OAS to Observe Municipal Elections of November 15 in Paraguay
November 5, 2015
The Organization of American States (OAS) will deploy an Electoral Observation Mission (EOM) for the municipal elections of November 15 in Paraguay, according to the agreement signed today between the Organization and the South American country.
The OAS Secretary General, Luis Almagro, underscored the contribution of the Organization’s election observation missions to the Hemisphere’s democratic systems and recalled that this year the Organization has sent 13 missions to various countries of the region.
“This is part of the Organization’s ongoing effort to strengthen democratic processes in the region. Since 1991, the OAS has deployed 12 electoral observation missions in Paraguay,” indicated Secretary General Almagro.
The Permanent Representative of Paraguay to the OAS, Elisa Ruiz, reaffirmed the confidence that the people and Government of Paraguay have in the role the Organization will play during the municipal elections. “For us, the OAS is some sort of a “Papaguazú,” which in Guarani means “great father,” because in him we always trust, and once again, we thank the OAS and donor countries for this mission,” asserted the Paraguayan diplomat alluding to Argentina, the United States, and Peru—OAS member states—and to Israel and Serbia—OAS observer states.
The Chief of Mission is the former OAS Chief of Staff, Ambassador Hugo de Zela, who will lead a team of 25 experts from 15 different nationalities. Present at the signing ceremony, held at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C., were representatives of the United States, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela.
