The 1990 campaign was the most literary; the one that marked the current scenario.
The most literary and the one that moved the most people. The country is now demobilized, unlike the one I lived. An alignment of the stars favored the emergence of freedom. Now no personality is able to convene with a minimum of acceptance and charisma.
Leaders are missing. Will they appear? After the Fredem, nobody wants to launch in advance or make alliances.
Leaders are missing. It is difficult to ask for charisma to a leader in a country where everyone ends in jail. First, we must form citizens and then form leaders. There should be party concerns beyond false firms.
Don’t you like any candidate?
I don’t like any. The landscape one year after the elections does not convince me at all. What dominates in Peru today? Neither the right nor the left. The mediocre dominate. It is a ‘mediocracy’. It is no accident. Our democracy has been very mistreated. From the military government, political parties were mistreated. Representative democracy was discredited.
Hugo Chávez learned from Velasco. AND Pedro Castillo Search for a constituent with few parties and many native peoples and social movements.
They tried to replace the parties with direct democracy, social democracy, participatory democracy or full participation … Those surnames are always suspicious, because they seek to disappear the noun. The military government wanted to replace the citizen. The fatal arrogance of which Hayek spoke.
The constitutional reform of Paniagua concluded that a constituent assembly was authoritative.
A reform was made and there it was. That is the risk when talking about the Constituent Congress, an antidemocratic figure. The military government also leaves as inheritance the preferential vote, which is the slow death of the parties. It is provoking an implosion. And bring transfugism. Another problem is decentralization. They were going to be four or five macro -regions. But the worst decision was to take advantage of a transitory measure for regionalization while the large regions were constituted. There is nothing more permanent in Peru than transitory.

Preventive prisons, provisional judges, interim prosecutors, the reinfined …
The life and the provisional work backwards. Bolivar’s life constitution lasted two months. Instead, the Provisional Statute of the Republic took several years. And now how to get off that tiger? It is a lost chapter.
The 90s campaign defined today’s scenario: the outsider, informality, polarization, anti -dot, racism. Before he voted for the best. From Fujimori, we vote for “a president like you.” And with Castillo we vote for the worst.
He candidate the best of each political party. All were absolutely respectable figures. At that time the political exercise was respected. The discredit to Congress was induced from the presidency. There was talk of “partyocracy.” Now everyone ends in Barbadillo. The elections are an anti vote. Hence the success of anti -system. That is perverting the vote.
You were in charge of the Government Plan. Today, plagan plans are not read or not implemented. They lost to tell the truth.
They are not made, plagiarized and not read. It is true that we lost to tell the truth.
Unicamerality was a abuse of Fujimori. And above the congress increased.
It was a mistreatment. One of the greatest nonsense. A unicameral congress is a dictatorship disguised. When I was a senator, the salary was US $ 2,000. We had five people: senior advisor, junior advisor, secretary, driver and security.
What do you think about the new Senate?
One thing is what is designed on paper and another is reality. We have a perverse electoral law. An electoral system impregnated with corruption, devoid of control mechanisms. The concept does not seem bad, but I don’t like two types of senators.
Like Fujimori, many presidential candidates will go to Senate just in case.
Yes. With the party dispersion that, as long as a minimum limit is maintained to access the Congress and form bench … If we can regulate it well, the danger decreases. But the Unicameral Congress is a perversion. It ends by denaturing Congress.
“We are selfless”
The university is a political tool.
I have had to be first academic, then political and finally returned to the academy. For me it is very clear that if one is in politics it cannot be in college. I have tried to establish a Chinese wall. I do not like anything that in Congress are the owners of private universities. It does not seem appropriate or correct.
What is the greatest threat to 2026?
The greatest eight -month threat of the elections is demobilization. Politics is defined by active presence or passive absence. And if most people have a passive absence, we are going wrong.
As absenteeism in pandemic. More than being polarized, we are selfless.
There is a generalized molicie. We are selfless because we have been victims of a systematic abuse of the democratic system and electoral legislation. Citizens must become aware. And have illusion.
Is it encouraged to analyze some candidates?
I would prefer not. I have my clear ideas. I know who should be in combat and who are being left over. The atorrantes are left over. Those who guide themselves more than their past than their future. Those who do not learn the lessons of reality. Those for whom the Castillo and Boluarte government does not serve as a lesson. Those people scare me. That, despite the pathetic failure of the left, there are people who still postulate that the left is the popular flag. The number one enemy of a democracy ends up being populism, both the left and right.
Is it left or is it against Lima? Arequipa is “a gun that points to the heart of Lima.”
It is a vote against what Lima means. Political centralism does a lot of damage. In the south, people feel very postponed, because the centralist scenario of power attempts against their interests.
In 90 Henry Pease marched against terrorism. But today the left supports terrorists.
And the same goes for illegal mining. They do not dare to give a definitive solution to the subject. Confusion between illegal, artisanal and informal mining is convenient. I am very afraid of that because it is an armed sector that moves a lot of money.
