Sole Núñez: 'The Same Old People Won't Solve Asunción's Problems'

Asunción mayoral candidate Sole Núñez has accused the ruling party of disseminating fraudulent polls, alleging the intention is to demobilize voters and create a false sense of inevitability. Núñez, running under the Unidos por Asunción alliance, stated that her campaign's internal research indicates a lead, contrasting with official narratives.

“

For us, the best poll is the one on the street.

"For us, the best poll is the one on the street," Núñez declared during a campaign event, referencing her own data which she believes aligns with a recent Voz Data poll showing her ahead. She urged citizens to vote on October 4th for a "change of course" to address the city's decline under current and past administrations. Núñez contends that the incumbent leadership has "destroyed the city" and that returning to the same figures will not yield the necessary solutions.

Stephan Rasmussen, Núñez's campaign chief and a former senator, echoed this sentiment. He asserted that Núñez's support is growing daily, while the popularity of her opponent, Camilo Pérez, has stagnated since the primary elections. Rasmussen framed the election as a clear choice for voters: continue with the existing model or opt for a fundamental shift in governance.

“

Asunción has solution, and really it is in our hands on October 4th to be able to make a change of course.

Núñez's platform promises to tackle issues such as waste management, chaotic traffic, insecurity, and deteriorating infrastructure. Her campaign emphasizes a vision for Asunción that goes beyond superficial fixes, aiming for a complete transformation of municipal management and the construction of a viable future for the capital city. The campaign is actively engaging with residents through door-to-door outreach, presenting concrete proposals to inspire change.

the same old people are not going to bring us the solutions for Asunción.
