[Paraguay] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Former construction workers from Paraguay's Itaipu hydroelectric plant chained themselves outside the Supreme Court in Asunción around April 6, 2025, demanding unpaid benefits that their Brazilian counterparts reportedly received through court orders. The protest appears peaceful with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether labor disputes spread to active operations at the binational facility.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or expansion of protests that could affect current Itaipu operations or other infrastructure projects
• Watch for official government or court responses that might set precedent for similar labor disputes in the energy sector
