'Bukele'i' Registers Asunción Mayoral Candidacy, Vows to Fight Corruption and Dismiss Thousands

Rodrigo Franco, popularly known as 'Bukele'i,' officially registered his candidacy for the mayoralty of Asunción, representing the Christian Democratic Party (PDC). At the Superior Electoral Justice Tribunal (TSJE), Franco declared his platform centered on confronting corruption, specifically targeting the administration of former mayor Oscar 'Nenecho' Rodríguez and his interim successor. He asserted that his party's council candidates are independent and courageous individuals prepared to challenge the entrenched corrupt system within the capital's municipality. Franco promised transparency and the dismissal of thousands of allegedly parasitic employees who have allegedly been draining the municipality for decades. He aims to replace the current political establishment, which he claims has been exploiting the city for years. Franco also criticized opposition candidates, particularly Soledad Núñez, and liberal councilors like Augusto Wagner, who he accused of long-standing pacts with ruling parties. His campaign emphasizes a break from the status quo and a commitment to radical change within Asunción's governance.

We are tired of the same people who have been parasitizing the municipality for decades and who today present themselves as the solution.
