Paraguay's president, Santiago Peña, signed on Friday morning the decree that declares the Cártel de los Soles as an international terrorist organization, the criminal group operating on the Latin American continent whose leader is the Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
"The transnational criminal organization known as 'Cartel de los Soles' is designated as an international terrorist organization. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall endorse this," the decree begins.
The Paraguayan government thus states that it "reaffirms its unwavering commitment to democracy, the Social Rule of Law, and the fight against international terrorist organizations and transnational organized crime in order to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity."
