Cartismo

Presidential pre-candidate Arnoldo Wiens, from the Colorado Añetete movement, attacked sectors of cartismo during a rally in Villarrica, accusing them of remaining "bolted to power" and using public office for personal gain. He also questioned the government's economic management and recalled the narrative of the "true colorados," amid the internal dispute of the ANR.

Arnaldo Aveiro Solís, brother of Senator Guadalupe Aveiro (ANR), was appointed to Itaipu Binacional in April 2026, receiving a monthly salary of G. 21 million, despite not having a university degree. Previously, he worked as a receptionist in the Chamber of Deputies, where he already earned G. 16.35 million. The appointment occurred one month after the senator took office, replacing the convicted Erico Galeano.
