Crossfire on social media between Soledad Núñez and Óscar Rodríguez in the Asunción campaign
The opposition candidate and the former capital city mayor exchanged accusations and threats of legal action on social media. The dispute erupted after a post about municipal management.
The campaign for the Intendencia of Asunción added a new episode of confrontation between Soledad Núñez and former Colorado mayor Óscar Nenecho Rodríguez, with a public exchange on social media, according to Última Hora.
According to that outlet, the controversy began when Núñez linked Rodríguez to an alleged irregular use of municipal resources and said that, if she reaches the capital city administration, she will promote an audit of the previous administration.
Still according to Última Hora, Rodríguez responded by sharing that post and publicly demanding that the candidate stand by her statements or delete the post. In that message, he also warned that he could file a defamation lawsuit.
Núñez replied that she is not afraid and described Rodríguez’s administration as the worst in Asunción’s history. She also reaffirmed her intention to review the use of municipal resources and recover what, in her view, belongs to the city.
Later, Rodríguez insisted on the request for a correction and again mentioned a possible legal action, in addition to questioning Núñez’s experience in public administration.
