Cartista Event Fizzles Amidst Criticism and Empty Seats

A recent event intended to present candidacies for the October municipal elections under the "Horror Colorado" banner reportedly fell flat. The organizers' plan to secure public endorsements from figures like Marito, Wiens, and "Toro" failed, as they did not appear to "kneel and kiss the ring" or participate in the traditional "republican embrace."

The event was further marred by numerous empty seats and a noticeable lack of fervor among attendees, who seemed "herded." Adding to the low spirits, Wiens delivered a strong criticism, announcing his absence because he refuses to associate with individuals accused of corruption or those who persecute dissenting voices. His stance reportedly earned him points with local leaders and council members who experience daily boycotts, threats, and marginalization.

Wiens also highlighted his own indictment in the "metrobús" case, contrasting it with the acquittal of the former Public Works Minister who championed the project. The article laments, "And that's how we are in Paraguay."

The piece then shifts to criticize President "Pinocho" Peña's administration. It notes the lack of any government statement regarding accusations by Brazilian President Lula da Silva, who allegedly accused Paraguay of invading Brazil and plans to increase arms purchases. The author contrasts Peña's strong reaction to a sports matter involving Mbappé and Celeste with his silence on Lula's comments, quoting a saying about not "wasting gunpowder on magpies."

Further criticism is leveled at the Ministry of Education (MEC) for protecting a Colorado council member with a suspected fake university degree, while simultaneously discovering officials involved in a "mafia." The article also questions the effectiveness of the current Health Minister, suggesting that despite focusing on building construction, essential medicines are lacking in public health facilities. The author concludes that President Peña's government appears irredeemable.
