GEORGE FORSYTH
Mother there is only one
The presidential candidate of Somos Perú, George Forsyth, blurted out when he was asked in an interview if he was also the political son of Patricia Li like President Jerí is. “I only have one mother and I take the opportunity from here to send her a kiss,” the former Alianza Lima goalkeeper and former mayor of La Victoria quickly clarified, who prefers to distance himself from the owner of his party in these rather complicated moments for his denied “little political brother.”
JOSÉ MARÍA BALCÁZAR
The candidate
While the majority of congressmen are campaigning for their re-election, others like José María Balcázar are looking higher. The legislator from Peru Libre has magically appeared again in Parliament wrapped in gift paper and selling himself as the ideal candidate to assume the Presidency of the Republic in the event of Jerí’s departure. Balcázar proclaims himself as a figure of consensus and even challenged María del Carmen Alva, another of those rumored to succeed the president, to go to the south of the country. As if those from the south were going to vote in Congress. This one passed.
JÁUREGUI MIRACLES
He didn’t pay any attention
Congresswoman Milagros Jáuregui seems to have cared very little about the request from the Ethics Commission to present a report on the complaints about the exposure of pregnant minors who were victims of rape. The parliamentarian from Renovación Popular and also a pastor, who tried to promote her Senate campaign with these teenagers, never responded, so that working group will proceed to file an ex officio complaint to initiate the corresponding investigations. What would he have believed?
