The World : U.S. Ambassador Warned

Share via

Clyde R. Taylor, the U.S. ambassador in Paraguay, is in danger of becoming persona non grata because of his continued support for the opposition, Interior Minister Sabino Augusto Montanaro said. The statement by Montanaro, vice president of the ruling Colorado Party, follows Taylor’s offer to help the opposition station Radio Nanduty end the jamming of its signals, which caused it to suspend operations last Wednesday because of financial losses. There was no immediate comment from Taylor, whose remarks in support of democracy since taking over the ambassadorship in late 1985 have angered the Paraguayan hierarchy. Paraguay has been ruled by the rightist strongman, Gen. Alfredo Stroessner, since 1954.
