Senator Luis Pettengill, a member of the dissident faction of the National Republican Association (ANR), stated that Paraguay has an historic debt to institutional transparency. In a recent interview, Pettengill analyzed the country's political situation and highlighted the need to strengthen oversight mechanisms as a way to restore public trust in institutions.
The lawmaker, who previously accused former minister Carlos María Ljubetic of lying about election audits, again called for a more effective fight against corruption. For Pettengill, the political landscape taking shape for 2028 requires concrete measures of openness and accountability, on pain of deepening public discredit.
The statements come amid debates over governance and the integrity of public bodies in Paraguay, with the Colorado Party dissidence pushing for internal reforms within the party and the state.
