People protest against cuts in the national budget in front of the Congress building in Asuncion November 26, 2009. Thousands of demonstrators, supporting leftist President Fernando Lugo, demanded that conservative senators restore funds designated to housing, land reform and food programs that would benefit the poor, around 38 percent of Paraguay's population.
