Juan de la Puente: “We are facing the beginning of the reconstruction of the extreme right in Lima”

Political scientist and director of the portal “Pata Amarilla” Juan de la Puente noted that Free Peruthe party that brought Pedro Castillo to the presidency was defeated in the 2022 regional and municipal elections. De la Puente argued that while they did well, they failed to make a good showing in the elections.

“The match was lost, despite the fact that everything was going to this.. A few years ago, Peru Libre was only a regional party. Now they have a government, an important parliamentary group, a lot of advertising. There were a lot of front pages in the media against Peru Libre, or Peru Libre, or Mr. (Vladimir) Cerron,” he said.

AT News Extension from PTRnoted that with regard to Fuerza Popular, a party that also did not do well in the elections, although it also suffered a defeat, this is still a tradition.

“In general, there are political traditions that can be defeated, but this does not prevent them from being traditions. In the case of the left, they were defeated in Lima and outside of Lima, but this does not mean that there is no left tradition with fujimorism that has not succeeded or very rarely succeeded in regional and municipal elections after leaving power Alberto Fujimori, but the Fujimori tradition was present. I also believe Fujimorism is more than Fuerza Popular,” he added.

softening effect

On another occasion, the political scientist clarified that there is a weakened effect in the last electionsbecause there is a rapid change of political parties.

“There are winners and losers in the electoral process, but I believe that the consequences of this process are rather weakened. For example, two national parties are said to have survived outside of Lima, but with the exception of Mr. Acuña, who is an activist and founder of the Alianza para el Progreso party, we are talking about five other places where the parties won elections, in quotes, national, wombs for rent. The winning candidates had previously been candidates from other political parties. That is a softened effect,” he said.

John from the bridge He also mentioned Rafael López Allaga, who is the top contender for the world title. Municipality of Limaand said that a “reconstruction of the political representation of the extreme right” was now underway.

“In Lima, Mr. López Allaga won a more political victory, but it is also a weakened effect in the sense that he has few votes (…). Where I don’t think there is a weakened effect, but more convincing is the defeat of the ruling party across the country, as well as regional movements that have cornered nationwide political formations,” he added.

“We are facing the beginning of a reconstruction of the political representation of the extreme right in Lima, because the voices of Mr. López Allaga and his party in some so-called mesocratic constituencies are consistent. Even his voices penetrated the outskirts of Lima. and i’m saying this because for some people being conservative is synonymous with being rich and i think the conservative meaning is rather People’s Renewal It has a greater identity than other rights,” he concluded.
