[tz] Paraguay on its way to stay on DST

[Carlos Raúl Perasso]

Hi,

Instead of approving or rejecting the law that would eliminate winter time
in Paraguay, the Senate has changed the project, keeping the rules for DST
but making it a law (it was a decree). It has to go back to the Chamber of
Deputies, but the most probable thing is that there will be no changes in
the rules for Paraguay DST, at least this year.

Saludos,
