On the eve of the 2023 general election, Cubas with his party participated in the creation of the Concertación coalition,[2] but soon left it before the election of a single opposition candidate, deciding to participate in the elections independently.[3] In the 2023 elections, Paraguayo Cubas is considered an outsider or spoiler candidate for the Concertación. However, he has support among the anti-systemic electorate, advocating the death penalty for corruption.[1][4]
