Ayolas is ready for political change, says 'Yo Creo' candidate

Ayolas, Paraguay – A mayoral candidate in Ayolas asserts that the district is poised for a significant political shift, expressing confidence in his alliance's ability to win the upcoming October election. Dennis Dioff, running under the "Recuperemos el Paraíso" (Let's Recover Paradise) alliance, believes the electorate's recent rejection of the ruling party's candidate in internal elections signals a clear desire for change.

Dioff, representing the "Yo Creo" (I Believe) movement, highlighted that the "Recuperemos el Paraíso" alliance, which includes PLRA and Participación Ciudadana, has solidified its candidates through internal processes. He emphasized the need for broad support, stating, "We are aware that to achieve victory on October 4th, we need the support of all sectors, including Colorados, because in the end, we are pursuing the same objective: the development of Ayolas."

Beyond local politics, Dioff raised serious accusations against the current government, alleging it is using the justice system to persecute presidential hopeful Miguel Prieto, a key figure in the "Yo Creo" movement. Dioff claims over 40 lawsuits have been filed against Prieto with the aim of disqualifying him from the 2028 presidential race. "It is unheard of. There are other cases, like in Asunción, where Nenecho Rodríguez is implicated in huge financial discrepancies that everyone knows about, but he is not investigated because he is part of the ruling party's political team, while Prieto represents the people and change," Dioff stated.

He further asserted that the ruling party views Prieto as its main adversary and is attempting to neutralize him politically. Dioff suggested that the government might resort to indicting Prieto or even imprisoning him to prevent his presidential candidacy. "In Paraguay, there is no justice; the institution responsible for administering justice is at the service of the ruling party," he concluded, painting a grim picture of the political landscape and the alleged instrumentalization of the judiciary.
