Paraguay
Cartes called for prioritizing health and demanded internal discipline in the ANR
The ANR president said the State must provide urgent responses in public health and, at the same time, called on supporters to back the candidates emerging from the primaries ahead of the municipal elections.
Horacio Cartes called for public health to be treated as a priority and said that no Paraguayan should be left without care for lack of doctors, medicines or resources. According to RCC, the ANR president said that, even with the constraints facing the Government, the state response must not be delayed because this is an essential right.
During the events marking the 139th anniversary of the party organization’s founding, Cartes also said that the Partido Colorado has a historic responsibility to the public and that it must listen to the population’s problems in order to offer concrete responses.
In that context, he also called for party unity ahead of the municipal elections on October 4. According to RCC, he said the primaries have already concluded and that it is time to support the candidates chosen by the grassroots.
Cartes also warned those who seek to disregard decisions made within the party and asked the Tribunal de Conducta to act, within its statutory powers, in cases of indiscipline or party disloyalty.
According to RCC, the ANR leader also highlighted the party’s political weight, although he stressed that it cannot remain in its history and must project itself into the future with organization, preparation and unity. In that line, he recalled the origins of the Asociación Nacional Republicana and said that its reason for being is Paraguay.
