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).
