INTERIM INTENDENT
Carolina Yunis de Acevedo, wife of Ronald Acevedo, governor of Amambay, took office as the new mayor of Pedro Juan Caballero (PJC). She will be in office on an interim basis, for 90 days, until the TSJE calls for new elections for the replacement of José Carlos Acevedo.
Yunis was elected as a municipal councilor last year and was later elected president of the Municipal Board.

For this period, Acevedo was elected on October 10, so the tragic outcome occurred within his first three years in office.

“Suddenly to give José Carlos a break, it was the intention to run for the municipal board. So that the projects of this new period are more accompanied and are approved quickly. Taking over the quartermaster like this is very heavy, but we are with the same strength that he has transmitted to us. We are here to follow the projects”, he pointed out.
