POLITICS: The senate challenges Cartes
Paraguay’s senate has thrown down the gauntlet to President Horacio Cartes. By selecting magistrate Linneo Ynsfrán as the candidate to fill a vacant seat on the supreme court (CSJ), the senate has directly challenged President Cartes’s political leadership and that of his allies within the ruling Asociación Nacional Republicana-Partido Colorado (ANR-PC). Cartes must now decide whether to accept the nomination. If he doesn’t and decides to veto the senate, he risks charging headlong into an institutional clash that could weaken his administration and further exacerbate the divisions within the ANR-PC.
