Itaipu and Xuxa

All I know is that during exile he used to wake up early just to watch the Xuxa show [1].

And about Itaipu: It's quite lame to give his government any credit for it. There was no way that Paraguay would end up with a bad agreement (tough from time to time they talk about revsing the terms). The fact that the country exports a large portion of their share of the energy produced is not a good thing. It's sad that they still can't use it all. But I believe this is about to change, not quite sure... -- NIC1138 04:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Is there any documentation for the Stößner spelling given at the start of the article? or is this just taken over from a typo some-where? Kdammers (talk) 00:41, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

"and then was re-elected to 8 consecutive terms "

Suuuuuuuure, he was re-elected... How? This article needs some more depth. There's a few things about his autocratic ways, but not about how he managed to get re-elected 8 times. There's nothing about what his laon-repayment policies did affected the Paraguays, or how Paraguayans themselves feel/felt about him. Any Paraguayans here who knows more about the guy? Red Star

As with any dictator tehre are two stances, those who still follow him and those who are against him. More recently, with the failures of teh recent elected presidents to fulfill their promises or to create a feeling of security, both financial and from crimes, many are remembering Stroessner more fondly. His image is still used heavily though as propaganda by political parties in order to sway votes and his name still has a ring of "boogie-man". All in all it depends who you ask, city folk and middle-uppish classes and above will be either against him or neutral, while farmers and lower classes are in favour of him.

a dictator was not a president. here Stroessner is presented in a revisionistic manner.
notably in these sentences:
"Alfredo Stroessner Matiaud served as President of Paraguay from 1954 to 1989."
"His regime is also blamed for torture"
"Stroessner was, however, known for several positive economic policies"

His title was that of president whether he was a dictator or not, and his regime did have quite a positive economic impact. Paraguay hasn't been as well off economically ever since his regime ended. Some attribute this to the Itapu deal though, yet still, economically Paraguay has only gone downhill since Rodriguez's coup. Veritiel (talk) 15:50, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Excommunicated?

According to the Spanish version of his page, Stroessner was excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church. I know relations between his government and the Church were extremely strained, but I've never seen any source mention his excommunication, if indeed it happened. Could someone verify this? 63.224.21.10 (talk) 07:25, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

section titled "Extramarital Affairs" should perhaps be changed

Its reasonably well-documented that he was part of a sex trafficking ring that kidnapped and raped children. References to some of his extramarital affairs as having been with girls as young as 13 is deeply inappropriate. That's not an affair, that's rape. Babelak (talk) 13:30, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
