During his visit to Huancayo, the Renovación Popular candidate announced that Lima would no longer be the capital, but he avoided supporting the proposal and focused his speech on political confrontations.
At a rally held in Huancayo, presidential candidate Rafael López Aliaga announced that Lima would no longer be the capital of the country and that Junín would assume that role, ensuring that the proposal is part of his government plan. However, it did not present technical or administrative details on how the transfer would be carried out.
The statement generated an immediate reaction from the fugitive Vladimir Cerrón, who through social networks harshly disqualified the former mayor of Lima, calling him a demagogue and questioning the viability of his announcement, which unleashed a crossfire of attacks between both political leaders.
The tension moved to a press conference, when a journalist from Huancayo consulted López Aliaga about the actual implementation of the proposal and about Cerrón’s statements. The candidate avoided answering the substance of the question, adopted a defensive posture and focused his response on disqualifying both Cerrón and the communicator.
In the same space, the congressional candidate for Lima, Norma Yarrow, rejected that there are “pro-crime” laws promoted by Parliament and targeted Perú Libre for its control in key commissions such as Justice and Education. In addition, he questioned the political agreements between Perú Libre and Fuerza Popular, and criticized the role of effective collaborators in corruption cases.
