LEE EL COMUNICADO EN ESPAÑOL

From the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY) we note with concern the accusations of fraud in the electoral process of Paraguay, denounced by the opposition forces.

The legitimacy of the electoral process is vital for the proper functioning of democracy, and the publicly made allegations showed that various irregularities may have been made by members of the right wing National Republican Association and by members of the Superior Court of Electoral Justice (TSJE) .

We call the electoral authorities of Paraguay to respect the popular will, and count the votes of all citizens properly.

NO TO FRAUD IN PARAGUAY! FOR DEMOCRACY!
