Josué Gutiérrez is not a political analyst. He is not invited to news programs to act as a guru of national events or to project hypothetical scenarios. He is the Ombudsman. And he should act as such. His statements carry institutional weight.

He is no longer speaking as a former nationalist congressman or as the lawyer of those prosecuted for corruption.

The communicator Diego Avendaño (@avendiego) was the one who best portrayed the Senate election – on his Instagram account – with a graphic from the famous video game Among Us (in which the main objective is to survive by discovering the traitor). In Congress, the left-wing bloc showed that they don’t know how to play and lost their first game because, to this day, they cannot determine with certainty who tampered with their vote to let Fujimorism win the presidency of the Senate (and, above all, discover in exchange for what).

Second, there is evidence of serious state negligence in prevention against El Niño, as the IPE warns of a possible economic downturn for 2027. Finally, the State wastes a great opportunity with assets seized from organized crime, as administrative inefficiency keeps more than 60% of these properties in total abandonment or disuse.
