Miguel Olmedo Leites

Miguel Olmedo Leites served as the Vice Minister of Comprehensive Health in Paraguay until his dismissal by President Santiago Peña in April 2024. Following his removal, he was appointed by acting President Pedro Alliana to the Board of Directors of the Yacyretá Binational Entity. His tenure as Vice Minister was marked by controversy, particularly after a video surfaced in which he acknowledged the influence of the Colorado Party in obtaining his position, leading to public criticism and calls for intervention from party leaders. His recent appointment reflects ongoing political dynamics within Paraguay's ruling party.
