Tetagua Sapucai denounced that the Cartista internal dispute seeks to divert attention from the social crisis
The organization issued a statement in Asunción in which it questioned the lack of government responses in social, educational and health areas. It also called for a "second independence" against what it defined as a political system serving a minority.
The organization Tetagua Sapucai said in a statement released in Asunción that the Cartista internal dispute ahead of the 2028 presidential election is functioning as a distraction from social, economic and cultural problems that, in its view, are affecting the country, according to Última Hora.
In that statement, the group warned about a deterioration in quality of life and questioned the lack of state assistance for vulnerable sectors. It also pointed to the absence of solutions to the land issue, the situation of the peasant or chococue sector and the difficulties in obtaining better prices for their products.
According to Última Hora, the statement also warned about the loss of purchasing power among the working population and the lack of budget for indigenous peoples since last year.
In education, Tetagua Sapucai linked the sector’s crisis to the results of the PISA report, which, according to the text cited by Última Hora, showed a low level in the assessment of educators’ knowledge.
In health and social security, the organization denounced persistent shortcomings in the Ministry of Health and in private-sector pension coverage through the Instituto de Previsión Social. It said those deficiencies, combined with low wages, affect daily life because of the high costs of medicines, medical care and education.
According to Última Hora, the group also questioned the lack of measures to recover IPS funds deposited in private banks and specifically mentioned Ueno Bank.
As a conclusion, Tetagua Sapucai called for a “second independence” of a patriotic, social, cultural and economic nature, aimed, according to its position, at political liberation from corrupt leaderships and the Cartista administration.
