The ruling party in Paraguay reveals divisions before the elections

said the politician in an interview with national radio station Carlos Antonio López (AM 700) from the southwestern city of Pilar.

“The interior makes many Colorados work only for their congressional candidates and not for the ANR’s presidential board,” lamented Aliana in her remarks in that city, the capital of Nempoche Province, 358 kilometers from Asuncion on the border with Argentina.

Other media outlets, such as ABC Color, agreed that the vice-presidential nominee “was annoyed and emphatically menacing that ANR wants to rule without rancor, but will not forgive traitors.”

In the radio interview, Aliana talked about the possibilities and opportunities to keep the numbers in the House of Representatives and the Senate and considered that unity is very important for the National Energy Agency, although she made it clear that “not all Colorados support the political project.”

The candidate for vice-president of the republic, however, praised the “strength of the team” and the work done during the campaign with his partner from the Communist Party Santiago Peña, in view of the 2023 Paraguayan elections.

But we will keep a long memory – he insisted – to remember the people who did not accompany the party to the elections. We have no hatred or resentment in our hearts, we want to rule with much love towards our party, but we will consider people who have not accompanied us.”

According to Aliana, “a lot of people have decided to only support the candidate for senator or representative, but not the gubernatorial candidate and the presidential ticket.”

It should be remembered – ABC Color writes – that at the conclusion of the PC campaign the day before in Asuncion, the main revisionists of the Fuerza Republicana movement, led by President Mario Abdo Benitez, Vice President Hugo Velazquez and ANR leader, former president Horace Cartes absent were questioning.

Sunday’s general election, to which some 4.8 million eligible voters have been called, will field more than 9,000 candidates for positions in various government or legislative bodies, according to the Supreme Court of Electoral Justice.

The source adds that the consultation will elect a new President of the Republic for the period 2023-2028, a vice president, 45 members of the Senate, 80 deputies, 17 governors, and 257 members of the provincial councils.
