Colorados on Parade!
April 20th, 2008 WeylinThree nights before the Paraguayan presidential elections we bore witness to this parade of cars, horns, flags, fireworks, and loudspeakers in support of Blanca Ovelar and the Colorado party. This video is about 6 minutes out of the 30-45 minute stream of cars going past our house and through all of Luque! Paraguay seems to be very fired up about the elections. We have seen government (Colorado) workers taking down campaign signs of other parties. There are rumors about the Colorados fixing the vote in favor of Blanca. (There are many rumors here so it is difficult to know what is really happening) On election day, April 20th, I (Weylin) will go with our friend Gladys to the voting station and hopefully get some good pics to share with all of you!– Hopefully not of anything too exciting.
The video is nothing fancy, just a parade of cars and noise, but it gives you a taste of how things are right now. Legal Disclaimer: we do not support any political party in this race.
