Paraguay is on the way to its eighth presidential election since the fall of General Stroessner’s dictatorship. Of the seven previous elections, the Colorado Party triumphed in six. If we observe the course of both coloradismo and the opposition, we see that the dynamics changed. In some cases the ANR presented itself with a cohesive republican embrace, and in other cases with internal crises. The same for the opposition, where in some elections there was a greater unification, while in others there was a certain fragmentation. The purpose of this article is to emphasize the different ways in which both the ruling party and the opposition articulated themselves, in order to be in tune with the current situation and to speculate on possible scenarios.
