Núñez and Prieto called on voters in Asunción and the dispute over a debate with Camilo Pérez resurfaced

Soledad Núñez and Miguel Prieto toured downtown Asunción in a campaign activity in which they called on citizens to take part in the municipal elections and sought to convey confidence about vote monitoring.

According to ABC Color, the day included a “banderazo” and conversations with residents about the importance of going to the polls. Núñez, the mayoral candidate for the Juntos por Asunción Alliance, said they have “a true army of election agents” to safeguard the vote at every table and in every polling place.

According to that outlet, the Alliance submitted to the TSJE a list of 5,000 election agents, with which it expects to cover 100% of the tables in the capital’s 145 polling locations.

Meanwhile, the discussion over a possible debate between Núñez and Camilo Pérez continued. ABC Color reported that the candidate had announced on her social media an event for Wednesday, September 23, at 7:00 p.m., in an activity organized by students of Economics from the Observatorio Economía UNA, although she later suggested that Pérez would not attend.

Still according to ABC Color, Núñez publicly questioned her rival’s absence and again challenged him to debate. The outlet also recalled that both, along with other candidates, had already coincided in forums and presentations before the same audience, but had not yet taken part in a direct exchange.

For his part, Prieto reaffirmed his sector’s support for the Alliance and said they would not be intimidated, either through judicial persecution or labor threats, ABC Color reported.
