The look of the correspondent The club of the presidents prosecuted in Latin America
Several leaders of the Latin American left have come to the aid of Pedro Castillo, candidate of Peru Libre, who leads the electoral count with more than 99% of the tally sheets. A concerted strategy when the union member and teacher
must still overcome the nullity process of almost 200,000 votes
proposed by his rival, the populist Keiko Fujimori, which has further increased the polarization and tension that the Andean country suffers.
The first to react was Argentine President Alberto Fernández, under the spotlight of the continent after his racist statements on Wednesday with Pedro Sánchez. "Today I communicated with Pedro Castillo,
president-elect of Peru.
I expressed my desire that we join efforts in favor of Latin America. We are deeply twinned nations," the leader of the Puebla Group, which groups leftist leaders, wrote on his social networks. , populists and revolutionaries of the continent.
Castillo (50.18%) maintains an
advantage of 63,000 votes
over Keiko (49.82%) with 99.40% of the tally sheets, but he has not yet been declared president-elect.
The slim margin of 0.36% plus the delaying tactic implemented by Fuerza Popular, similar to that carried out by Donald Trump in the US, will
delay the final pronouncement for several days,
according to experts.
The maneuver of the Argentine president was firmly contested by the Peruvian government, whose Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a protest note to the Argentine ambassador in Lima:
"The final results of the 2021 general elections have not yet been announced
by the electoral authorities. of our country ".
"The great homeland joins forces to continue the fight for a tomorrow with justice and equality for the peoples," said the Bolivian president,
Luis Arce,
in his congratulations
to the "elected president of Peru."
Another show of support for the indigenous revolution, which is one of the mirrors Castillo intends to focus on if his victory is finally confirmed. Arce chose to illustrate his message
the video of Castilo's self-coronation,
when he sang victory without the electoral results being closed.
Evo Morales
took the opportunity to pay off old debts with the Nobel Prize winner
Mario Vargas Llosa:
"He lost to Fujimori father in 1990 and lost to Fujimori daughter in 2021. He writes a lot in favor of neoliberalism but does not know how to read the reality of our peoples." Vargas Llosa, through his son Álvaro, was in favor of revising the contested minutes.
The third reaction came from Managua in the midst of the hunt and capture of opposition presidential candidates undertaken by Sandinismo.
"On behalf of our sovereign, blessed and always free Nicaragua", the presidential couple made up of
Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo
congratulated the "brother and combative Peruvian people with their elected president, fellow rural teacher Pedro Castillo, a genuine, vibrant and dignifying symbol of our original cultural identity ".
Former Brazilian President
Lula da Silva,
who is also part of the Puebla Group, like Evo Morales, highlighted the "advance" in the popular struggle in the region.
In the antipodes of these leaders, the Idea Group, which groups together former presidents of the region and Spain, spoke, urging "both suitors to contribute with their leadership to sustaining citizen peace and to wait for the constitutionally competent bodies to dictate their final resolution ".
Among the signatories are the Spanish
José María Aznar,
the Argentine
Mauricio Macri
and the Colombian
Álvaro Uribe.
