Fotos: Manuel Méndez 10 de los alcaldes* 11 PODER Y SOCIEDAD n el Perú existe la idea de que las alcaldías representan un escalón Enecesario para llegar a cargos más importantes, como la Presi- dencia de la República. Sin embargo, la historia refuta esta visión ya que, con la excepción de Guillermo Billinghurst, ningún otro alcalde ha llegado a ser presidente. El político del pan grande, sin duda populista, fue derrocado por el mariscal Óscar R. Benavides. Lima siempre ha sido una ciudad conservadora, tanto en sus cos- tumbres como en sus opciones políticas. Durante el gobierno revolucio- nario de Juan Velasco Alvarado, de tinte reformista, la designación “a dedo” de los alcaldes tuvo un perfil más bien empresarial, desvinculado políticamente de las organizaciones populares. Y eso que al gobierno militar le faltaba a gritos contacto con el mundo popular. SINAMOS, una creación estrictamente política del velasquismo, habría podido de lo más bien proponer alcaldes con llegada al universo barrial. Desde su fundación española, Lima ha tenido más de trescientos alcaldes, muchos de ellos nombrados por el gobierno central. El pri- mero fue Nicolás de Ribera, el Viejo, en 1535, y desde esa fecha hasta 1839 se sucedieron más de 170 gestiones municipales. La Constitución de 1839 no consideró la instancia municipal. Recién en 1857 renace la Municipalidad de Lima y fue gobernada por un solo alcalde. El último en tentar el sillón presidencial fue Luis Castañeda Lossio y su participación en la campaña del año 2011 fue bastante pobre, demostrando que una cosa es con guitarra y otra con cajón.

  • Background- Peru1 Peru Is the Third Largest Country in South America
    Background- Peru1 Peru is the third largest country in South America, after Brazil and Argentina, home to 30 million people. It is a developed democracy still grappling with a lingering legacy of repeated military coups, mistreatment of indigenous peoples, and severe human rights abuses committed during a 1980s and 1990s communist insurgency. It has the unenviable distinction of being, by far, the state appearing the most frequently before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Peru’s colonial period was marked by notably strong military control and brutal repression of indigenous populations. Spain conquered the Inca Empire in the 1500s but Indians repeatedly rebelled against Spanish rule, most notably under Túpac Amaru II, an Incan and Spanish aristocrat who the Spanish tortured to death for leading a 1780 rebellion. By the 1800s, Spain had firm control over Peru with a large Spanish population and military presence. However, the Spanish military presence threatened revolutionaries from the newly independent Argentina and Bolivia and they invaded Peru and declared it independent in 1824. In the century following its independence, Peru gradually made progressive reforms but struggled with repeated wars and mounting foreign debt. After the Argentine and Bolivian revolutionaries departed, Peruvian military leaders engaged in an internal power struggle but ultimately established a stable military regime in the 1850s and a presidential democracy in the 1870s. From the 1850s to 1920s, Peru expanded voting rights, developed public education, abolished slavery, and introduced theoretical (if poorly enforced) rights for indigenous communities. However, the socialist Aprista party and the communists complained that support for the poor and indigenous communities did not go far enough.

  • RPP Noticias\) El Candidato a La Presidencia Por El APRA, Alan
    ANÁLISIS DE OPINION PÚBLICA: ABRIL DE 2006 PANORAMA ELECTORAL Después de una tensa espera y un prolongado conteo de votos, la ONPE, Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales, estaría por anunciar en las próximas horas cual de los dos candidatos, si Alan García del APRA o Lourdes Flores Nano de Unidad Nacional, pasaría a la segunda vuelta a competir con Ollanta Humala del Partido Nacionalista. Durante la campaña electoral en primera vuelta, las encuestadoras siempre consideraron como tercera opción una segunda vuelta entre Ollanta Humala y Alan García y los resultados siempre le eran contrarios al líder del Partido Aprista. Según las encuestas, García Pérez no solo no ganaría en ningún caso, sino que recibía el mayor rechazo de los electores con un contundente “no votaría jamás por él”. Los candidatos Alan García y Flores Nano, mientras tanto, se mantienen en espera de los resultados oficiales para la segunda vuelta que definirá quien gobernará al país en el periodo de gobierno 2006-2011. Las posibilidades se inclinan a favor de García. Pero al margen de los resultados que hoy nos ofrece la ONPE, lo que se vivió el pasado nueve de abril fue realmente una fiesta democrática. Desde las ocho de la mañana más de 13 millones de ciudadanos, incluidos los peruanos residentes en el extranjero, ejercieron su derecho al voto libremente. La concurrencia masiva de electores permitió que el porcentaje de ausentismo fuera de apenas el 10 por ciento, el más bajo desde 1985. “Las cifras son muy alentadores para el país, porque demuestran una mayor cultura ciudadana y compromiso para elegir a las autoridades que nos representarán en los próximos cincos años”, comentó al respecto la jefa de la ONPE Magdalena Chú.

  • Memorial Struggles and Power Strategies of the Rights in Latin America Today
    http://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n31.2019.01 Memorial struggles and power strategies of the rights in Latin America today Luchas memoriales y estrategias de poder de las derechas en América Latina hoy Verónica Giordano Teacher and Researcher UBA and CONICET [email protected] Orcid code: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7299-6984 Gina Paola Rodríguez Teacher and Researcher UNLPam and UBA [email protected] Orcid code: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1702-3386 Abstract Recently, right-wing forces of different origins and types have sprung up in Latin America. In this article, four countries are studied: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. The first two correspond to cases in which the right-wing groups stand in opposition to the so-called progressive governments. The other two correspond to cases in which they stand in a political system with a strong continuity of predominance of right-wing forces. Since there are few studies with an overall perspective, this article seeks to make a contribution in that direction. The objective is to analyze the non-electoral strategies of construction and/ or exercise of power implemented by the right-wing groups around the memorial struggles. Based on the review of journalistic sources and speeches of the national right-wing referents, this article analyzes how current right-wing groups have proceeded to the institution of languages and the definition of a field of meanings that dispute the meaning of the recent past. From a comparative perspective, it is argued that in all four cases negationism offers an effective repertoire for these groups, which is used in their non- electoral (as well as electoral) strategies for building hegemony at the cultural level.

  • The Fujimori Blessing to Martín Vizcarra's Presidency
    A REPORT OF COUNCIL 2501 Calvert St. NW, Suite 401 ON Washington, DC 20008 HEMISPHERIC (202) 223-4975 AFFAIRS [email protected] July 10, 2018 Where does Perú go from here: The Fujimori Blessing to Martín Vizcarra’s Presidency | by Jonathan Goodman Research Associate at the Council on Hemispheric Affairs To view this article online, please click here. Introduction The legacy of one of Peru’s cruelest presidents, Alberto Fujimori, has continued to afflict the political careers of succeeding Peruvian presidents and even his own children: Keiko and Kenji. Although it is naive to assert that Fujimori’s legacy and downfall have directly contributed to the environment of malfeasance in Peru’s legislature and executive office, his actions exacerbate the corruption nightmare that has plagued the Peruvian people for too long. On March 21, 2018, former Peruvian president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (PPK) resigned from office, just four months shy of his two-year anniversary as president. With the current Peruvian constitution imposing five-year term limits for its presidents, PPK is the first Peruvian president in the 21st century to fall short of that five-year benchmark. Even so, all elected Peruvian presidents since Alberto Fujimori have been investigated for corruption, with many being COUNCIL ON HEMISPHERIC AFFAIRS July 10, 2018 Where does Perú go from here: The Fujimori Blessing to Martín Vizcarra’s Presidency: by Jonathan Goodman indicted. [i] What are the implications of this corruption streak? During the 1992 auto-coup Fujimori dissolved the former bicameral congress, and then in his subsequent rule, he replaced it with a unicameral Congress.
