Paraguay's main opposition presidential candidate Efraín Alegre will favor "austerity" to cut public sector spending over raising taxes on the country's farmers if he wins the country's April 30 election, he told Reuters in an interview.
Alegre, who leads the center-left Concertación Nacional coalition, is seen neck-and-neck in opinion polls with ruling party candidate Santiago Peña, who is looking to extend the conservative Colorado Party's political dominance.
