Miguel Prieto led a rally in Santiago and said he will continue despite the court cases
The Yo Creo leader took part in the closing campaign event for the Alianza Lista 2 in support of Víctor “Bebecho” Larre. During the arrival of the convoy, there was an incident involving an improvised blockade, according to ABC Color.
Miguel Prieto visited the community of Santiago to take part in the closing campaign event for the Alianza Lista 2, which is nominating Víctor “Bebecho” Larre for the local mayoralty, according to ABC Color.
According to that outlet, the Yo Creo leader was accompanied by Senator Salyn Buzarquis, Congressman Arnaldo Valdez and other regional leaders. The convoy was received at the city entrance and then advanced in a caravan to the San Juan neighborhood, where the main event was scheduled to take place.
ABC Color reported that, upon arriving at the neighborhood square, a group of people with red flags set up an improvised blockade to prevent passage. In the end, the delegation managed to continue with the activity. Witnesses cited by the newspaper said there were shoves because some people were trying to cut off the electricity supply.
In his speech, Prieto called for leaving political divisions behind and focusing on the community’s economic development. He also said that the Paraguayan state has the resources to address priority demands, including road works, tourism, health and education.
In addition, he urged concentrating political work on the municipal elections on October 4 and projecting that momentum toward the 2028 general elections. In that context, he made a statement about his legal situation: “Neither 10, 20, 30 nor 40 lawsuits are going to stop me or make me back down”, according to ABC Color.
