay from the ashes of a country that had been destroyed, defeated. He knew that as long as there was a Paraguayan, Paraguay would continue to live and continue to grow and develop. It was our women, rural women, to whom we owe our Paraguayan identity today. At a time when men went to fight and gave their lives, it was the women who remained to rebuild our nation. I didn't become President of the Republic to be just another president. I came to appeal to the heroes of our history, but I also came to appeal to forging my own path in this government administration, recognizing the political responsibility, because the position I hold is a political position in a political party that has a history, that has a record of having defended popular causes, that has a history of having defended the countryside, because the progress of Paraguay lies in the countryside, and when the countryside does well, Paraguay does well. [applause] I come to reaffirm a party policy that is committed to Paraguayans, that is committed to Paraguayans on a path that knows difficulties, that knows adversity, but that will find in me a president with an unwavering will to give to Paraguayans, to the rural worker, to the woman. country woman and the young man had opportunities he didn't have before. I want us to celebrate this moment we are living, these 1000 titles, these 600 deeds that are being signed this morning, but I am far from feeling satisfied, because beyond the fact that today we have surpassed all the numbers of previous governments, we could already say that we have done more than any other government, but my fight is not a fight for statistics and numbers. My struggle is the struggle of the Paraguayan people. That is my fight. [applause] And as long as there is a Paraguayan who wants to work, as long as there is a woman and a young person who wants their degree, who wants their land, who wants to receive credit, who wants to receive technical assistance, who wants to sell their products, they will find a partner, a friend, the President of the Republic who will continue working so that every Paraguayan, so that every man of this homeland can feel proud that a part of this homeland also belongs to him. that the work of the State in defending private property, defending those who have achieved something through their effort and sacrifice, should not mean fighting in the streets and clashes between compatriots so that those who do not have land can also [applause] If there is something I am proud of as a Paraguayan, as a young man who loves this country, it is that we were able to show those who want to discourage us, those who say it can't be done, those who say it's impossible, those who told me, "Don't get involved, Mr. President, because you won't be able to solve anything." When I went to San Pedro, a few days after taking office here on this plain in August 2023, on September 1st to the Andrés Barbero neighborhood, I told them that in a year I was going to come and deliver the titles, and many told me that it had been promised for 70 years and it was never fulfilled. to show those who believed that the problem that pitted compatriots against each other in Curubatú many years ago, that brought grief to the Paraguayan family and that pitted peasants fighting for the land against our security force. that this was a chapter that could never be closed, that this wound and these crosses that are in the field today would only mean tears of pain and suffering. But last year we went to hug each other and shed tears of joy because we saw a people. [applause] Because Don Chilaver's struggle was not in vain. that his widow and children can now rest assured that the land for which Don Chilaver fought so hard now belongs to them and to that community, or in the Santa Teresita colony, in the department of Casapá, where President Linder could not even enter because the people no longer believed in the authorities, and we asked those who fought in Marina to help process these differences that exist, and today we can celebrate that this conflict has been resolved. [applause] I became President of the Republic to show Paraguayans that nothing is impossible, that the great Paraguay is within us, and that our only adversary is ourselves. Because when Paraguayans unite, there is nothing we cannot achieve. We can achieve everything, my dear Francisco, on your behalf to the entire Linder family, an institution that for decades was the impediment to achieving happiness for many Paraguayans, the most needy Paraguayans, the bureaucracy. Dishonesty and a lack of patriotism prevented the Paraguayan people from having access to land. Today we can say that the countryside is experiencing a new renaissance. There is hope not only in access to land, but also in access to markets to sell what the land produces. The Zero Hunger in Schools program is today the largest social policy in the history of Paraguay. Feed our children, give our mothers jobs, give our producers a market. That is what the founding fathers dreamed of. A Paraguay where all Paraguayans feel proud to be part of this nation. The road ahead of us, Francis, is still a long one. We have 24 months left in my term as President of the Republic and you as President of Inter. And we have to fight [applause] so that this path, far from stopping, advances even more strongly. Just as today we long for the " Starving Schools" program to never disappear again, so that never again in Paraguay will a mother and father have to send their child to school not only knowing if that child will learn, but also knowing that that child will not be fed. Today I want to fight for a Paraguay that continues to invest in Paraguayans and access to land. And I want to ask you, Francis, that far from feeling tired in these 3 years, you fill yourself with energy from this people who look with hope to the horizon, who look with hope. Because just as today there are 16 compatriots who are happy, there are still thousands in the countryside waiting for their opportunity. [applause] My work will not end until all Paraguayans have their own land. My work will not end until all Paraguayans can say, I am better off than I was before President Santiago Peña came to power. I want to tell you that far from getting tired, I am stronger than ever to continue fighting for each and every Paraguayan, knowing that when the countryside is doing well, Paraguay and all Paraguayans are doing well. Long live the Paraguayan countryside, long live Paraguay, long live the Paraguayans. These were the words of His Excellency [laughs] the President of the Republic of Paraguay, Santiago Peña Palacios. Government Palace, the president of the new rurality of Paraguay. Paraguayans, please take a seat.

More families with their land, more justice and property. Santiago Peña, [music] president of the new rurality, president of the peasants, sowing prosperity. Santiago Peña, [music] president, with her gaze towards the countryside, brings titles and dreams to the families of [music] Paraguay. This is work that is being done to truly develop this new concept of rurality in Paraguay, something that the fathers of our nation, our founding fathers, already longed for. They perfectly understood that Paraguay is a country rich in land and water, and obviously we have to do our part to give Paraguayans the tools to truly work with this great wealth. We are tremendously proud that today is the government that has awarded the most degrees in the history of Paraguay, but we are not satisfied; we believe we can do much more. We have a bill in Congress today that will give us more tools to move forward, continue eliminating obstacles, reducing costs, and this will truly mean more progress in the field. If the countryside is doing well, Paraguay is doing well. 1000 in one day, this used to take a year, now it takes a day. What used to take a year, we did in a day today. We have another 1000 more, not just a few more weeks and lots of conversation and exchange. It is a struggle that has lasted 14 years. 14 years old. And today it is a great satisfaction for me to say that not only is my government the one that has invested the most in infrastructure in the history of Paraguay, 500 million dollars for the construction of hospitals that had never been built before in Paraguay, the largest budget in history for supplies and medicines, and today we can say that it is the largest increase in 14 years for medical personnel, which of course is part of a process, we still have a long way to go, but it has been a historic day to be able to reach that agreement. And of course, I want to thank all parties for their participation, the time of the change of Minister Bará and the Ministry of Health, as you know, is a ministry that requires very important attention. Minister Barán is a great colleague, a friend of mine, a truly wonderful woman. And well, I think it was also the right time and she took the step so that Dr. Isaías Fretes could come in with a new approach, with more energy, and of course carry out all the projects we have ahead of us. So I think this is part of the exercise that falls to me as President of the Republic. There have already been other very sensitive changes in other ministries. It happened at the beginning of the year in the Ministry of Economy and well, it's part of the exercise of power that we have to carry out. Mr. President, they are also coming, Mr. President, and other sectors are not putting at risk the, the, the, and well, the challenge is that we have limited resources for needs that are limited, right? So we always try to find the reasonable thing. This is a task that also requires support from the legislative branch. They have been discussing it in the bicameral budget committee since yesterday, so let's hope that rationality prevails. Obviously we recognize all the demands, but we have to understand that resources are limited. What was the specific reason for Minister Bararán's investments? And look, it's something I've been considering for a while now, right? And well, I think it was the right time, just like the changes at the Social Security Institute a few months ago. Well, it's part of the evaluation that, as I was saying, a few months ago they are no longer annual or semi-annual evaluations, they are evaluations that we do regularly, right? the minister's evaluation. No, no, that's not it. Everyone has my trust until I make the decision to make a change. Why was that not achieved with Barán in the negotiation, but it was achieved quickly with Frente , for example? And look, Mati, these are negotiations where the negotiating table is often tense , right? I can assure you that we would not have reached this stage without the work done by Dr. Barán, and of course we could not have closed without the collaboration and the influence that Dr. Frente also brought. So far from trying to find any negative aspect, I believe that yesterday was a victory for Paraguay, I believe that a historic vindication; we have truly found common ground where all parties were able to reach a consensus. President, with these orders, you are making the economy grow. Mr. President, investment in education is also at a record high, and we want to take you there to say hello. Well, there they are going to greet the group from a locality here they approach a community settlement touched to their post. [music] [music] Here we see [music] please. Well, here is the support of the towns of Caguazú, Governor Marcelo Soto. This is how the President of the Republic withdraws. The agenda continues, as you know, with an activity that links the World Bank, the presence of the governors, and more families. The President of the Republic thus retires. The displays of affection continue today . The President of the Republic withdraws to continue with the agenda.
