Paraguay President Wears Sandals In Fashion

Taiwan's Lianhe Evening News reported on June 8th that Paraguay president elect Rouge stepped up to see the incumbent president Duward when playing sandals, causing criticism of the "irreverence" of the head of state. Paraguay men followed the steps of Lu Ge to make sandals the most fashionable dress.

Lu Ge, a bishop of the Catholic Church, won the presidential election in Paraguay in April 20th and will take office in August 15th.

He calls for improving the gap between the rich and the poor and helping the poor, known as the "poor bishop". Now "bishop sandals" have changed the way men wear shoes in Paraguay.

The shoe store of Asuncion, capital of Paraguay, is booming. The store said that Paraguay men used to wear leather slippers. Since the election of rouge, many people saw Rouge sandals on TV, so they flocked to the shoe store to buy sandals.

For formal occasions, it is rude to wear sandals, and rouge, who has never worn a tie all his life, says that sandals are his style of dress, and his glasses, beards and white shirts are all set.

He wore white socks when he met duhuad.

Attention is paid to his sandals. Lu Ge is very pragmatic. It is hot in Paraguay. His feet sweat easily, and sandals will have no peculiar smell.

Besides, sandals have become his characteristics. He will wear them all the time.

Lu Ge resigned from the bishop in 2005 and joined politics. He did not change the nature of his priests. He did not intend to move into the presidential residence after taking office. He would still live in a small house in the outskirts of Asuncion.

Lu Ge was not the first Latin American head to abandon his suit tie, the green grass uniform of former Cuban President Castro, the Panama shirt of president of Nicaragua, and the striped sweater of President Morales of Bolivia.

Especially the blue, red and white sweater that Morales often wears is even more famous. In Bolivia, this "presidential sweater" has almost become a national uniform.

Moreira also never wears a suit and tie on international occasions. He only wears short sleeved shirt, leather jacket and his favorite striped sweater.
