The numbers speak for themselves—indisputable evidence of a genuine land titling revolution, as President Santiago Peña highlighted. Reflecting on my work in these few months, he described me as a tireless worker, honest, and someone with tremendous sensitivity.

His words serve as motivation to continue breaking records. Boldly, I promised to achieve 2,000 land titles in 100 days, more than double the 927 titles per year achieved in previous administrations. I dared to say it because of my accumulated experience in the field and my knowledge of Cadastre and Registry of earlier roles. Thanks to his support, my personal values, and my commitment to our country, we have surpassed the goal by 30%, exceeding the annual titling average by more than 100%.

I had expressed to the President that we would revolutionize Paraguay to benefit people needing access to their property titles. Those without titles are condemned to poverty and backwardness, as he emphasized. The President reminded us that over the years, the Paraguayan state became the largest landowner through land purchases, contrary to the true goal of agrarian reform: «Not for the State to have land, but for the farmer to have land.»
