US efforts to increase its military presence in northwestern Paraguay have raised concerns in neighboring countries and in sectors of the Paraguayan Congress. Paraguay's promises to give US troops immunity from prosecution for war crimes has drawn protests from social and legislative groups. President Nicanor Duarte has repeatedly denied that the US will be allowed to set up a permanent base like the ones it maintains in Guantanamo, Cuba, and Manta, Ecuador, yet expansions at the Mariscal Estigarribia military facility, 280 km from the border with Bolivia, has raised doubts about Duarte's denials.
