Carlos Alberto Filizzola Pallarés (born 24 July 1959) is a Paraguayan physician, labor unionist and politician who served as mayor of Asunción from 1991 to 1996, being the first one to be democratically elected.^[3] He later served four terms as senator, from 2003 to 2011 and again from 2012 to 2023, having been appointed Minister of the Interior in the meantime, under the presidency of Fernando Lugo.^[3]^[2]^[4] He was also the President of the Senate from 2005 to 2006 and the running mate of Domingo Laíno in the 1998 presidential election.^[5]^[3]

Born into a wealthy family with links to Alfredo Stroessner, Filizzola came to oppose the dictatorship, first as a student leader and later through unions, organizing protests such as the Clinicazo of 1986.

A self-described socialist, Filizzola was one of the main faces of the Paraguayan left during his political career.^[6]^[7] He was president of the National Encounter Party from 1996 to 1999, a big tent party where he had his own leftist faction.^[3] In 2000 that faction broke off, founding Filizzola's very own Party for a Country of Solidarity.^[3]
