Alliana Campaigned in Three PLRA-Governed Municipalities in Ñeembucú
The vice president toured Humaitá, Paso de Patria and Isla Umbú alongside Colorado leaders and candidates. According to ABC Color, he aimed to win those mayoralties back for the ANR in the next municipal elections.
Paraguay’s vice president, Pedro Alliana, carried out a political tour this weekend through three municipalities in Ñeembucú that are currently administered by the Authentic Radical Liberal Party. According to ABC Color, the purpose of the tour was to support the candidates of the National Republican Association and seek to have that party regain those mayoralties in the next municipal elections.
The agenda included activities in Humaitá, Paso de Patria and Isla Umbú, where Alliana took part in campaign events alongside departmental leaders and Colorado candidates. According to that outlet, the vice president traveled by helicopter between the districts.
In Humaitá, the ANR is backing the candidacy of Héctor Cáceres, who will compete against the current Liberal mayor Julio Caballero, who is seeking reelection. In Paso de Patria, the Colorado candidate is Sebastián Fernández, facing Liberal Antonio Gómez. In Isla Umbú, the ANR is nominating Pelagio Colmán, who will contest the mayoralty with Liberal Jorge Marecos.
During a speech in Paso de Patria, Alliana criticized Gómez’s administration and said, according to ABC Color, that the district is experiencing a setback. He also alleged that there are authorities acting “in the murky, in the dark” and seeking to influence the electoral landscape with the participation of people from other districts.
In that context, he defended the request for an audit of the electoral roll and called for the municipality’s future to be decided by its own residents. He also presented Fernández as an option for change and highlighted his honesty, preparation and commitment to the community. According to the Paraguayan newspaper, he also praised the presence of women on the list of Colorado council candidates.
