Juan Stefanich

Juan Stefanich Troche (1889–1979) was a Paraguayan politician and public intellectual who served as Minister of Foreign Affairs under the Rafael Franco administration.[1] In 1925, he along with colleagues began publication of La Nacion.[1] In 1928, a group led by Stefanich created Liga Nacional Independiente, which argued for a revitalized Paraguayan democracy ("democracia solidarista").[1]

He represented Paraguay in international organizations, including on the Secretariat of the League of Nations.[1] He authored several books.[1]

He helped to organize the 1936 February Revolution, which ousted President Eusebio Ayala and brought to power colonel Rafael Franco.[1] He was Minister of Foreign Affairs under Franco from 1936 to Franco's ouster in 1937.[1]

He went into exile in Buenos Aires.[2]
