Abstract
The paper treats the A.Stroessner’s era political heritage elements. The author notes that the political system modernization was successful. That is primarily reflected in the electoral procedures stability. At the same time, corruption, which has been essentially institutionalized un-der an authoritarian regime, remains an important factor in public life. Despite the political system modernization, the facts of privileged ac-cess to resources and influence trading are still a routine practice. They rather caused irritation than result in specific anti-corruption actions un-til the current electoral cycle when anti-corruption activities have be-come an instrument of political struggle. The pressure of civil society actions helped to start the corruption investigation by the relevant au-thorities. The legislative and executive officials both on the national and regional level are under scrutiny. The article examines the condi-tions that led to the implementation of the anti-corruption request.
