Peru, through presidential election, trampled between extremes of strife and strife | International | Notice

April 13, 2021 – 2:08 p.m.

The surprise general election of the Dominican Republic in Peru has, without hesitation, the radical mastermind of radical Izquierda Pedro Castillo, who has won the presidential candidacy voted by 18.6%, according to the latest case of the National Office of Prosecution Electoral (ONPE), to hold 90% of the votes cast. None of the candidates will receive the required 50% response to win the comics, which will take place on June 6th.

During the late night, the lucha for the second place will be next between the economist of law Hernando de Soto, the law populist Keiko Fujimori and the ultraconservative Rafael López Aliaga. Without embargo, with the passing of the hours, the day of the imprisoned ex-president Alberto Fujimori, he was placed in the second place, with 13.2%, beating De Soto (11.97%) and López Aliaga (11.90%) . Digits similar to those in the fast-moving content of the Ipsos surveyor, which analyzes 100% of the acts of suffrage.

Hasta has a week, the unionist Castillo does not appear in the prognostications of the experts. In addition to appearances in the polls, the March March monkeys recorded a 3% vote intention. Of these, his ascension ascends without par, above all in the center and on the lands. The result of the vote was demonstrated, one more time, the great breach that exists between the capital Lima, where a third of the Peruvians live and where the Conservatives of the right obtovieron more support, and the rest of the country, where, in its majority , Castillo ganó.

Who is Pedro Castillo?

Sondeverbod, Castillo, born in Cajamarca and 51 years old, is not exactly a outsider. In 2005 he started his political career as a member of the Cajamarca Committee of the Peruvian Possible Party. In 2017, it was announced at the national level that it would lead a maelstrom of master salaries that lasted longer than months, pending against the demands of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski’s Governor. Since then, Castillo has repaired the interior of the country’s political campaign.

Among the proposals of the leader of the Peruvian Free Party is the drafting of a new Constitution to debil the imperial elite and give the State a more dominant role in the economy of the country. In addition, it has already declared that it would like to dissolve the Constitutional Tribunal and regularize the pressure “on the good of morals and the good practices of the country”. It has also been shown to be effective in the face of abortion, homosexual matrimony and gender equality. On the other hand, he did not conceal his affiliation with the Governor of Venezuela, as a “democratic” classification.

‘It is not the first time that a candidate has this type of proposal. It is a phenomenon that we have seen since the 90s, which is the profound loss of representative capacity of the political parties. Some countries in the country have chosen ‘different’ candidates, who have expressed some distance from some positions they have seen in Lima, in a sector of the political class that some are called traditional, with a dominant economic elite. In the interior of the country, inclusive, it is important to consider the ethnic factor ”, explained DW Iván Lanegra, Professor of Political Science of the Pontifical University of Peru and Secretary General of the Civil Transparency Association.

“Between Plague and Cholera”

According to Castillo’s controversial intentions, there is no automatic point in favor of the right-wing Fujimori population, which has been insured for the second time in a row. According to the latest polls, the candidate of the popular Fuerza party was the one who has the highest return rate: around 60% of those polled never vote for her. A mochila pesada debits its political mistakes in the last five years and its investigations into corruption. Just a month ago, the Peruvian Fiscalia filed 30 years of imprisonment for embezzlement.

In the opinion of the political scientist Bettina Schorr, of the Institute of Latin American Studies in Berlin (LAI), the results of the elections are “really a disaster” for Peru: “It is now time to choose between the plague and the cholera. It seems to me that it is unbelievable that Keiko Fujimori will go to the second party, despite the accusations of corruption against him and those who have been involved in the work of the Congress and the Governor in the last years ”. In the case of Castillo, Schorr was particularly alarmed, especially by his social and economic conservatism, but ultimately it was the same as that of the other candidates for the right. “In any case, it is difficult to find the best time in Peru”, lamented the German political scientist.

However, Lanegra’s expert recalls that also in past elections the candidates had planted controversial issues, which in the second half he had to vary, because he did not increase the percentage to go to other sectors, as in 2011 a Hoja de ruta comprometiéndose a ha hacer mayores cambios si ganaba las eleccions. “Including when you go to the government to make changes, because it is not possible to carry out any of the plantings or because of the different ones, because you need to make new alliances, as well as make adjustments to your plantings,” he said.

The most dispersed Congress of history

Mientras tanto, lo que sí quedará definite en est primera vuelta es la composition de nuve Congreso, con al minos 11 bancadas. Of the 130 outposts, the Peruvian Free Party obtains 32, the Popular Force 22 and the Popular Action 21. The rest of the quarter is divided between these parties. “I must not do it and it is not positive. This is likely to be the most dispersed Congress of our history. It is a new indicator that expresses the division of results “, notes the Peruvian political scientist.

According to Lanegra, if there is any order in the maneuver of Parliament as part of the Parliament-Gobierno relationship, it is obligatory to make coalitions and formal parliamentary agreements, in which the banks decide to work together on agenda items: ” the banks its minor minorities, the Gobierno requires a minimum parliamentary coalition that guarantees guaranteed capacity for action, for example, to have a majority that avoids the president being appointed. It’s the only way out, because we’re going to rehearse what we’re doing now ”.

On the other hand, these election results in Peru have no other reason to confirm the polarizing trend that the region is living: “It is very congruent with what is happening in Latin America, where there are two poles in different parts of the country. We also live with the elections of the domingo in Ecuador or haco poco in Bolivia in Brazil. All this allows me to make very clear the polarization and also the lack of alternatives for many people in the region that are not being listened to, ”CV Schorr politician. (I)
