“We need a tough hand against crime”

At the Melitón Carvajal school in Lima, located in Lince, a middle-class neighborhood, a couple of doctors were going to vote, each one for a different candidate, although in another location. He, Moisés Ipanaque, 42 years old, will do it for the right-wing Keiko Fujimori out of fear of the option represented by Roberto Sánchez, from the left: “We already have the precedent of Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia… and look how they are.” She, Akemi Collantes, 40, will vote for Sánchez not out of conviction, but because she believes that Keiko “already has power in Congress and in the judiciary, so giving him the presidency as well would be too much.” From Congress she has done everything that suits her and has ruined the country. Sánchez is not a good option either, but Congress is going to be limiting him.” Both are very concerned about the insecurity that exists in the country. “Last night, at eleven o’clock, we saw a robbery, and in the interior of the country it is worse than in Lima,” he says. “A strong hand is needed,” he intervenes, “that’s why I vote for Keiko, we have to give him a chance. His father was the one who ruled and also did good things; ended terrorism.”
