Nakayama Urged the Opposition to Focus on the Municipal Elections Despite the Honor Colorado Internal Rift
The Liberal senator warned that the crisis within the ruling party does not automatically translate into an advantage for its rivals. He said opposition work should focus on the October 4 elections.
Liberal Senator Eduardo Nakayama said the internal split in Honor Colorado could create tension within the ruling party, but stressed that the opposition should not assume that this will by itself translate into an electoral advantage.
According to ABC Color, the lawmaker said the dispute within the ruling movement does not guarantee a direct improvement for opposition sectors. In that line, he said the opposition camp, and in particular the Partido Liberal Radical Auténtico, should approach the campaign as if the ruling party were arriving strengthened for the municipal elections on October 4.
Nakayama also said that, beyond the total number of municipalities the opposition may win, it will be important to look at which districts it manages to capture. In the department of Misiones, he mentioned San Juan Bautista, San Ignacio, Villa Florida, Santa María de Fe, Santiago and Santa Rosa as strategic points.
According to ABC Color, the senator also focused on Asunción, where he considered that Soledad Núñez‘s candidacy represents an opportunity for the opposition. He also said that in Itapúa they hope to retain Encarnación and recover other districts.
The statements were made during a political tour of Misiones, where Nakayama accompanied the candidate for mayor of the departmental capital for the PLRA, Juan Carlos Meza Medina, and the municipal council candidate Bruni García, according to that outlet.
