A lot of people have asked for interviews, but we have said no. This is a special case. But we are in political asylum. We have to be careful.

We can't make any statements here. We can't talk about the internal politics of Paraguay.

There was no reason for a revolution in Paraguay.

The state of siege was necessary. There was subversion in Latin America. It was more of a preventive measure. It wasn't used much.

I was always confident that I knew. I never expected this.

I have to think of my status as a resident in this country. But I do insist that in Paraguay there was order; the judiciary had the power of complete independence; justice was fully exercised.
