Soledad Núñez called for high turnout and questioned Camilo Pérez in the race for Asunción
The candidate for the Alianza Juntos por Asunción called on voters to confront what she described as an entrenched structure at City Hall. She also said her rival would be unable to drive change because of his political commitments.
Asunción mayoral candidate Soledad Núñez urged citizens to take part in the October 4 election to, she said, confront the “captive votes” and a “dark structure” installed at the Asunción City Hall, according to statements reported by ABC Color.
According to that outlet, Núñez said a massive turnout would also help stop “Don Dinero,” whom she accused of trying to condition the popular will. In that context, she called on citizens to vote to “oust” from the municipality a structure she described as corrupt.
The candidate for the Alianza Juntos por Asunción also said, according to ABC Color, that the capital is deteriorated because funds that should go to services such as garbage collection, pothole repairs and urban improvement end up being used to finance political campaigns.
Núñez also targeted her opponent Camilo Pérez. According to ABC Color, she said that, if he were to reach City Hall, he would have his “hands tied” by his link to the political structure that, in her view, brought Asunción City Hall to its current situation. In that sense, she said nothing would change under a possible administration of his because he would not be able to dismantle that scheme.
The candidate also said she has experience in institutional cleanup and recalled that she worked at the Ministry of Urbanism during the presidency of Horacio Cartes, always according to what was published by ABC Color.
