The president of the Nation, Alberto Fernández, analyzes traveling to the city of Lima to participate on July 28 of the inauguration of the new head of state of the Republic of Peru, Pedro Castillo.Fernández congratulated yesterday the president-elect of Peru, while stressing that his goal is to work “together for a united Latin America.” I want to reiterate my congratulations to Pedro Castillo, who was democratically elected and proclaimed president of our brothers of Peru,” said the Argentine head of state, who from his twitter account, added: “Together we will work for a united Latin America.”
Alberto Fernández had anticipated congratulating Castillo on his victory in the elections in which he defeated Keiko Fujimori on June 10 in a runoff election but his peruvian counterpart had not yet been proclaimed elected.” Today I communicated with Castillo, president-elect of Peru. I expressed to him my hope that we will join forces in favour of Latin America. We are deeply twinned nations,” he wrote at the time. In this context, the president had said: “I am pleased that the dear Peruvian people face the future in democracy and with institutional solidity.” Peru’s National Election Board (JNE) proclaimed Castillo, 51, as president-elect, by officializing that, regardless of the amparo appeals and fraud complaints filed, he won by more than 44,200 votes over the representative of The Popular Force, Keiko Fujimori, in the hard-fought ballot held on June 6.
With all the polling stations counted, Pedro Castillo (Free Peru) obtained 50.13%, while Keiko Fujimori (Popular Force), 49.87%, with a difference of 44,263 votes. The assumption of the representative of Free Peru, in addition to the beginning of the presidential period 2021 – 2026, will be marked by the celebration of the 200 years of independence of the Andean country. Castillo said in the last few hours that “the most urgent thing” for the government that will begin in eight days is “the health of the Peruvian people” and, secondly, to do “everything possible” to reactivate the economy, while a leader of his party said that the cabinet is now “complete,” although no names were released.
