The virtual governor of Junín does not come to these elections clean. Like Vladimir Cerrón in 2019, Cárdenas has an ongoing investigation for leading an alleged criminal organization when he was mayor of Pichanaqui. This investigation is still aired in the Public Ministry and would be little to become an accusation.

It is not the only one, 41 tax investigations weigh on him. One of the last, for the alleged crime of illegal mining, was opened in 2019 when he was the regional manager of Pasco. The other crimes for which he is being investigated are embezzlement, collusion, abuse of authority, illicit association and omission of duties. Although Cárdenas says that he only has 21 complaints.

In a final interview, the lieutenant governor of Pasco, Wilder Robles, who was closely acquainted with the work of the elected governor of Junín, did not say anything good about him: “In his career, in his field, he could be a professional, but with bad habits, we know from the different media that they have been disseminated at the local and national level,” he said.
