One. The best definition of ‘caviar’ It was given by former Charter Mauricio Mulder. “The caviars are the black sheep of rich families,” said the aprista, explaining the genesis of a term that Peruvian politics has marked even before it is used. Protocaviares were Ricardo Letts, Javier Heraud, Susana Villarán, Javier Diez Canseco and a long etcetera, to a greater or lesser extent. Before, they broke with their rich families. Today, leaving the Pituca house does not seem to be a requirement.
Two. When caviar defines it. A Creole guilt, local variant of the White Guiltdue to some bad fortune, ancestor slave or simple skin color. And the fault is inherited. A classic example is ‘Zavalita’, ashamed of the original sin of his rich and odriista father. The most absurd example was the vote for Pedro Castillo. The racist infantilization of the good savage is summarized in the phrase of its walls: “Castillo can be a criminal, but it is not moral incapable.” An unimputable without agency.
Three. The caviar is believed antifujorist, but he is the son of Fujimorism. It is a new middle class product of the economic growth of the 90s, of the father who lost his work, put his own business and sent his son to study Spain, where he returned to the releasing. Intellectual parricide is understandable. But their differences are not ideological, but chronological.
Four. The caviar is aspirational. It is a variant of the GCU or the “good people” that previously voted for the PPC and today for the purple match. Its agenda has postmaterial demands that imply a generous economic condition, whether real or imposed. The caviar is not offended by being caviar. The jurel dies to be caviar.
