00:00And in Paraguay, social and political organizations march towards the capital against injustice.
00:05Correspondent Paulo Salla has the details.
00:10The opposition points out that the state government is controlled by sectors that act like mafias.
00:15Led by former President Horacio Cartes, who are taking over the institutions.
00:20It is therefore necessary to build a political alternative.
00:25Who could doubt the legitimacy?
00:27I was the senator with the most votes on the preferential list.
00:31Giving that signal was very strong for the rest.
00:34If someone has a legitimacy of 100,000 preferential votes in an independent list, which he did
00:39not have, let's say, you had to look for the list to find me, right?
00:43I didn't have a list that went with the same number as the presidential one.
00:47So if we can do this to her, we can do whatever we want with the rest.
00:55The opposition points out that the state government is controlled by sectors that
00:58act like mafias.
01:00Led by former President Horacio Cartes, who are taking over the institutions.
01:04It is therefore necessary to build a political alternative.
01:08We want to recover the right to hope.
01:11That right to hope that they want to steal from us, that they want to kidnap us, that
01:15they want to silence us, that they want to atomize us.
01:19Because we have to dream of a different country.
01:21And to dream it, we have to go step by step.
01:24There are no shortcuts here.
01:29Peasant families joined the march that began in CoquipĂ, the spiritual capital of Paraguay.
01:35They said they are protesting for public policies that respond to the needs of the people.
01:42The lack of health, the lack of education, and the lack of a policy for production, all
01:47of this has its consequences, and these consequences are suffered by the people.
01:53The people in general and above all the women.
01:57We are here on a whim.
01:59We leave our families and our production to fight.
02:03It is a four-day march to reach the capital of Paraguay, passing through the departments
02:10of Cordillera and Central.
02:12The activity is carried out thanks to the solidarity and conscientious work of the different
02:17teams, according to the organizers.
02:21This work is not very visible, but it is important to highlight it.
02:28Because there are comrades who dedicate 24 hours to different teams so that the comrades
02:32who march feel comfortable.
02:34These are teams that work in coordination.
02:41Paraguay has the fourth highest crime rate in the world, according to the Global Organized
02:46Crime Index, a situation that is reflected in its institutions.
02:50To this must be added the lack of health, education and justice, situations that the
02:55organizations will continue to protest against.
