Paraguay
PLRA leaders align with Ariel Ojeda in Fernando de la Mora
Grassroots Liberal figures decided to back the ANR candidate for mayor. According to La Nación Paraguay, the move marks a new shift within the main local opposition bloc.
A group of grassroots leaders from the Authentic Radical Liberal Party decided to stop supporting Luis Fernando Franco’s candidacy and instead back Ariel Ojeda in the race for mayor of Fernando de la Mora.
According to La Nacif3n Paraguay, the Liberal figures justified their decision by saying that Ojeda has greater management capacity, is closer to residents, and offers a proposal they consider stronger to respond to the city’s needs.
The outlet also said the move was seen as a politically significant development, since among those who changed position are figures with experience and territorial work. It also said that, for these leaders, the city’s well-being came before partisan differences.
Still according to La Nacif3n Paraguay, these departures from the PLRA strengthen the support base for Ojeda’s municipal project. Among the leaders mentioned by the outlet are Benito Medina, Bárbara Medina and Stefania Medina, identified as figures from the Medina family and the community of Camba Cuá.
