She confirmed this from her social media after flirting with the possibility a long time ago. He has already made known his main proposals.
Chilavert, who was local, American and intercontinental champion with Vélez, and is an icon of the Guarani team, became a businessman as soon as he left professional football and now he threw himself into politics.
“After reflection and feel the responsibility to build a better ParaguayI decide to formalize my candidacy for the presidency so that our people can once again feel proud to be Paraguayan, “wrote Chilavert confirming his candidacy.

The Chilavert Project, as published on the site that postulates it for the 2023 elections, aims at “a definitive transformation of the axes of corruption and technological innovation”.
The relationship with Javier Milei
Chilavert’s political point of reference in Argentina has long been Liberal MP Javier Milei, who also aspires to run for president next year.
The relationship between the two has been going on for some time. In 2021 there was more than one meeting in which we talked about politics and economics and weeks ago they shared a dinner in Paraguay.
