Cartes Called on People to Use Christmas to Review Mistakes and Urged Strengthening Public Health
The ANR leader gave a year-end assessment with a message centered on family reflection, education and the need for no one to be left without medical care. According to HOY Paraguay, there were also activities for the 139th anniversary of the Partido Colorado and statements from party leaders about the ruling coalition’s internal politics.
Horacio Cartes said Christmas is a fitting time for personal and family reflection, and argued that the end of one year and the start of another invite people to review mistakes, correct them and preserve what was done well.
According to HOY Paraguay, the president of the Asociación Nacional Republicana also assessed the party’s current situation and said that those who pass through the Partido Colorado are temporary, while the ANR’s strength lies in its history and its vocation of service.
In that context, he said the public’s expectations of the party entail a responsibility not to disappoint and to continue promoting courses and training programs. He also stressed that, in his view, access to those opportunities should not require party membership, only a desire to improve.
Cartes also focused on health and said the country and the party are of little use if the population does not have access to care. On the ANR anniversary, he included a request to President Santiago Peña about the needs of public health and the importance of ensuring that no Paraguayan is left without care, according to the same outlet.
HOY Paraguay also reported that the celebrations for the Partido Colorado’s 139 years included a floral offering at the Panteón de los Héroes, where the remains of General Bernardino Caballero, founder of the group, are located. The traditional Desfile de la Caballería Republicana was also announced in front of the ANR’s Junta de Gobierno headquarters.
On that event, the outlet published different figures in the same report: on the one hand, it said 170 horses would take part, organized into teams of 48; on the other, it said around 150 riders were expected.
In that context, Nicanor Duarte Frutos advised Pedro Alliana to distance himself from the failures of some members of the Executive branch if he wants to generate enthusiasm in his campaign, always according to HOY Paraguay. Alliana replied that he does not share that view, defined himself as part of the government and said the president will have to listen to suggestions and complaints.
