The Coordinator of Victims of the Promissory Note Mafia, led by Pedro Coronel, has warned that the scheme of alleged judicial fraud, which in recent years has affected thousands of salaried workers, is now also impacting rural communities, entrepreneurs, and small business owners, resulting in the loss of land and property. The organization states that irregular judicial processes are being used for forced evictions and property auctions without proper notification of those involved.
According to the Coordinator, which brings together some 17,000 victims, the alleged irregularities include the seizure of assets without the affected parties having a chance to defend themselves. Pedro Coronel emphasized that they are investigating new cases and have reinforced their demand for a political trial against the ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice, whom they accuse of omission in the face of the complaints.
As part of the mobilization, the group has called for a protest named "Chains of Dignity" on July 13th. The demonstration will begin in front of the Palace of Justice in Asunción, followed by a march to the Encarnación courthouse, where a collective document will be submitted with demands such as the suspension of what they consider abusive freezes and the approval of victim compensation bills.
