The Taking of Encarnación was an attempted anarchist occupation of Encarnación, Paraguay, in February 1931 as part of a larger plan to initiate a social libertarian (anarchist) revolution in the country.

Event

As part of a larger plan to initiate a social libertarian (anarchist) revolution in Paraguay, a group of workers and students attempted to proclaim a libertarian commune in Encarnación on February 20, 1931.[1] Led by Obdulio Barthe, Félix Cantalicio Aracuyú, and Facundo Duarte, and propelled by the Nuevo Ideario Nacional, 150 anarchists and communists occupied Encarnación for 16 hours.[2] A stray bullet from the occupation left Aracuyú badly wounded.[3]

The other components of the planned popular revolution, in Asunción and Villarrica, were foiled as their labor leaders were deported in the days preceding the action. [2]

Legacy

Novelist Gabriel Casaccia alluded to this event in his Los Hederos.[1]
