Do I need to register as a lobbyist in Paraguay to meet ministries about a new regulation?

Under Paraguayan law, meetings with ministries or members of Congress to present comments or proposals on draft regulations are generally permissible. Paraguay does not currently have a comprehensive lobbying law or a mandatory lobbyist registry at the national level, so there is typically no formal registration requirement to hold these meetings. The Constitution guarantees the right of citizens and companies to petition public authorities, which allows stakeholders to present opinions, proposals, or concerns regarding legislative or regulatory initiatives.
