Eusebio Ayala Bordenave was a [[Paraguay|Paraguayan]] politician who played a pivotal role in welcoming [[Emigration from Canada to Mexico and Paraguay in the 1920s|Mennonite immigrants to Paraguay]] in the 1920s. A senator, agricultural minister, foreign minister, and two time president (from 7 November 1921 to 12 April 1923 and again during the [[Chaco War (1932-1935)|Chaco War]] from 15 August 1932 to 17 February 1936), he was often present during meetings between the [[Canada|Canadian]] Mennonites [[Canadian Mennonite Land-Seeking Delegations, 1919-1922|looking for a new homeland]] and their [[McRoberts, Samuel (1868-1947)|representatives]] with President [[Gondra, Manuel (1871-1927)|Manuel Gondra]]. Ayala's facility with [[English Language|English]] and [[German Language|German]] was a great asset. Among other contributions leading to the Mennonites’ settlement in Paraguay, Ayala was the person primarily responsible for shepherding the Mennonites’ request for [[Privileges (Privilegia)|special privileges]], including exemption from [[Military Participation|military service]] and autonomy over the [[Elementary Education#North America|education]] of their children, into official law in 1921. He translated the Mennonites’ request into Spanish, drafted it into a bill, and advocated for the law, against stiff opposition, in the Senate where it passed by thirteen to five vote. The reorganization of [[Menno Colony (Boquerón Department, Paraguay)|Menno Colony]]'s governance structure in 1934-35 was conducted during his presidency and with his official permission.
