He served as the Paraguayan Interior Minister under President Fernando Lugo from 2008 to 2011.[3] He was a member of the Chamber of Deputies of Paraguay from 1998 to 2008 for the Party for a Country of Solidarity, and elected to the Senate of Paraguay for the Democratic Progressive Party in 2008. He resigned his seat in order to become Interior Minister.[2]
