A former Colorado deputy, convicted in the US for drug trafficking and money laundering, Cynthia Tarragó, requested to be reincorporated into the Colorado Party.
Many took this as a kind of impertinence, and others understood it as a normality within the structure of a Party that has had many people suspicious of its conduct during the time it has remained in the legislature, and even in the Executive with all the crimes for which several people were convicted, including Cynthia Tarragó, who says – like anyone in her condition – “if everyone is more or less, or worse than me, why shouldn’t I be part of this association of free men like proclaims the founding charter of the Colorado Party?
It will be quite a hot potato for the Ethics Tribunal of this political association to decide whether or not it can be included in the registers.
Which well supposes that she is interested in plebiscitating her name for some public office, as she has already said before she was arrested in the United States, when she wanted to be a candidate for Mayor of Asunción for one of the internal movements of the ANR.
Ethical and moral problems are “sonsera rei”, in Gonzáles Macchi’s expression; and what we are seeing on this occasion is, simply, the game of a person who provokes a political group infested with characters suspected of drug trafficking and money laundering, to whom he has not been able to say NO, not only to get them in, but to that they remain and run for office, and they will not have the moral authority to say no to the condemned Cynthia Tarragó.
