亚松森，10月4日电 - 在周日的市政选举中，巴拉圭执政党科罗拉多党的候选人在首都市长选举中失利，这场选举被广泛视为右翼政府在2028年大选前的期中考验。
ASUNCION, Oct 4 - The candidate for Paraguay's ruling Colorado Party lost the mayor's race in the country's capital on Sunday in municipal elections widely seen as a midterm test for the right-wing government ahead of the 2028 general election.
随着亚松森99.92%的选票统计完毕，反对派联盟“为了亚松森联盟”的索莱达德·努涅斯获得47.78%的选票，而科罗拉多党候选人卡米洛·佩雷斯获得45.98%。科罗拉多党自2019年以来一直控制着市长职位。
With 99.92% of votes counted in Asuncion, Soledad Nunez of the opposition coalition Alianza Juntos Por Asunción had 47.78% of the vote while Colorado candidate Camilo Perez won 45.98%. Colorado had controlled the mayor's seat since 2019.
在该国第二大城市东方市，反对派候选人丹尼·穆希卡以较大优势赢得市长选举。佩雷斯周日晚间告诉记者，他将等待周一的官方结果复核。
In the country's second-largest city, Ciudad del Este, opposition candidate Dani Mujica won the mayor's race by a wide margin. Perez told reporters on Sunday night that he would await an official review of the results on Monday.
努涅斯曾是2023年副总统候选人，她将接手一个背负数百万美元债务、拖欠利息支付、公共工程项目停滞以及基础设施问题的市政府。
Nunez, a 2023 candidate for vice president, inherits a municipality burdened by millions of dollars in debt obligations, missed interest payments, stalled public works projects and infrastructure problems.
在阿根廷、巴西和巴拉圭三国边境地区的重要商业枢纽东方市，“我相信”反对派运动的穆希卡获得72.83%的选票，远超科罗拉多党候选人的23.8%，所有选票已统计完毕。
In Ciudad del Este, a key commercial hub in the tri-border area with Argentina and Brazil, Mujica of the Yo Creo opposition movement won 72.83% of the vote, well ahead of the Colorado Party candidate on 23.8%, with all votes counted.
中间派人士、“我相信”运动领袖米格尔·普列托预计将在2028年竞选总统。分析人士认为，这位37岁的律师是一股崛起的政治力量，有能力发起多年来对科罗拉多党长期主导巴拉圭政治最强有力的挑战之一。
A centrist, Miguel Prieto, the head of the Yo Creo movement, is expected to seek the presidency in 2028. Analysts see the 37-year-old lawyer as a rising political force capable of mounting one of the strongest challenges in years to the Colorado Party's long dominance of Paraguayan politics.
