What is your balance of the first month of José Jerí’s government?
I am surprised by some surveys that have put him on the altars. It seems too much to me. But Dina Boluarte left the fence so low… A president gets up at 5 am, takes a helicopter and lands in a police station, a school or a hospital unexpectedly. That’s what Jerí lacks: falling without warning.
Has the president copied you? He is a communicator, has the makings of an actor and is an imitator of Bukele.
Now everyone is Bukele imitators. In politics you have to have an angel and charisma. Politicians are inhuman. And humor humanizes them. Jerí must fight crime. Let him capture Cerrón. Where is Vladimir Cerrón? Or is it because the little brother is on the Board of Directors calling Betssy Chávez’s lawyer “comrade”?
Should President Jerí break with Congress?
Yes, because they are scoundrels. Congress requests almost S/400 million more in budget. Mr. Jerí, roll up your shirt, put on your pants and don’t sign the increase that Congress wants. Or is he returning the favors? It is a mother’s mention to the dignity of Peruvians.
What harmful laws does Congress leave?
I would repeal laws that protect crime to protect politicians. The extension of domain, the presence of the prosecutor… It would bring down party financing. I don’t have to keep lazy and conchudos. Everyone knows that this money is not for training cadres. That money goes into salaries. It would cancel the schooling bonus for grandparents and the installation bonus for those from Lima. I would bring down the commissions and subcommittees that are useless, such as Ethics. It’s a mockery. Why do we have 27 advisors for each congressman? They are stupid. It is a terrible indolence. It would bring down the bicameral system and re-election. Nor would he allow a former congressman to be an advisor, because he teaches the new one the ropes.
The Senate is not going to like that on his list.
Well, but I am on the side of the people and what the Peruvians voted for. The people are the sovereign. Peruvian criminals allied with foreign criminals are traitors to the country. And those who defend the human rights of criminals too. I dream of creating an international GEIN. The ‘Monster’ is in Paraguay, politicians take refuge in embassies. Nadine leaves, Lila leaves, Betssy leaves, suddenly Vizcarra leaves. Everyone does what they want. Everyone tramples on Peru. Peru has to be respected. Nobody has a crown for me.
José Kast gives ultimatums to irregular migrants from the border with Peru.
I disagree with the Chilean candidate José Kast, because he believes that Peru is his immigration backyard. No, sir, we are not the place where you are going to send the Venezuelans. Solve problems at home. I’d kick foreign criminals in the butt. I give foreign criminals 24 hours to leave Peru. And I go out to hunt them, because those hitmen are animals. Peru is kidnapped and we have to go to its rescue.
They say he is not a politician. Is it a compliment?
Better. I have not been responsible for all the garbage politics they have done in Peru. It is not a lack of titles, but shame. I don’t have a university degree, but I have a degree that cannot be bought. I have walked the country for 42 years. I know your misery and your anger. I have not been through a university classroom, but I have learned what I know by visiting markets, prisons, hospitals and the most forgotten towns in the country.
Wouldn’t it have been better to go to CADE?
That would be polarizing. I have nothing against big businessmen. But the little ones must be listened to. Fifteen businessmen called me for not going to CADE to tell me: “I congratulate you, Carlos, you are right.” Then, I did my popular CADE with microentrepreneurs in Lurigancho, Chosica. It was called “Listening to the ‘Unheard’”.
“WHAT HE GETS TIRED (KEIKO)”
How is your team doing? I understand that you have spoken with Luis Miguel Castilla and Luis Carranza.
I am with Dr. Julia Príncipe, with Juan Sheput, with Dr. Carlos Torres Caro and Colonel Luis Yataco. It is a large and committed team. And we have our doors open to youth.
Is there talk of Marianella Ledesma?
I would have liked it, it is in talks. I don’t know if he’s ruled it out yet. There are honest people here who want to clean up politics. It’s not about left or right. And on the board there is an economist from Cusco, Diego Guevara Vivanco, and a Cajamarcan woman, María Cristina Chambizea. She is a hard-working and trustworthy woman. Lately the vice presidents rule.
Its first vice president is technical secretary of Remurpe (Network of Urban and Rural Municipalities of Peru), an organization close to Pedro Castillo.
Well, everyone has had some connection and umbilical cord with the left, but as long as things are clear and the candidate’s guidelines are on the table, those things are put aside.
How much of the fee belongs to Vladimir Meza?
Quota sounds like a distribution. According to law, there are 20% guests. The other 80% needs to be filtered. The population should not re-elect anyone from the current Congress.
He was criticized for Petroperú.
My adversaries and their employees have attacked me a lot. I’m talking about restructuring and cleaning Petroperú, not about financed bailouts. And that the directory is private, technical and autonomous.
He made friends with his brother.
On my side there was never any harshness. I’m happy. His birthday was November 19. I love him very much. I don’t talk much about my family life. I have four nephews.
Is he a godfather? I heard you have children.
I have seven loving children. Years ago I did a singing competition throughout Peru. And well, they are young now. Two have already made me a grandfather. It’s not the contact it used to be, but there is always great communication. When I had COVID-19 they called me every hour. I adore them, I love them very much. Josué, Stephano, Eddy, Esmeralda, Grecia, Josselyn and María are always in my heart.
It is not necessary to adopt to give advice and affection.
They are adopted into my heart, which is more valuable and important. I speak to them with great affection, I tell them to live their lives without neglecting their projects. Before buying a car, a property. Josselyn asked me: “What do you advise me, dad?” I told her: “Daughter, I would have bought the chicken shop sooner.” And he sold the car and bought her.
Keiko Fujimori? Rafael López Aliaga? Philip Butters? Lopez Chau? Acuña?
Since he gets tired. It is your right… Don’t let the train pass you by. Don’t deny so much… Communicator… Don’t say ‘bye’ to the people… Living meme.
