Senabico will hold an auction of assets seized from drug trafficking next Thursday

The Assunção City Hall is facing a financial crisis after the embezzlement of 500 billion guaranis intended for stormwater drainage projects, which led to duplicate payments and investigations into the management of the funds.

Under the motto 'Let's Clean Our Costanera', the Taiwan Embassy and the Asunción City Hall organized a large cleanup drive along the Paraguayan capital's waterfront. The action, which involved volunteers and local entities, highlighted the severe pollution of the Mburicaó, Antequera, and Las Mercedes creeks, which dump tons of garbage and sewage into Asunción Bay. Experts point out that without basic sanitation and enforcement, such drives are merely palliative.
