The union of Ministry of Education and Sciences employees requested suspension of the move to the new headquarters in Puerto de Asunción due to a series of structural problems, including lack of water, leaks, cockroach infestation, and poor access conditions.

Asunción Mayor Luis Bello received representatives of the volunteer fire departments and agreed to set up a weekly technical panel to regularize overdue construction-tax payments that have accumulated to more than G$ 10 billion since 2020. The debt threatens station operations and triggered a crisis alert.

The Paraguayan Volunteer Fire Department (CBVP) demands urgent payment of over G. 10 billion withheld by the Municipality of Asunción since 2020. Mayor Luis Bello called a meeting, but volunteers request a concrete payment schedule to avoid operational collapse.

Paraguay’s Chamber of Deputies has passed a law requiring the judicial deposit of original credit instruments, such as promissory notes and checks, during enforcement proceedings. The measure aims to increase transparency and security in debt collection processes, allowing the creditor to keep the document as a judicial depositary, subject to criminal liability for non-compliance. The bill now goes to the Executive Branch for enactment.

Paraguay's volunteer firefighter corps (CBVP, known as yellows) and Asunción's corps (CBVA, blues) denounced that the capital's city hall has accumulated a debt exceeding G. 10 billion related to the transfer of 3.5% of the construction tax, as established by Municipal Ordinance No. 186/12. After the public protest, Mayor Luis Bello received representatives and set up a working group to regularize payments.

The Director of Information and Communication Technologies of the TSJE, Fausto von Streber, explained in an interview that the voting machines are 'unhackable' due to mechanisms such as RFID chip, Faraday cage, and jammer, which prevent external interference.
