“(This activity) is concentrated very little in Callao. What we have done It is a master plan with the Costa Verde and the trips to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Arab Emirates were, precisely, to involve foreign investment in having a ‘Dubai’ here (in Peru),” he responded in RPP.
He added that with his master plan he intends for the tourist cruises to be located in an area with easy access to the Jorge Chávez International Airport and the main restaurants in Lima and Callao. “That’s our plan, but it has to be on the other side of the table, as president of Peru”, he stated pompously, as is his style.
But this proposal is not new, it is part of the list of his 25 unfulfilled promises as mayor of Lima, as he revealed The Republic. In his municipal government plan, López Aliaga offered the construction of the Great Cruise Port. Well, currently, There is not a single stone of that project, everything remained on paper.
pompous proposals
Nor is it the first time that López Aliaga has made these types of striking promises. In addition to turning Lima into a global potential, he offered to build a ‘Central Park’ in the Zepita jirón, which is a red zone of the Lima fence where prostitution and human trafficking take place.
However, this newspaper dismantled his initiative by revealing that the ‘Central Park’ by López Aliaga It would be nothing more than a small urban park that would be just one block long compared to the Hollywood park of 487 blocks.
López Aliaga also promised artificial beaches in Lima and ended up enabling a pool with sand, as happened in the Wiracocha zonal park, in San Juan de Lurigancho.
The same thing happened with his proposal to buy drones that explode to combat crime. “The drone detects if there is a criminal act and goes down to warn (the criminal): either you stop, or it explodes. This is how the technology works,” he mentioned last June.
In this way, the electoral campaign has begun and a series of promises from the candidates are approaching.
