Cartismo (Paraguay)

Cartismo is a political movement in Paraguay within the Colorado Party led by Horacio Cartes, businessman and former president of Paraguay (2013–2018). Although Cartes consolidated his political leadership during his presidential term, his true influence within the party and in Paraguayan politics began to manifest and intensify after leaving the presidency. Through his economic power and strategic alliances, he managed to establish a control structure within the Colorado Party, influencing the selection of candidates and the direction of party policies.

Cartismo has been the subject of debate, both for its impact on the stability of the party and for the criticism it receives regarding the concentration of power and its relationship with business sectors. While its followers consider it a model of pragmatic and effective leadership, its detractors accuse it of having weakened Paraguayan democracy through control of institutions and financing of its network of political influence.
