New president in Paraguay

Ex-bishop Fernando Lugo has been elected president in Paraguay.
The 56-year-old ex-bishop said on the announcement of his election, "Today we can dream of a different country. Paraguay will simply not be remembered for its corruption and poverty, but for its honesty".

The ruling party had been in power since 1947.
