The Coordinator of Victims of the Promissory Note Mafia, led by Pedro Coronel, warned that the alleged judicial fraud scheme, which has affected thousands of salaried workers in recent years, may now also be affecting rural communities, entrepreneurs and small business owners through the loss of land and property. The organization says allegedly irregular court proceedings have led to property auctions and eviction orders without proper notification of those involved.
According to the Coordinator, which brings together about 17,000 victims, the alleged irregularities include the seizure of assets without giving those affected a chance to defend themselves. Pedro Coronel said the organization is investigating cases involving affected people and reiterated its call for an impeachment proceeding against the ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice, whom the group accuses of failing to respond to the complaints.
As part of the mobilization, the group has called for a protest named "Chains of Dignity" on July 13. The demonstration will begin in front of the Palace of Justice in Asunción, followed by a march to the Juzgado de la Encarnación to submit a collective petition. Its demands include lifting freezes considered abusive and approving bills on compensation for victims.
