PARAGUAY: Cartes puts re-election cards on the table
President Horacio Cartes has finally revealed his intentions to introduce presidential re-election in Paraguay’s national constitution so that he may benefit from it in the 2018 general elections. After months of playing coy about his intentions, Cartes has said that he and the ruling Asociación Nacional Republicana-Partido Colorado (ANR-PC) will formally seek to accomplish this via the drafting of a new constitution. Whether this plan will be successful or lead to an irreparable split within the ANR-PC is unclear.
