# Paraguay suspends Itaipú Annex C talks after Brasília acknowledges a 2022 Abin operation Date: 2025 ## The fact On or about 4 April 2025 Paraguay’s foreign ministry suspended indefinitely all negotiations on Itaipú Annex C until Brasília provided satisfactory explanations of a 2022 Abin intelligence operation against Paraguayan officials. Brazil attributed the operation to the Bolsonaro years and said it closed on 27 March 2023. Opposition parties, including PLRA, called the pause a delay and asked that talks accelerate. A unique later megawatt integer is not Contribution.size. ## Context [Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva](/people/env-person-lula) is the live counterpart. [Jair Bolsonaro](/people/jair-bolsonaro) is live on the 2022 neighbourhood. Peña did not sit as an Abin officer. 2024 tariff understanding is parent weather. A later Annex C gazette would be a child. Keep Paraguay suspends Itaipú Annex C talks after Brasília acknowledges a 2022 Abin operation on 2025-04-04 separate from neighbouring 15 August 2023 oath, 15 November 2024 Law 7363, and April 2025 Itaipú Annex C suspension.

He does not sit as an Itaipú turbine operator, a TSJE precinct printer, or a US designations officer. ## Evidence and sources Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Paraguay carries the official instrument or communique. EFE / Infobae records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is polarisation and Colorado continuity: a completed freeze of the Itaipú annex talks. ## What is established and what is not Established: Asunción suspended Annex C talks in early April 2025 after the Abin acknowledgement; opposition parties criticised the pause. Not established: A unique later megawatt integer as Contribution.size, or that the 2022 operation is Peña authorship. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. He is president. Brasília acknowledged the 2022 operation. Lula is referenced, not minted.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date.
