Paraguayan voters head to the polls today to elect its next president, Congress representatives, governors, and local authorities. The Colorado Party has ruled Paraguay for the past seven decades, with an exception between 2008 and 2013, when leftist Fernando Lugo was in power. The Herald spoke to Magdalena Lopez, the coordinator of the Social Studies on Paraguay Research Group at the University of Buenos Aires. The Concertation coalition includes 23 parties and two movements united in opposition to the Colorado Party. 13 out of 17 departments in the country are run by governors belonging to the Colorado Party.
