Jaime Duran Barba: “It doesn’t matter who wins in Peru, there would be a scenario of ungovernability”

Image consultant and political advisor Jaime Durán Barba spoke on the Peruvian elections on Monday and assured that “Whoever wins there would be an ungovernability scenario.”

the tight elections in Peru On the one hand, it has right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori and left-wing candidate Pedro Castillo.

According to his prediction, closely following the trend and the votes counted, Duran Barba said that “The serious problem is not who wins, but in any case there will be a scenario of ungovernability”. It’s because, from what he thinks, “Keiko (Fujimori) if he wins what he thinks is to lower the president”, “the post could be released if that happens”, he expressed. Then he explained that it “can be done with a majority that Keiko has” in Congress. “If Fujimori were to bring down the president, there would be a uprising in southern Peru”.

On the other hand, speaking of the second candidate, he maintained that The castle has the power in a different place, “In popular mobilization. According to the count made so far, Castillo has won in the young towns of Lima and according to Duran Barba’s statement, “he has people mobilizing there and in other places in Peru”.

For the political adviser, in case Castillo wins in the votes, “He could not pass any law in Congress because he has a minority and a majority which is not the opposition, but rather ‘haters'”. The candidate is aware of this, that is why he mobilizes people and he plans to call a plebiscite to make another Constitution.

Even results and the uncertainty they generated beat the Lima Stock Exchange at the opening of the day, at the same time that they devalued the Peruvian sol against the dollar.

This Monday a definition of the provisional count is expected, but its regularity and the slowness of the last votes, coming from the regions furthest from the capital Lima and from abroad, raise a question: if the memberships in Castillo will weigh more in the rural areas of the country or whether the votes of those living outside the country, most of whom are loyal to Fujimori, will be decisive.
