Álvaro Saldívar

Álvaro Saldívar is the mayor of Guayaibí, Paraguay, who recently gained media attention for denouncing the National Directorate of Taxation (DNIT) for the unjustified retention of his cassava production during an inspection. He claimed that officials acted with aggression and demanded documentation from his driver, who was unable to provide it at the time, leading to a heated confrontation. Saldívar, a long-time producer of horticultural products, defended the legality of his harvest and expressed concerns about the impact of such actions on small producers in the region.
