Rodrigo Gamarra called for dialogue within Honor Colorado and rejected a scenario of rupture
The lawmaker addressed the crisis inside the Cartismo, acknowledged tensions and spoke of minority groups seeking to take advantage of them. According to ABC Color, he said the movement must remain united under Horacio Cartes' leadership.
Amid the internal crisis in Honor Colorado, lawmaker Rodrigo Gamarra spoke on X and called for differences to be addressed through dialogue. According to ABC Color, the legislator acknowledged the existence of tensions, but rejected the idea that there are now two opposing camps within the movement.
Gamarra said that Honor Colorado has Horacio Cartes as its president and main political reference, and also mentioned Santiago Peña and Pedro Alliana as leaders with central responsibilities and leadership roles. According to ABC Color, the lawmaker sought to present himself as close to Cartes without confronting the president or the vice president.
In his message, he attributed the worsening of the conflict to “minority groups” and “intermediaries” who, in his view, deepen the differences. He also called for direct talks between the main players and urged them to set aside internal “bites” to avoid a split.
ABC Color recalled that Gamarra took part in the meeting between Cartista lawmakers and governors aligned with Peña and Alliana at Raúl Latorre’s home, an encounter that preceded the escalation of the dispute. After that meeting, Cartes pushed from the Junta de Gobierno for Juan Carlos Baruja to form a presidential ticket with Alliana for 2028, although the vice president replied that he would make that decision after October 4.
The outlet also noted that there was later a meeting of governors with Peña and Alliana at Mburuvichá Róga and, later on, a tense meeting between Cartes and Alliana. In that context, Gamarra said he does not have to choose between Cartes and Peña because he supports both and said he is working so that no one has to step aside.
