ASUNCION – Paraguayan political parties and civil society organizations met Wednesday to begin a series of discussions planned by the government regarding the establishment of a possible electoral reform.
The left-leaning Guasu Front, which allied itself with the Liberal Party in last April’s general election, insisted on the need to carry out a structural electoral reform that includes the resignation or impeachment of the members of the country’s Superior Court of Electoral Justice (TSJE).
During his opening speech, Villamayor said that the government’s role is to encourage a “debate of ideas” and listen to proposals from the different parties, while inviting delegates to form working tables on specific issues to make progress ahead of the next meeting, set for October.
