Christine Folch of Duke University sat down with Pedro Ferreira the technocrat who resigned as head of Paraguay’s public utility company ANDE over a secret agreement deal to sell excess energy to Brazil at below-market prices for profit. He explains the politics behind it and why he did it.

In an exclusive interview recorded on August 3, 2019 and published for the first time on Global Americans, Ferreira explains why he opposed the Bilateral Act that rocked Paraguay and resulted in his resignation and how Brazil stood to benefit.
