One year on since he was elected to office as President of Paraguay, Fernando Lugo is making headlines in the country he leads, but for all the wrong reasons. Newspapers and TV programmes have been dominated by stories of women coming forward to claim they had a child with the former Catholic bishop. This "political soap opera", complained one of these reports, is "paralysing the government".  Three women have made allegations so far and there were reports in the Paraguay media that there may be more claims to come.
Fernando Lugo was a Catholic bishop.
