Silvio “Beto” Ovelar, a national senator, affirmed that Efraín Alegre is the ideal candidate for the Concertación because he is a very strong actor within the PLRA but does not generate support outside the party.
“You make a mistake by not taking someone from socialism, from the Guasu Front or from the left. I despise socialism and the left and that will cost you dearly. That makes it easier for us to have a candidate like Santi Peña who captures the independent votes,” he said.
Immediately afterwards, he affirmed that from the moment he questioned the North American embassy, it is where his popularity began to increase.
