The candidate for senator, Yolanda Paredes, wife of the presidential candidate Paraguayan Cubas, said that, during the tours of the country, they felt the sympathy of the people and that winning the Paraguayan vote is not an easy task.
Almost two hours after the gates closed, the candidate Yolanda Paredes analyzed what the elections have left so far and the high number of votes that can already be seen in favor of Paraguayo Cubas, in the preliminary count of the Electoral Justice.
“We felt the sympathy of the people, we visited all the departments, we reached the last corner of the country. It is not easy to win the Paraguayan vote,” said Paredes, in an interview with Mina Feliciángeli on 1080 AM.
