After the first round, this seems to be the new order of the candidates, at least one of them. The political landscape and dynamics of an election in a runoff are completely different from the first leg of the race. This time, not enough to consolidate the vote that the candidate knows he has in his favor, it is time to seek the sympathy of those who did not vote for this option, it's time to leave in search of voters who were left without candidate favorite sight, and therefore most important is to generate less fear and less dislikes the opponent, the formula is a single, radical or abandon positions that generate little consensus among the undecided, from a moderate discourse that allows the candidate position in the center of the court.
During the last two weeks we have been able to realize, despite the strenuous efforts of the majority sector of the national press, how the candidates, one more successful than another, have made several adjustments to their campaign strategies. Today no one remembers and the government plan presented to the public and registered with the competent electoral authority, today, some characters, linked to the candidates have been virtually banished from their environment, they are sums that remain today some information seems to have been hidden under lock and key. Why does this happen? Very simple. In a second round winner who is not who convinces more voters but who awakens in them less and uncertainties.
If so, I think in these early days, post the first round, Ollanta Humala, who did not vote for in the first round, is moving the political chess pieces with more tact that Keiko Fujimori. Ollanta, was the first to restart his campaign, has revisited the interior of the country has returned to the towns and provinces where it won the first majority just two weeks in an attempt to consolidate the vote obtained and secure the support of those who decided to mark by another policy option. Not only that, I think the most important thing is to have obtained the explicit backing of some characters, fields and currents of opinion other than his own party, I would say radically different. Apparently, Ollanta Humala has understood that the radical rhetoric, anti-system discourse 'came to change everything ", does not help much in the last meters of the start. Beyond doubt, based I believe, that one may have about the veracity of this sudden change seems to have been an interesting political move have joined his campaign team and government plans a series of independent technical professionals and renowned nationally and internationally, as a clear demonstration to the electorate of moderation and political will in the difficult search for consensus , which are needed to clinch the victory at the end of this battle.
An important sector of public opinion, but especially media, have sought to present the nationalist candidate as any perfect liar. Ie, newspapers and mail, Peru 21, reason, and of course, El Comercio, displaying a strong bias for the other candidate, they merely tell the public that in the case of Ollanta Humala the phrase "wolf in sheep's clothing" fits like a glove. It seems that the days of objectivity and unbiased journalism or neutral, if that ever lived, eventually, modesty is not something that characterizes the media in such situations, the support of these to the candidacy of Keiko Fujimori is more than evident, and media groups to do his best to hide it.
To be honest, the choice and the behavior of these groups can not surprise me. In a democracy, it suffices to see what happens in countries like the U.S., the media have the right opt for this or that candidate. The media they do, explicitly tell the reader or viewer are the colors which they defend, in an act that does nothing but make more transparent the management of information and how this is presented to the public. This behavior is not new, not something that should get our attention. Neither my attention the fact that Mr Ollanta Humala, try to move closer to the center, present a much more moderate, more in line with what most the other 50% of voters want to hear. So it is understandable that one of his first moves has been to seek communication with this group of technocrats to which we refer, for Not surprisingly, the discourse of the first round, including government plan, is being renovated every day, I'm sure at the end of the day, all of the original document will be the name. Personally, this behavior of the candidate, any candidate in the second round, I'm not surprised, especially if it is one that stood as Mr Humala. I do not deny, as does the mainstream press, that the strategy is smart. As some journalists, it is preferable that these characters are slowly forming part of Ollanta Humala environment, limiting its action, moderate their positions, stop their disturbing attacks of volunteerism, to the same circle is composed of the usual left-wing radicals with whom nobody wants to sit down and negotiate.
But if Mr Humala has done and is doing it. What we have in front. What moves, which accommodations are cooked in the store of Keiko Fujimori. Apparently none. In my opinion it is this attitude that must have concerned the sectors of economic, political and military behind his candidacy. It seems that the candidate feels to be the media, who would have thought that a few weeks ago, who would be responsible for the nomination backfire of his opponent, stripped its inconsistencies and weaknesses, and hiding their own. I say this because if one reviews the covers and contents of the media will find anything but a reason that justifies why an eventual government of Mrs. Fujimori would be best for the country that a government of Ollanta Humala. What we are daily covers, some more offensive and ridiculous than others, which is what is to disqualify a candidate, whether based on verifiable truths or simply to talk nonsense, a sort of extension of so far we have had in the country when it comes to lower the tire to anyone who dares to present an option to change or simply question the economic system that only in Peru have deified believing perfect.
I understand that the media is difficult to single out any positive aspect or a policy under Keiko Fujimori. Say your poster and your curriculum vitae as a politician are not the best. Being a woman of just 35 years, as Alan Garcia of 85, which is not known to any work, except the last 5 years during which he strove to do anything in Congress, and did I think. Ms. Keiko Fujimori has more to offer. So worried about his passivity and lack of reaction and smell in the search for new support and commitment to his candidacy to help her defeat Humala. Except for the media to groups already mentioned, we do not see other groups unions, political groups, or opinion leaders, will offer their support or confidence, at least not explicitly. Apparently, a major sector of the population, composed of businessmen, intellectuals, politicians, and former presidential candidate, he continues to create some fear, shame and guilt to publicly say "this time I fujimorismo the game." That means only one thing, they are not so forgetful. And what are some disguise know with extraordinary talent.
's candidacy and the candidate Ollanta Humala not generate in me the smallest kind of enthusiasm. I do not jump on the bandwagon of those who now think they see him as the great savior of the republic. Over the years I have been quite critical of him. I never believed in the authoritarian model, or the messianic zeal of some politicians who believe that development is achieved by magic, and that this is enough to change some articles of the Constitution, or raise the minimum wage, or through as questionable as pension programs 65, arguably the way of financing them, but not for the purpose that they seek, eye, it is necessary to make this clarification, otherwise it could easily be mistaken for a mastiff more than the right. I think the government program, which appears to have consolidated Ollanta has not reached by the sun, is full of a number of inconsistencies, full of economic proposals, political and social something debatable, some disastrous and unworkable. But it is precisely the latter that in my view the policy makes Ollanta Humala is in a better position than Keiko Fujimori. Mr. Humala, consciously or not, right or wrong, is being able to present a proposed policy change to the country, which it does not Keiko Fujimori. Mr Humala is trying to refine some concepts, not saying she does, with the aim to do much more palatable his speech, calls for independent professionals, is committed to respect certain principles political and economic rights that give security and tranquility to the country. In contrast, Keiko Fujimori, who of the two, was the only political commitment signing raised by PPK, as school girl who is unable to criticize the teacher, which in my opinion is quite sui generis, as never seen The losers in a campaign to impose the agenda who were victorious in every language is silent and avoids the political debate program.
Put it in a much more graphic in recent days leave me some pictures and words for thought. While Mr Humala, with little something lying including moderates the discourse, calls and meets with leaders and technical policy of other stores in search of their accession, Ms. Keiko Fujimori placed pink gloves, and next to Leyla Chihuan, happily poses for the cameras with Kina Malpartida. While Mr. Ollanta Humala, is committed to respecting press freedom, not to change the Constitution, promote private enterprise and encourage foreign investment, in response to media pressure exerted on his candidacy, the only commitment that has been Keiko Fujimori heard was the following: I swear by God, not my father indultaré. As if the future of a country or a government plan held by the candidate only made to pardon or not a corrupt human rights violator. Why does this happen? Very simple. The cards are played, and the media will not touch Keiko. Keiko feels winner. Beware, if continues, may be more bruised than rivals Kina. Rafael Rodriguez Campos
