Paraguayans block the Romanso bridge, the only link from Asuncion to the Chaco region in Paraguay September 22, 2009. About 1,000 demonstrators from the rural community of Puerto Casado blocked the main road to the Chaco region to demand expropriation of a 600,000 hectare estate from a local company which they claim belongs to the Unification Church headed by South Korean Reverend Sun Myung Moon.
