The National Crusade Party (PCN, Spanish: Partido Cruzada Nacional), formerly National Crusade Movement (MCN, Spanish: Movimento Cruzada Nacional), is a far-right populist political party in Paraguay led by lawyer and ex-senator Paraguayo "Payo" Cubas.
Party leader Payo Cubas is a prominent political and media personality known for his provocative publicity stunts. A lawyer, he served one term in Congress from 1993 to 1998 as a member of the center-left National Encounter Party. In 2018, Cubas was elected to the Senate as a sole member of the National Crusade Movement but was suspended for outbursts and physical altercations with Senate colleagues.
