Candidates in Peru’s polarised presidential race have squared off in a televised debate – a week ahead of the runoff vote.
Opponents of Pedro Castillo say his socialist policies will hurt the economy.
Critics of conservative contender Keiko Fujimori associate her with corruption – from the time her father was president.
Al Jazeera’s Marina Sanchez reports from Lima.

Both parties are radical and currupt.
Castillo all day baby
They are both really awful
Pedro Castillo
A Japanese in Peru?!
Yes. There’s a huge population there.
Keiko Fujimori. Her father Alberto was corrupt af and fled to Japan after he was charged with crimes against humanity for using death squads
Daughter of a *DICTATOR*

Yes.
Exactly her father came to peru to rescue us from the terrorists!!!
Most peruvians looks asians with brown skin
*My favorite is Japanese candidate*
Lool
fujimori san.
The threat of communism. The same ideological bullshit Jaime Durán Barba used to make Lasso win in Ecuador. Just go ahead and read his biography and you’ll find out how perverse is this person.
venezuela 2.0
If fujimori is elected they will have Chile 2.0 or Colombia 2.0
@Nicolas M I love your answer. Chavez did predict that the Bolivarian Revolution would spread to every corner of Latin America…
Que asco ambos candidatos 😖😖😖
This fuji family never go away.
Lol Keiko have been in 3 presidential races already. She lost twice, and let’s see for this one 🤣
They will if you make them go away
Got the people fighting against each other over people they think will better their lives, mission successful
Es como si en México votaramos por familiares de Porfirio Díaz después de la revolución. Cómo se atreve Fujimori a intentar regresar al poder a través de su hija.
Que tiene que ver el hijo de alguien? Explicate, tu eres lo mismo que tu padre? O sea, tu eres responsable de lo que hizo tu padre en su vida?
Doesn’t Dominion pick their leaders too?
Don’t forget that Fujimori and his ilk instituted a policy to sterilize the native people.
@Sergio Saavedra that’s not true what you say. Native people without children were also sterilized by lying and forcibly. what you are telling here is fake news
@Sergio Saavedra shut up liar. Your fujimori is a killer
Fujimori defeated to the terrorists, stabilize the economy , the sterilization to the indigenous was invented by the experts leftist but nobody say nothing about the plan parenthood that the founder wants to reduce the black population. If you support Castillo you’re racist because he doesn’t include the blacks, whites, Asians Peruvians always in his rallies he says the authentics Peruvian really? So my kids and grandkids born in United state they’re not authentics, Castillo is a Mestizo social misfit!
@Capomacho Proof what you say, liar. You guys, communists, hate Fujimori ’cause he defeated you in the 90’s, he defeated your terrorist pals, both Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) and MRTA, lol
@Nicolas M Fujimori is the best Presidente Peru ever had, he defeated Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) and MRTA, stabilized the economy, since then Peru grew more than any other country in the region, thanks to him you can eat three times a day, if your communist friends were in power we would be poor like Venezuela, lol……..LOSER
At least both sides are in unity with wearing face masks as they protest and throw rocks at each other.
Los Fujimori son como Salinas degortari en Mexico.
Corrupcion, Jurgen sucio y NOOOOO se preocupan x los ciudadanos.
Un juego sucio y descansado de IMPUNIDAD.
Lo mismisimo Paso en Mexico con la ayuda de los medios corruptos y pagados para meterle el miedo a la gente de q el candidato va a ser comunista y convetir el pais en otro Honduras o Nicaragua.
Muy pero muy dificil lo q esta pasando en Peru.
Los reporteros honestos son perseguidos y censurados .
it can’t get any worse , we now know harsh capitalism is a failed paradigm applied anywhere , so how can there be answers , only questions , who are the drug cartels voting for ?
They both look pretty bad lmao 😂 praying for the country Peru 🇵🇪
The old phantom of comunism….capitalism is soooooooooooo great
ESTE GRAN HOMBRE PEDRO CASTILLO VA A PARAR QUE KEIKO😈,SU ESPOSO😈, Y SU PADRE😈 NO QUEDEN LIBRES , CON LOS MILES DE MILLONES DINERO💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 DEL PERU QUE ROBARON, QUE LOS OBLIGEN A COMFESAR PARA QUE ESE DINERO VUELVA AL PERU !!@ O CADENA PERPETUA. ⛓⛓⛓., ESTO ES LO UNICO QUE PARA LA CORRUPCION!!!!!!!!BASTA YA!!
I’ve always found it remarkable that Peru had a President named Alberto Fujimori and may have another President named Keiko Fujimori. I didn’t know that Japanese people had even immigrated to South America until about 15 years ago when I learnt that the biggest Japanese population outside of Japan is in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Good luck with your election, Peru.
Did u know that also, Peru has the highest % of Chinese descendents in Latin America after Brazil. Also, only 4% of enslaved people imported from Africa during the Atlantic slave trade was sent to the US, the rest 96% went to Latin America and the carribean 😱
Peru is done if Castillo is voted in. If you have money in Peru get out now. It will take years for Peru to recover from Castillo.
@TheWizard man I don’t buy that liberal bs. It is proven not to work. Liberalism only protects the rights of businessmen and businesswomen and it lets the workers suffer helplessly.
@Nicolas M without businessmen there is no money. businessmen are people who own the little store on the corner, the fruit sellers in the market. We need more of that in Peru. Peru also needs investors without that there is nothing. Businesses pay for most if not all the taxes in Peru. That I know of there is no personal income tax. If you tax the poor maybe they would take better care of public property. I’m not rich but I know economics well.
@TheWizard LMAO businesses do NOT pay the most taxes anywhere in the world. What you’re saying is true only on paper. If the workers democratically owned the means of production we wouldn’t need to talk about taxes, bosses and worker exploitation
@Nicolas M What you are talking about is socialism/communism. It has never worked anywhere in the world in the history of mankind. It’s a nice idea “on paper” but men are instinctively corruptible so it does not work. Don’t take my word for it, read a history book. The closest we have are the Scandinavian countries and it works there because they are countries that made lots of money from their industry so it was able to create good social programs but also they are a people that followed the rules and didn’t abuse their programs. Imagen that in Peru? It would never work in Peru, culturally Peruvians take advantage of every system and program because of poverty and necessity so what Peru needs is industry and fundamental enterprise. That is the only way out of poverty. Peru is rich in resources but it’s never had a government that has run it properly. If you let the workers be the boss the company will fail because someone has to be the boss and make the big decisions. Your ideas are good and honest but they just don’t work because people are corruptible.
@TheWizard many worker co-ops exist and they’re doing pretty good; *without a boss.* Check Mondragon Company. Your argument is not true.
As for socialism never working, I’d suggest you check history. Every country that has tried to achieve socialism was attacked by the West in many ways (sanctions, bombings, coup d’etats). So that’s one reason of their failing. Another one is that the leaders didn’t actually apply the steps needed. They reached one point of the road to socialism and then they stopped, either because they know they will be attacked by the West, or they had never an intention to drive their country to socialism. The USSR, the most famous of the socialist projects, actually failed when it started privatizing the means of production. Gorbachev is hated by a lot of people because he mass privatized businesses and he led the USSR to its forceful dissolution. The 1991 referendum shows that 78% of the Soviet people didn’t want the USSR to dissolve.

Viva castillo native american peru
Japanese gotta go man ~ Let the origin Perunian take the leader
I watched the entire debate last night . Fujimori won the debate ,hands down ,but if Im Peruvian ,I will not vote for her .She cannot be trusted .She is very arrogant and is power hungry . Im pretty sure ,she has superiority complex and despise native Peruvian . She’s a crook like her father . On the other hand ,Castillo may turn Peru to be the next Venezuela or Cuba .Its a tough choice. Fortunately ,Im not a Peruvian .
I like Fujimori something about casteel i do not trust but I wish Peru the best all of you much love to all of Peru
Much love to all of you
Politics in Latin America? Doesn’t get more exciting than this.
Why are people so ignorant? There are Japanese in Peru, Chinese in Malaysia , Indians in South Africa , Germans in Kazakhstan , Lebanese in Brazil , and the list goes on and on . Everyone is everywhere . Mankind had existed for thousands of years and people are free to fly anywhere and settle down . You can fly to any part of the world on just a day or two or less . Some people just font have simple basic common sense
Leftists are so stupid, they think that things that have failed everywhere else, will work in their country.
Spectacular lack of understanding of the lessons of history
Don’t be a weeb. Corrupt leader is a corrupt leader
I don’t vote that Japanese woman I vote for Castillo Period. If Peru will start becoming communist, then it’s future is become capitalism just like Russia did
Peruanos, no se dejen engañar!!! Keiko Fujimori tiene suficiente dinero para sobornar a los jueces, fiscales y tribunales corruptos. Por eso no quiere cambiar las leyes corruptas. La corrupción solo se elimina cambiando las leyes, el congreso, los jueces, los fiscales y los tribunales corruptos.
Si no hay cambios radicales, seguirá la corrupción. Si el estado no protege a los más vulnerables de los más poderosos y no controla los recursos fundamentales del país, el Perú seguirá siendo un pais subdesarrollado.
Castillo’s hat is sick
Keiko Fujimori is facing court on charges for money laundry and leading a criminal organisation. Either she goes to prison for 30 years or becomes Peruvian president. These things only happen in Peru.
This is like choosing between a permanent STD or stuttering
Donald Trump
😢
If the rock had hit you in the face it might have made you less ugly lol
