Libres para Elegir (free to choose) is a Paraguayan political talk show that airs every Sunday night at 19:00 hs on Unicanal cable tv channel. The titel of the show is an allusion to the book Free to Choose by Milton Friedman.

Concept
The show was created by German businessman Carsten Pfau and Paraguayan tv producer Hernán Rodriguez. It premiered in July 2020. A panel of four experts discuss and debate topics of politics and the economy. Occasionally, the show includes guest panelists. The ideological background of the panelists is libertarian-conservative.

The original panel was comprised of Carsten Pfau (who also owns the commercial rights to the show), Gustavo Leite (Paraguay´s former Minister of Industry and Commerce), economist and author Victor Pavon, and former model turned businesswoman Laura Martino.

In November 2020, Gustavo Leite left the show but returns occasionally as a guest panelist. Since April 2021, Argentinean economist and politician Javier Milei is a fixed guest panelist and joins once a month. Since July 2021, businesswoman Maris Llorens is a member of the panel.
