They seek sanctions in the ANR against the acting mayor of Mariscal Estigarribia
A Colorado councilwoman filed a complaint before the party's Conduct Tribunal against José María Molinas Agüero. He is accused of publicly backing an opposition candidate in the municipal election.
Colorado leaders from Mariscal Estigarribia, led by councilwoman Alejandra Alcaraz Ruiz, filed a formal complaint before the Conduct Tribunal of the National Republican Association against acting mayor José María Molinas Agüero.
According to ABC Color, the filing states that Molinas Agüero publicly expressed his political support for the candidate of the Alianza Unidos por Mariscal, Víctor Díaz, identified with List 7.
According to the complaint, the posts used as the basis for the claim were published on the acting municipal chief’s own social media accounts. The outlet also noted that Molinas Agüero reached the council seat in the 2021 elections through the Partido Colorado.
The complainants question that, instead of supporting the official ANR candidate, Elena Núñez Peralta, the acting mayor is openly backing an opposition contender.
ABC Color added that this is the second complaint filed against Molinas Agüero this week. Days earlier, candidate Carolina González Samudio, from List 123, had accused him of withholding identity cards from members of indigenous communities, as well as alleging assaults with police support and threats with a firearm.
The outlet also indicated that the complainant would be a member of the Clan Alcaraz, whose leader, Eladio Alcaraz, former mayor of the district, was convicted over the misappropriation of millions in public funds.
