The right-wing Colorado Party of Paraguay has won the Presidency and secured both chambers of the national legislature in the country’s recent elections.
QUICK FACTS:
- Paraguay’s right-wing political party has defeated the Klaus Schwab and World Economic Forum-backed (WEF) Authentic Radical Liberal Party (PLRA) in the country’s recent presidential elections.
- With more than 99% of the vote counted, Colorado Party’s candidate Santiago Pena gained the support of 1.2 million Paraguayans, securing a 42% plurality of the votes.
- “PARAGUAY HAS TRIUMPHED, JESUS HAS TRIUMPHED!!!!,” Paraguayan conservative Jose Ocampos wrote in a post on Twitter. “The SOVEREIGN HAS SPOKEN, the discussion is over.”
- Pena defeated PLRA’s liberal candidate Efrain Alegre, who was supported by the WEF, a globalist network of world government leaders and business executives, and Democrats in the U.S.
- The newly elected president also pledged to maintain ties with Taiwan, as Paraguay is one of the few nations that still recognizes Taiwanese sovereignty.
- According to Paraguayan law, there will be no runoffs, and Pena will replace the current leader, Mario Abdo Benítez, on August 15.
NEWLY ELECTED PARAGUAYAN PRESIDENT SANTIAGO PENA ON DEFEATING HIS LEFT-WING OPPONENT:
“From tomorrow we will begin to design the Paraguay that we all want, without gross inequalities or unjust social asymmetries. We have a lot to do,” Pena said.
BACKGROUND:
- Earlier this month, Schwab openly supported the Paraguayan left-wing ticket with one of the WEF’s hand-picked “Young Global Leaders” Efrain Alegre.
- Around the same time, news broke that a team of Brazilian hackers tied to the nation’s openly communist President was reportedly planning to hack the nation’s electronic election in favor of Alegre.
- “Of course, we would be delighted if a YGL (Young Global Leader) would come out as a winner of the election,” Schwab wrote in an email, adding that he’d also copied Marisol Argueta to the message chain, “who is our head of Regional Agenda for Latin America, to follow up,” he said.
