PARAGUAY: A new dawn?
As he prepares to take over the reins of power, President-Elect Horacio Cartes has signalled that he is not a traditional Asociación Nacional Republicana-Partido Colorado (ANR-PC, Colorados) politician and that he will try to practice consensus politics instead of merely relying on the support of the Colorados to govern. Given that the ANR-PC secured majorities in both chambers of congress in the April general election [RBS-13-04], Cartes’s decision to establish a working relationship with the political opposition might at first glance seem odd. But upon closer inspection it becomes clear that doing so may be a necessity for the incoming government.
