Harry Belafonte

First FRIDAY in March!!!

Today is the National Day of Heroes, a public holiday in Paraguay. The aim of the holiday is to pay tribute to the work of citizens who have helped make Paraguay what it is today.

In the words of President Horacio Cartes, “Our heroes build a better Paraguay; today we pay homage to all Paraguayans who, with sacrifice and courage, make this a great country.”

This national holiday falls on the anniversary of the death of Marshal Francisco Solano Lopez, President of Paraguay from 1862 – 1870, who was killed in combat during the Battle of Cerro Corá. This was the last conflict in the War of the Triple Alliance (1864 – 1870) that pitted Paraguay against the tri-national alliance of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
