Fujimori's affiliation to Fuerza Popular sparks controversy and uncertain scenarios in Peru.

The news of Alberto Fujimori's affiliation with the political party Fuerza Popular has caused a stir in the Peruvian political landscape, posing different scenarios and generating conflicting opinions among specialists and analysts. Following the announcement made on social media, Elio Riera, lawyer for the former president, stated that Fujimori is eligible to participate in politics and did not rule out the possibility of running for a public office in the upcoming elections. In this regard, experts like Luis Fernando Núñez, a political scientist and international relations specialist, warn that Alberto Fujimori's potential candidacy would carry significant political weight, especially due to the existing polarization in the country regarding his figure. Despite having a loyal base of followers, the presence of the former president in the electoral race could also provoke resistance from anti-Fujimori sectors. One of the scenarios raised is the possibility of Fujimori running for the presidency, which would raise questions about the eligibility of his daughter, Keiko Fujimori, to hold a vice-presidential position due to nepotism. However, in the event of a potential presidential victory for Alberto Fujimori, his daughter could aspire to the presidency of Congress, creating an unprecedented political succession in the country. In contrast, other analysts like Juan Carlos Lara, a lawyer specializing in political communication, raise ethical and legal objections to Fujimori's candidacy, emphasizing that he still carries convictions for various crimes and that the humanitarian pardon does not imply his innocence or the revocation of the imposed sentence. From this perspective, Fujimori's candidacy would be unconstitutional and would open a debate on the limits of legality and ethics in Peruvian politics. Fujimori's potential participation in Fuerza Popular has been interpreted as a strategy to regain former party members and strengthen its support base, which was weakened in the last elections. According to Juan Carlos Lara, this political move could benefit traditional parties like Fuerza Popular in a context of political spectrum fragmentation and the emergence of new figures and alliances. Amidst these considerations, specialists agree that Alberto Fujimori's presence in the Peruvian political arena poses ethical, legal, and constitutional challenges that must be addressed rigorously. Although his figure continues to generate polarization and political mobilization, his return raises questions about the health of democracy and the integrity standards that should govern the public sphere. In conclusion, the potential candidacy of Alberto Fujimori in the Peruvian elections has sparked an intense debate on the viability and legitimacy of his political participation, as well as on the limits of justice and democracy in the country. In a context of uncertainty and political transformation, the return of the former president presents challenges that must be addressed with seriousness and responsibility by society and authorities.
