Volunteer firefighters and the Asunción city government inspected fire hydrants at Mercado 4 and confirmed the water system is operational. However, the administration acknowledged that the fire-fighting infrastructure of the new building, funded by Itaipu, is unfinished and that the market suffers from decades of neglect.
Rodríguez de Francia
Avenida en Asunción que continúa a Ygatimí, con pavimento deteriorado.
The asphalt repair on Avenida Rodríguez de Francia at Mercado 4 lasted less than seven months. The road has again developed potholes and standing wastewater, exposing the failure of Mayor Luis Bello's (ANR-HC) administration, which continues the neglect model of his predecessor. Despite collecting US$18.2 million in 2025 for street maintenance, the capital's road infrastructure remains in ruins.
Asunción's microcenter faces a road crisis with destroyed manholes, disintegrated asphalt, and stagnant water, while the city hall spent US$ 18.2 million on pothole patching in 2025 with no visible results. The administration of Mayor Luis Bello (ANR-HC) is criticized for inheriting the model of predecessor Óscar “Nenecho” Rodríguez, who diverted G. 512 billion from bonds to current expenses.
