Camilo Pérez, the candidate for Mayor of Asunción for the Colorado Party's List 1, presented his vision for the Paraguayan capital during a meeting with the Paraguayan-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The event, held as a working breakfast, brought together business leaders, micro-entrepreneurs, professionals, and academics.
Pérez, who also chairs the Paraguayan Olympic Committee (COP), stated that the main challenges facing Asunción are not limited to infrastructure problems but involve the need for a cultural shift in how the city is managed. "Asunción needs a manager, more than anything else, and management is everything," he declared.
He advocated for restoring the institutional role of planning, coordinating, and executing solutions, placing the citizen at the center of municipal management. His principles include transparency, efficient use of resources, coordination between institutions, and defining responsible parties and indicators for each project.
During the event, Pérez presented a portfolio of nine strategic projects to drive the capital's transformation, although he did not provide specific details. Following his presentation, there was a dialogue session where participants asked questions about the proposals and exchanged ideas about the city's challenges.
This activity is part of a series of meetings the candidate has been holding with different sectors of civil society to enrich his government proposal through dialogue and consensus-building, ahead of the municipal elections in October.
