Sole Núñez accelerates campaign with 'door-to-door' push in every neighborhood

Opposition candidate Soledad Núñez has kicked off an intensive campaign strategy, visiting every neighborhood in Asunción under the slogan "Neighbor to neighbor, house by house." The initiative, launched on Monday, involves Núñez and her team engaging directly with residents across the city's 69 barrios.

Campaign organizers have set up tents in various areas where volunteers will listen to citizens' grievances and propose solutions. These proposals will be integrated into Núñez's municipal government platform. She aims to tackle the "chaos" she says Asunción is currently experiencing, promising to implement solutions from the mayor's office if elected on October 4.

Núñez is positioned as the main opposition contender against Camilo Pérez of the ruling Colorado Party. Pérez is reportedly backed by former president Horacio Cartes and the same team associated with the previous mayor, Oscar "Nenecho" Rodríguez, who resigned amid allegations of mismanagement and fund embezzlement. Núñez stated her intention to overcome the "machinery that maintains the backwardness and inefficiency" of the current Asunción administration.
