Marta Schaerer

Marta Schaerer is a notable activist in Asunción, Paraguay, who has been vocal in her demands for accountability regarding promised infrastructural developments at the Jardín Botánico. Recently, she gained attention for publicly confronting the city's mayor, Óscar 'Nenecho' Rodríguez, during a public event, demanding updates on delayed projects from 2017. Following her protest, she received a controversial official notice from the municipality, which she interpreted as an act of intimidation for asserting her rights as a citizen. The act was later annulled, highlighting ongoing tensions between citizens and local government.
