Pre-candidates for the presidency of the Republic for the concertation met this Thursday to discuss the points that unite them, with the aim of building the winning alternative, with a view to the internal elections next December.

In addition, the pre-candidates, Esperanza Martínez, Payo Cubas, Efraín Alegre and Euclides Acevedo, who could not attend due to previous commitments, were invited.
Martín Burt highlighted the openness of the candidates and celebrated that they all have the conviction to achieve a change of government, which has as its primary axis the needs of all Paraguayans.

For his part, Sebastián Villarejo pointed out that the meeting also served to discuss the elections. “We meet to seek fair elections, find the conditions that favor it; always with the will that unity is the way, and that it be the citizens who choose who is going to lead the opposition”, he referred.
