Resumo: | The Paraguayan Independence differs from other Latin American processes because was not won by war, although the violent conflicts in the former viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata strongly influenced the formation of the new state, and the establishment of the Dictatorship of Dr. Francia, which was, however, approved by a popular congress. In this article, we analyse this process and then focus on the politics of Dr. Francia against his political rivals, the old commercial elite, mainly from Spain or Buenos Aires. In this context, we critically discuss an order from 1814 which prohibits any marriage between people of this group with person who are not indigenous or of African ancestry. We demonstrate that this measure did not aim at any ethnic homogenization, as often stated, but at the destruction of the social and political power of the former élite. This gave way to a state which held the monopoly of power, but at the cost of an extremely personalized political system. |

En este artículo, examinamos este proceso, para después analizar la política del Dr. Francia contra sus rivales políticos, la antigua élite comercial, en su mayoría de origen español y porteño. En este contexto, discutimos críticamente una orden de 1814, la cual prohíbe el matrimonio de este grupo con personas que no sean indígenas o castas, para comprobar que esta medida no apuntaba a fomentar la homogenización étnica de la joven nación, sino a destruir el poder social y económico de este grupo y concentrar el poder político y militar en manos del Dr. Francia. Esto permitió el surgimiento de un estado que mantenía el monopolio de poder, pero a costo de un extremo personalismo político.
