Uncertainty in the final stretch of Congress and Fujimori's return generate expectations

In the final stretch of negotiations for the election of the Directiva del Congreso, uncertainty looms over the Fuerza Popular party, led by Keiko Fujimori. This Monday, the party will meet to decide whether to present their own candidate for the presidency of the Legislature or delegate that responsibility to another bloc, where it is rumored that Alianza para el Progreso could be the chosen one. The big question is whether Fuerza Popular will repeat the mistake of nominating Alejandro Soto, a controversial figure who caused division in Congress in the past. Amid this political scenario, Alberto Fujimori has returned home after undergoing hip surgery. The announcement was made by Fuerza Popular congressman, Alejandro Aguinaga, who did not provide details on when the former president will return to political activity. However, there is speculation that Fujimori may resume his presidential campaign for the 2026 elections, as suggested by his daughter Keiko on several occasions. On the other hand, Martín Vizcarra has once again made headlines by joining a march called by the CGTP to promote his candidacy for the Presidency. The former president, without having been officially invited, argued the need for citizens to speak out against the current government, pointing out abuses and violations. However, Vizcarra faces criticism for his actions during the pandemic, such as secretly vaccinating himself along with his wife, which caused outrage among the population. At the same time, the Office of the Attorney General has filed a constitutional complaint against congressmen Rosselli Amuruz, Magaly Ruiz, and David Jiménez for alleged irregularities in the hiring of personnel close to their circle, as well as for the misuse of resources. These cases of "mochasueldos" have generated great controversy and highlight the need for the next Congress to not protect its members, allowing the relevant judicial bodies to investigate and, if necessary, prosecute those responsible. In a broader context, the decline of the Lava Jato case remains evident with the exclusion of Marcelo Odebrecht, the main corruptor of the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht, from all criminal proceedings in Brazil. This decision, coupled with Lula Da Silva's return to power, raises doubts about the fight against corruption in the region. In Peru, there are fears that impunity may also prevail, calling into question the judiciary's ability to punish those involved in large-scale corruption scandals. In conclusion, the political landscape in Peru is becoming increasingly complex and marked by uncertainty. With crucial decisions to be made in Congress and the presence of controversial figures in the public scene, the citizens demand transparency, accountability, and a real commitment to the fight against corruption. The country's future will largely depend on how these challenges are addressed and on the institutions' ability to ensure justice and equity in the exercise of power.
