Alcides Manena
Alcides Manena is a 43-year-old journalist who has dedicated his career to covering issues related to his hometown, Puerto Casado, Paraguay. He has been a vocal advocate for the rights of local residents, especially concerning land ownership disputes that have persisted for over two decades since the sale of their municipality to a South Korean religious sect. Manena's commitment to documenting the struggles of his community is exemplified by his involvement in the Gran Marcha of 2005, where he and other residents marched 630 kilometers to Asunción to protest against the loss of their ancestral lands.
