Last Sunday, December 18, the elections of the opposition, or Concertación, were held with an open electoral roll. It was an unprecedented event in the Paraguayan democratic history since any voter, regardless of his affiliation, could vote for the different formulas for the Executive power. A couple of hours after the closing of the election, the ample triumph of the Efrain Alegre and Soledad Nuñez formula was confirmed. A tireless agenda added to a series of crucial events consolidated Alegre’s validity and led him to position himself, for the third time, as the main opposition presidential candidate.
