PERU: Fujimoristas condition Kuczynski cooperation

President-elect Pedro Pablo Kuczynski offered an olive branch to his defeated rival for the presidency, Keiko Fujimori, this week. But while Fujimori recognised her defeat she gave no indication that she would be prepared to work with Kuczynski for the sake of governability in Peru. Instead, she promised that her Fuerza Popular (FP) party, which will have a simple majority with 73 seats in the 130-seat congress, would provide “a responsible opposition”. While Kuczynski urged her “to start afresh and work together for Peru”, Fujimori is not going to give him what he wants that easily. Several FP deputies are demanding that Kuczynski make a public apology for campaign comments as a pre-condition for any talks.
