Roberth Orihuela Q.
Anghelo Huerta Priest He is mayor of the district of Yanahuara and at the same time a candidate for the provincial municipality for the regional movement United for the Great Change. This political grouping is led by Governor Kimmerlee Gutierrez and his family. Until then, a strong political bond unites the two authorities.
Now, we must add that in June the governor fought for the Regional Council to approve the budget transfer for three road works for the Yanahuarina commune.
This generated suspicions: to benefit the candidate of his group. That he can improve his image with the works financed by the regional government.

Huerta and Gutiérrez also strengthen political ties by including their relatives in their provincial and regional lists of the movement. First it was Anghelo, who has like first alderman on his provincial list to Jordy Gutiérrez Canahuire, brother of the governor. Angelo’s sister Pamela Huertait is candidate for vice-government for the C movement. She also works in the Regional Government of Arequipa (GRA).
He has been doing so since March 2022 in the Regional Project Execution Sub-Management. He was entrusted with the position of administrative assistant for the third section of the Vía 4 Carriles. As revealed by this newspaper, said worker does not meet the profile.
blunder
The intention that the mayor’s sister run for vice-government went very wrong. Pamela Huerta is not affiliated with that movement. He did not participate in the internal elections, as required by law. Despite this, they enrolled her in the formula. A blunder that Jorge Suclla, regional candidate for C, is not willing to accept. He said that he does not remember who proposed her, because she did not participate in the internal elections and then they registered her. “When democratic acts are carried out, these mistakes are made”, he argued. Anghelo Huerta’s list was declared inadmissible for “altering the list”, in the internal ones he was as alderman, in the Jury they registered him as mayor.
On this, the political analyst, Edgardo Lajo Paredes, points out that these practices, of putting relatives in candidacies, are becoming very common. “Although it is not illegal, it is questionable from a political point of view and even ethically observable.. It’s like a way to secure a share of power.
In case they don’t get it, then they could be your siblings, their parents or their children. What we see is how some political figures get around the law”, explains Lajo Paredes. The relationship between the two politicians, explains Lajo Paredes, could be assumed as a payment of favors. “Since you are applying with my movement, then I support you by giving your sister a job. And you help me by putting my brother on your list. And if that’s not enough then your sister could apply to help us.
The vicious circle of using the position and public resources for their political interests”, he asserts.

My sister worked before my alliance
Anghelo Huerta Mayor of Yanahuara and provincial candidate of United for the Great Change
– Does not this hiring of your sister denote a favoring of the governor to the Huerta Presbítero family?
No, because my sister works before (the political alliance). There is no corruption, there is no collusion, there is nothing, I do not intervene. There is no legal impediment for her to work. Because otherwise the brothers and cousins of mayors would be condemned to never work.
– But the reality is that you are a candidate for the movement of the governor and your sister too (for lieutenant governor)
She is no longer a candidate. That you wanted to participate is up to each one. I answer for Anghelo Huerta and she must answer for Pamela Huerta.
– Would you dare to take stock of the management of Kimmerlee Gutiérrez?
It is not bad management, but it is not at the level of the hopes of what the population wanted.
