Arnoldo Wiens backed Camilo Pérez in Asunción and called for keeping campaign promises
Twenty days before the municipal elections, the Colorado Añetete leader took part in an activity with the Lista 1 candidate in the capital. At the meeting, he called for preserving party unity and warned about the erosion of public trust caused by broken promises.
Arnoldo Wiens took part in a meeting with leaders alongside Camilo Pérez at Seccional No. 39, in the final stretch of the campaign for the municipal elections on October 4, according to Última Hora. The appearance reinforced the rapprochement between Colorado Añetete and the team promoting Pérez’s candidacy for mayor of Asunción on Lista 1.
According to that outlet, Wiens said that Colorado leadership must focus its efforts on Lista 1 and reiterated his call to preserve unity within the Partido Colorado. He also noted that the race in Asunción will carry special weight because it is the capital and the country’s main municipality.
During his remarks, he focused on the link between the leadership and the public, and warned that unfulfilled promises and unanswered complaints erode trust in politics. To explain that idea, he invoked the theory of “broken windows,” which he used to compare those situations of neglect or noncompliance.
According to Última Hora, Wiens also expressed his support for Pérez and pledged the backing of his sector for the candidacy. Pérez, for his part, said that transforming Asunción requires changes in the way the city is administered and argued that one of the challenges will be to regain residents’ trust with a results-oriented administration.
