🇵🇪⚡️❗️🇻🇪 — Conservative candidate Keiko Fujimori intensified the tone of her campaign in the final stretch of Peru’s presidential election by publishing a message comparing the Peruvian political landscape to the experience of Venezuela under the governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.

➡️ On the eve of the presidential runoff, Keiko stated that she had spoken with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, one of the most prominent voices opposing Maduro's government.

🤝 In her message, the candidate described the conversation with the Venezuelan politician as “moving” and said that history offers lessons about the paths countries should follow—and those they should avoid. According to Keiko, the model implemented by Chávez came to power promising prosperity but ultimately produced poverty, insecurity, and the exodus of millions of Venezuelans.

⚠️ The former congresswoman also stated that Peruvians have a responsibility to defend democracy, economic prosperity, and the future of coming generations. Without directly naming her opponent, she warned against those who, in her words, are “disguised as democrats” and seek to take away the rights and achievements of the population.

💬 The statement comes amid a campaign marked by ideological polarization. Keiko’s allies have frequently used the situation in Venezuela as an argument against proposals supported by sectors of the Peruvian left, while her opponents point to the political history of Fujimorismo and the legacy of former President Alberto Fujimori to challenge her candidacy.

💥 References to Venezuela have become one of the central themes of Keiko Fujimori’s electoral message, as she seeks to mobilize moderate and conservative voters by presenting the presidential race as a choice between maintaining the current economic model and a possible shift toward policies inspired by left-wing governments in Latin America.
