Paraguay’s president Santiago Peña didn’t come to the United States to apologize for conservatism — he came to celebrate it. In a recent television interview with conservative outlets, Peña made plain what many Americans already know: free markets, low taxes, and national sovereignty are the recipe for prosperity and security, not the failed experiments the Left keeps peddling.
Peña is a technocrat with real-world experience who campaigned on job creation and fiscal responsibility, the kind of leader who trusts entrepreneurs over bureaucrats. His background in finance and his pledge to attract investment show a seriousness about lifting ordinary Paraguayans, not coddling special interests or expanding the state.
On the world stage he’s been unapologetically pro-American in spirit, defending ties with democratic partners like Taiwan and restoring Paraguay’s embassy to Jerusalem — bold moves that put principle above pandering to Beijing or the global leftist consensus. That kind of foreign-policy backbone is rare in a hemisphere where many governments bow to the interests of distant capitals or extremist ideologues.
Not everything is perfect in Asunción — Peña faces political pressure at home, and critics in the international press lambaste controversial bills that flicker the rule-of-law debate. Still, a leader who chooses to court investors and confront corruption, rather than expand crony control, deserves the benefit of the doubt from conservatives who want results, not excuses.
What Paraguay shows is simple common sense: defend your borders, defend your families, keep taxes and red tape low, and the people will prosper. While leftist regimes around South America chase social experiments and centralize power, Paraguay under Peña is a reminder that conservative governance can produce real living-wage opportunities and renewed national pride.
Patriots in the United States should take note and lend their moral support to partners who stand with Israel, Taiwan, and the principles that made the West prosperous. If Washington wants dependable allies, it should reward countries that choose liberty and economic freedom over the siren song of authoritarianism and dependency.
