Mayor in his splendor – I
Lopez Aliaga is confused
The mayor of Lima, Rafael López Aliaga, wearing the colours of his political group, Renovación Popular, with clear political intentions for 2026, gave an interview to a radio station in Huánuco, in which he said that Canta Callao Avenue, if well paved, “reaches directly” to that region in four hours. Mmm, are you sure, Mr. Mayor? Isn’t it like the story of Lima, a world power?
Mayor clings to yesterday
Request for minutes of 2021
At a public event, López Aliaga also loudly demanded that the National Elections Jury (JNE) deliver the minutes of the first round of the 2021 presidential elections, in which Keiko Fujimori lost to Pedro Castillo. “It is not normal that we do not have the minutes of the first round; that is very similar to Venezuela, where there is a dictatorship. I say to the JNE from here: deliver the minutes of the first round, do not be so bold,” he demanded.
Alva denies link
Disassociates himself from ‘Chibolín’
As she announced in a report published yesterday in Perú21, Congresswoman María del Carmen Alva made a post on X disclaiming any link with Andrés Hurtado, ‘Chibolín’. “I clarify that I have never given money or anything in exchange to Andrés Hurtado to appear on his program. I was invited as a candidate and president of Congress. If I had observed something irregular, I would have reported it,” she wrote. It is time for clarifications in view of the imminent effective collaboration of the former comedian.
Son of a congressman in action
In the name of the father
The news program Panorama warned that José Arriola Moreno, son of Congressman José Arriola Tueros (ex-AP and now Podemos), works in his father’s office and attends meetings in State institutions on behalf of Congress. In images, it was shown that he enters daily the parliamentary building on block three of Jirón Huallaga, where his father’s office is located. Asked by the program, the legislator – who has been accused of ‘mochasueldo’ – said that his son accompanies him everywhere as a precaution, since he has suffered two heart attacks. Arriola Moreno himself responded via WhatsApp to the Sunday newspaper denying any contractual relationship and confirming his father’s deteriorating health.
Rolex Speech
Shadow over the ‘chest’
Commenting on the statements of presidential spokesman Fredy Hinojosa, who denied yesterday that the “cofre,” the car of President Dina Boluarte, was used to facilitate Vladimir Cerrón’s escape, former minister Carlos Basombrío said that these excuses are becoming more and more similar to those offered at the time regarding the origin of the Rolex watches. “To lie and eat fish, you have to be very careful,” he tweeted.
