The presidential elections will set the political agenda for next year. Added to this is the election of the Governing Board of the ANR, where Horacio Cartes has already confirmed his candidacy. While Abdo, affirmed that only in March will he decide.
The arrival of the Ómicron variant in our country will also play a key role in the management of Abdo Benítez. Since a new collapse of the health system could intensify social unrest again and trigger the third impeachment attempt in four years.
Sara Villalba, a political scientist, affirmed that it will be an intense electoral year. With aggressive internal disputes in traditional parties.
“As for the Government of Abdo, I consider that it will be maintained by inertia. Waiting for his term to end. And it would continue with a strong dependency on Honor Colorado that adds followers within the ANR”, he affirmed.
He mentioned inertia in the sense that there is no political will to expel the president. This is due to the agreements that exist between the referents of the Colorado Party.
“I am also referring to inertia in the sense that there will be no major structural changes or the execution of public policies focused on social needs,” he mentioned.
He said that the most that can be expected from this government in 2022 is that it be a reactive rather than proactive government.
“The scenario shows that the power that Honor Colorado concentrates does not need extraordinary actions. That is to say, he does not need to expel Abdo”, he concluded.
DUARTE
Rocío Duarte, a political scientist, affirmed for her part that the political scenario where Abdo Benítez will have to act, in 2022, will be highly influenced by the red inmates. There he will have to deal with the various interests that exist within the ANR with a view to who will be the candidate who will contest the presidential elections.
“At the same time, it will have to face all the problems that will be presented to the country. That there are many as always, “he said.
Abdo began 2021 with great pressure. Corruption remained very strong, a fact that, accentuated by the health collapse, led to a series of massive demonstrations against him in March.
Duarte predicts a quieter first quarter compared to this year.
“We are no longer experiencing that critical moment of health emergency that we had a year ago. In the same way, we must be alert to what happens with this new variant,” he said.
The analyst finally recommended revitalizing the economic sectors, taking into account health care. So also the administration of Health and education.
