He was a stabilizing influence to have in the area during the Cold War. And I believe his country saw some gradual economic development during his 35 years in power.

There was a huge economic bubble during the 1970s because of a rather large dam built with Brazil. It burst when the dam was completed in 1980.

You'll notice that Paraguayan history is poorly served by the interweb. About three years back I was trying to research the 1947 Civil War only to find that none of the major search engines had even heard of it.

The chainsawing was done by Pastor Coronel, who was a real treasure.

No, Fez got that from argentine military dictatorship, who put the dissidents into containers or drug them and then throw them into the ocean from helicopters or planes.
