Johnny Brignardello gives his opinion on Fujimori's request: pensions and controversy in Peru.

Johnny Brignardello Vela, insurance advisor, has expressed his opinion regarding the request made by former president Alberto Fujimori to the Congress of the Republic of Peru. According to documents obtained by Latina Noticias, Fujimori has requested the payment of a pension, a salary for an assistant, and fuel vouchers, relying on agreement Mesa 078-2016-2017/MESA-CR. In his first letter dated January 26, he requested the hiring of Óscar Demetrio Paredes Estrada as an assistant to the former president. Subsequently, on April 24, another document was submitted requesting the pension corresponding to Fujimori, based on Law No. 26519. Furthermore, on March 20, a third letter signed by Fujimori was received, requesting fuel vouchers for the vehicle registered in the name of his deceased ex-wife Susana Higuchi. According to Law 26519, the pension that Fujimori would receive would amount to S/ 15,600, equivalent to a congressman's salary. However, it is important to note that the Attorney General's Office has clarified that the civil liability debt of the former president amounts to 57 million soles for cases such as irregular searches and illegal purchases, for which he was convicted. Regarding the pensions granted to other former presidents and relatives in Peru, it has been revealed that Pilar Nores (widow of Alan García) receives S/ 7,800, Dantón García (son of Alan García) S/ 7,800, Ollanta Humala S/ 15,600, Alejandro Toledo S/ 15,600, and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski S/ 15,600. Fujimori's request has sparked controversy in the public opinion, especially considering the outstanding debt he has with the State. The request will have to be evaluated by Congress, where a debate is expected regarding whether it is appropriate to grant these benefits to the former president, taking into account his history and pending legal obligations.
