Today's News: Keiko Fujimori Celebrates Electoral Victory and OAS Calls for Speed
The Peruvian political landscape remains at the center of attention following the presidential elections, while international organizations call for the process to be finalized. In the social sphere, an alarming number of police officers are reported to be under investigation for gender-based violence, and in Arequipa, hundreds of families are moving toward the legal formalization of their homes.
Keiko Fujimori, leader of the Fuerza Popular party, has expressed a triumphant tone following the recent presidential elections, asserting that they are preparing to take over the government. In contrast, Roberto Sánchez, from the Juntos por el Perú group, is exhausting legal resources in an attempt to annul polling stations. Faced with this uncertainty, the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert Randin, urged Peruvian electoral institutions to conclude the official process as soon as possible to ensure the country's stability.
In terms of security and justice, reports from the Ministry of the Interior revealed that nearly 4,000 members of the Peruvian National Police are under investigation for cases of gender-based violence. The accumulated complaints include serious crimes such as femicide, attempted femicide, and sexual, physical, and psychological violence, which generates deep concern about the conduct of the officers tasked with protecting the public.
On the other hand, in the district of Quequeña, Arequipa, more than 600 families have begun the process to obtain property titles for their homes. The Agency for the Formalization of Informal Property (Cofopri), the public entity in charge of legalizing properties, is conducting door-to-door visits to verify documentation. This step is essential for residents to legally secure their assets and gain access to credit or basic services.
Finally, the Peruvian fishing sector achieved an international milestone with the eel, which became the first of its species in the world to obtain MSC sustainability certification. This recognition comes after exports that generated 11.6 million dollars, consolidating the economic importance of this resource for the country.
