The Colorado Party candidate for mayor of Asunción outlined priorities related to transportation, security, digitalization, entrepreneurship and sports. The event brought together more than 500 young people, according to La Nación Paraguay.
Camilo Pérez, candidate for mayor of Asunción on List 1 of the Colorado Party, took part in a conversation with young people in Barrio Jara, where he raised the need to generate more opportunities within the city to study, work, start businesses and develop, according to La Nación Paraguay.
According to that outlet, the event was held together with the team of Gerardo “Gringo” Benítez, candidate for councilor on List 1 – Option 1, and brought together more than 500 young people. During the meeting, participants defined the topics to be discussed and sent questions through a QR code, in addition to taking part directly.
Among the main issues addressed were the digitalization of the Municipality, the possibility of more young people returning to live in Asunción and the safety conditions for moving around the city. Pérez said, according to La Nación Paraguay, that on his tours there is often a demand for a city with better mobility conditions and greater security.
In that context, he proposed strengthening internal transportation for young people from outlying neighborhoods, with the aim of making it easier for them to reach study and work centers. He also highlighted the digitalization of municipal management as a tool to bring services closer, improve transparency and simplify procedures.
According to La Nación Paraguay, another of the points raised was support for young entrepreneurs, based on coordination between the municipality, micro, small and medium-sized business associations, the private sector and neighborhood committees. In addition, he included sports as an axis of social transformation and proposed recovering public squares for sports and training activities.
As a reference, he mentioned the 11 medals obtained by Team Paraguay in the first days of the ODESUR Santa Fe 2026 Games, and said those results are the outcome of work, management and support.
