Construction of the storm drainage system in the San Pablo neighborhood of Asunción continues to advance slowly under Mayor Luis Bello, while residents fear new storms. The project, funded with resources from the 2022 G8 bonds, was halted due to payment delays to the contractor and the diversion of funds in the administration of former Mayor Óscar "Nenecho" Rodríguez.
Bonos G8
Bonos emitidos en 2022 para infraestructura, cuyos fondos fueron desviados por la administración de Óscar Rodríguez.
The Asunción City Hall closed a section of Presbítero Justo Román Street for 45 days for storm drainage works in the Santo Domingo basin. The measure further isolates the Manorá and Santo Domingo neighborhoods, which already suffer from traffic collapse. The work, promised by former mayor Óscar Rodríguez with funds from G8 bonds, is delayed and marked by allegations of fund diversion.
