The campaign is heating up and several candidates have already dared to get into the ring to throw their first punches. The investigated José Luna Gálvez, presidential candidate of Podemos Peru, attacked Alfonso López Chau, the candidate of Ahora Nación, whom he recommended to continue with his academic activities and indicated that he had no “preparation” to administer the country.
“(López Chau) is a good academic, a great academic and he must continue in what he knows, what he knows is academia, let him continue at UNI, that is what he has been prepared for. He has no preparation, he has not managed a store, nor a sandwich cart, so how is he going to want to manage a country that is more complex,” said Luna Gálvez in a video published on her Tik Tok account.
In the publication, the congressman from the populist Podemos party did not skimp on minimizing López Chau’s candidacy, indicating that “administering a university is much simpler than administering a country with all its problems, all its variance and its sectors.”
Investigated for alleged irregularities in the registration of his political group – a complaint for which the Prosecutor’s Office requests that he be sentenced to prison for 22 years and eight months, and which the candidate seeks to annul – and for alleged illegal contributions from the companies Odebrecht and OAS in the financing of his campaigns, Luna boasted in the video of having “analyzed 25 years of the national problem, public management, with corruption and all its problems.”
NOW THE NATION RESPONDS
The response from Ahora Nación was immediate. Carlo Magno Salcedo, National Secretary of Doctrine and Political Training of that group, defended the career and experience of his presidential candidate, recalling that López Chau served for eight years as director of the Central Reserve Bank (BCR), the entity responsible for guaranteeing the economic stability of the country.
He also highlighted the work of the Ahora Nación candidate as rector of the National University of Engineering (UNI), and that during his administration “the foundations were laid for the national production of green hydrogen, a fundamental element for the future energy transformation of Peru.”
“On the contrary, Mr. Pepe Luna’s background is widely known, so it is not necessary to elaborate on it,” he thus summarized Peru21 the also candidate for deputy for Lima with number 3 for that party, about the criticism of the investigated Podemos candidate.
FIRST ROUND
Last Sunday, César Acuña, the candidate of Alianza Para el Progreso (APP), attacked his rival from Renovación Popular, Rafael López Aliaga. In a meeting with his supporters, the regional governor of La Libertad promised that he will do everything possible so that “the worst mayor of Lima” is not president.
“We are not going to allow the worst mayor of Lima to be president. If he has not been able to handle Lima, how will he be able to handle Peru. In politics you have to have a vocation for service and execute the public budget to the maximum for the good of the population, and the former mayor of Lima has not fulfilled that,” said the owner of the César Vallejo University, questioned for his little action against crime in his region.
