Political career

From 2000 to 2003 Oviedo held a number of ministerial positions in the cabinet of Luis González Macchi. In 2007 Oviedo became a senator in the Paraguayan Senate. Shortly after, he was elected in a special election to succeed Luis Castiglioni as Vice President of the Republic. This was for the remainder of the presidential term, until 15 August 2008.

Presidential aspiration

Nicanor Duarte Frutos offered his resignation as President of Paraguay to the Paraguayan Congress on June 23, 2008. [5][6] It was assumed that Oviedo, as vice president, would succeed him.[7] However, President Duarte's resignation was not accepted, and Oviedo therefore did not assume the presidency.

gollark: So basically, the "god must exist because the universe is complex" thing ignores the fact that it... isn't really... and that gods would be pretty complex too, and does not answer any questions usefully because it just pushes off the question of why things exist to why *god* exists.
gollark: To randomly interject very late, I don't agree with your reasoning here. As far as physicists can tell, while pretty complex and hard for humans to understand, relative to some other things the universe runs on simple rules - you can probably describe the way it works in maybe a book's worth of material assuming quite a lot of mathematical background. Which is less than you might need for, say, a particularly complex modern computer system. You know what else is quite complex? Gods. They are generally portrayed as acting fairly similarly to humans (humans like modelling other things as basically-humans and writing human-centric stories), and even apart from that are clearly meant to be intelligent agents of some kind. Both of those are complicated - the human genome is something like 6GB, a good deal of which probably codes for brain things. As for other intelligent things, despite having tons of data once trained, modern machine learning things are admittedly not very complex to *describe*, but nobody knows what an architecture for general intelligence would look like.
