Euclides Acevedo, presidential candidate for the New Republic Movement, confirmed Jorge Querey, national senator for the Guasu Front, as the vice president of his presidential ticket in the next elections for the 2023-2028 period.
The press conference took place at the Palmaroga hotel on Tuesday morning. Parliamentary candidates for the aforementioned party participated in it, as well as authorities from the Guasu Front, the media and the general public.
Euclides Acevedo expressed that it is a transcendental day for Paraguayan politics because they are going to close a pact, agreement and hope. “This agreement is for the purpose of announcing the accompaniment to our candidacy of my old friend, a militant for freedom, a fighter for social justice, a respected and respectable professional, a responsible parliamentarian, a man of the party, a team player, supportive and, above all, things, decent,” he said.
He anticipated that the union of forces will not only be electorally successful but also politically successful. “This duo is not an occurrence or the political spontaneity of anyone. It is the result of long, hard work that has already begun with President Lugo. The result of a programmatic agreement, of the central axes to get our country out of the dunghill where it is, ”he commented.
QUEREY
Jorge Querey is currently a national senator for the Guasu Front. Due to the investigations he carried out on groups dedicated to organized crime, political actors ask him to continue in Parliament. Faced with this situation, the legislator responded that he is making a commitment to overcome the effort to transform this country, in such a way that there is no more poverty, nor is there a lack of food. “To this day, at this moment, when we are in this press conference, there are 800 thousand people in our country who do not have enough for three meals. So there are also some 2.5 million who have enough to eat, but if they get sick, their children will no longer have enough to eat or buy medicine,” he explained.
He affirmed that every day, citizens start the day with personal challenges, such as improving their lives, and those of their families. But there are fields and spaces such as medicine, religion and politics, which require other, much greater challenges. “What is the step I have to take today to be consistent with my commitment to that poor peasant, with that displaced indigenous person, with those workers who do not have social security, with those young people who do not have opportunities? and so on, “this is why I decided to integrate this plate”, he commented.
Finally, he said that from day one he has been committed to a head-on fight against corruption. “Each stolen Guaraní is a medicine that cannot be bought, a plate of food that cannot be purchased for the people. I believe that in the parliamentary work that we carry out, we have developed the capacity to study the criminal organizations that threaten the institutions of the republic and thus confront it successfully,” she concluded.
