Colorado leaders set preferences for the ticket, but call for prioritizing the municipal campaign
ANR grassroots leaders mention different names to accompany Pedro Alliana and, at the same time, downplay the impact of that discussion on the October 4 election. According to Última Hora, in Capital they lean toward Raúl Latorre and in Ciudad del Este toward César Sosa.
ANR grassroots leaders expressed different preferences over who should accompany Pedro Alliana on a future ticket, although several downplayed the internal dispute and said the main focus today is on the municipal elections on October 4.
According to Última Hora, among the leadership in Capital, Raúl Latorre appears among the best-regarded options, while in Ciudad del Este support is leaning toward Governor César Sosa. There are also mentions of Juan Carlos Baruja.
Luque councilman Enrique Quintana said that the Colorado movement is currently focused on the municipal campaign and considered that the discussion over the Vice Presidency is not a central concern today. According to the morning paper, he also said that the leadership is awaiting Alliana’s decision and stressed that within Honor Colorado there are debates and differing positions, but that decisions are made jointly within the command.
From Asunción, the president of precinct 45, Alcides Florentín, told Última Hora that the internal situation in Honor Colorado will not affect the municipal elections, in which the sector is aiming to remain in charge of the capital city hall. He added that Camilo Pérez’s candidacy could only be affected if the issue were to trickle down to the grassroots, something that, he said, is not happening.
Florentín mentioned Latorre as his first option to join the ticket with Alliana. Regarding Sosa, he said that the capital leadership still does not know him, although he considered it positive that he has territorial backing and his own resources. As for Baruja, he preferred not to comment. He also expressed rejection of Marco Riquelme, whom he criticized for not coming from the party sphere or having a presence in the precincts, always according to Última Hora.
In Ciudad del Este, Osvaldo Sánchez told the newspaper that the local preference is for César Sosa, whom he valued for his background from the country’s interior. He also highlighted that one of the priorities attributed to the governor would be to advance the decentralization of the State to avoid long trips by citizens in search of procedures or specialized medical care.
