Sea World for the past or political apathy, the electoral environment has heated up late in every corner of Peru. Rodrigo Duran, a student of Communications at UPN, I was interviewed on the subject for one of their courses in journalism. Without pretensions of guru, these were my answers to your questions. Lack little to the October elections in which the community will have the opportunity to bring his pleasure or discomfort in the amphorae. If you were a campaign advisor to a candidate what actions would you recommend?
First instead prepare a simple political speech, without technicality, that the mass can be understood without exceptions. Secondly, look to be in constant contact with the public through marches, caravans, social activities. Third, avoid being a participant of the dirty war. The bickering of the opposing candidates to end up wearing the image of both. I do believe in the counter-but I think it should be made by third parties. Fourth, make effective advertising investment: in policy that reverses gains no more, but better investing. Seek a good relationship with the media. Any publicity is welcome.
Do you think that the municipal elections in Trujillo are the same or are different from other cities in Peru?
were different until 2002. Since the return of democracy in 1980, APRA had given preference to its hegemony. Trujillo was virtually one-party and Torres Vallejo, Santa Maria, Miriam Pilch and Murgia first four re-elections were won by a landslide. The APRA began to crumble with the fifth Murgia who won re-election but narrowly Eduardo Cassinelli. Hence it was exacerbating the wear and caused them to win without discussion Acuña in 2006.
Why should this decline of APRA in the region?
believe that four key factors. One: The old Trujillo, those that burn candles to Víctor Raúl and the martyrs of 32, are a minority and are becoming extinct. Grandchildren and did not agree with the idolatry of addition grandparents that are no longer trujillanos "Trujillo", half of the population radicant comes from elsewhere or are children of immigrants with no roots APRA. Two: the lack of renewal of pictures. The same faces, the same corrupt as ever. Murgia, figure Main Party in the region, is a man who is approaching 80 years and running for reelection regional. There is a panel where you see your face and Benjamin Gayoso for regional director and both seem taken from a nursing home. Three: the poor image of APRA nationwide. APRA is synonymous with corruption in the popular imagination of large tenders, shoddy construction, of favoring by tarjetazo, card-carrying party of upstarts. Fourth, and most serious, which have governed the city for 26 consecutive years and have not accomplished anything for the development of the city. Arequipa for example, is a city that has suffered at least one party and takes him to 15 years in advance Trujillo. APRA abused and overdrawn to credit Trujillo had given him.
APRA But candidates have a chance of winning this election?
Yet it would be irresponsible to be dead to APRA in Trujillo. Murgia as Daniel Salaverry both stand to gain. Murgia leading in polls because no sympathy José León, Eduardo Rabines Llempen no more media and advocacy. I think he will win even though it was possible to beat him by attacking his advanced age and the cumulative inefficiency of many steps.
You do not think any other candidate you can seize the regional presidency?
is very difficult. Leon, nasty falling apart, dragging the reputation of Pendavis . Some people remember the procurement scandal that forced him to resign the ministry of agriculture during the Toledo administration. Rabines no media presence. Llempen would be likely if it provides longer alone. I think Acuña will not allow a candidate is opaque leadership within his own party, is the fear that Hitler and Gregor Strasser was within the Nazi party. The propaganda message is clear Llempen "the great change in the region and Acuña Llempen do", that is, if they choose to Llempen he will not be alone, things need to change the flat.
What possibilities does the APRA in the city?
A month ago I would have said very little, but the situation has begun to reverse with the support of central government. The latest polls reflect a decrease in patronage of Acuña and a rise in Salaverry. It speaks of a five-point difference between the first and the second is very little missing más de cuatro semanas para los comicios. Me parece que el candidato de App debe ser más agresivo con su campaña: “No a la corrupción” y recordarle a la población por todos los medios posibles de la inoperancia del aprismo.
Pero según los últimos resultados, parece que eso no basta para asegurar el triunfo de Acuña.
Si pues, las pocas o muchas obras que Acuña ha realizado no parecen argumento suficiente para la masa electoral. El hombre nunca tuvo carisma político pero sí la del empresario exitoso y por eso ganó las elecciones pasadas. Sin embargo, la gente esperaba más him and this race can pass the bill. A few months ago appeared in Cuarto Poder a report which showed that Salaverry was a corrupt candidate, ie, with feet of clay, due to failure of a construction company in the bidding Techo Propio program in the future and Hope. Yo, if App campaign manager, insist on these irregularities and would take other as they say he committed the same candidate in Viru.
Do you think Daniel Salaverry is corrupt?
I am not aware, but his defense to charges not me convinced, as are the famous signature of the secretary for registration. It seems that this irregularity is over because nobody talks piola invalidate his candidacy.
Why do you say that the central government supports the candidature of Salaverry?
Obviously, for the Apra more than symbolic value is vital to recover Trujillo. From the economic point of view, the APRA will spend five years without the bottle service, companies need elected officials like Trujillo or Sedalib Box still under their domain. Rumor that the Star Party will invest four million-almost half soles and half a million dollars in campaign Salaverry. Suspiciously have begun donating a lot of sacks of rice in the poorest areas.
Acuña Do you think is the best option?
's not a bad candidate. I recognize that more work done than in many years APRA but I'd rather vote for an alternative. I support the democratic alternation while respecting and continuing the good work done by the previous administration. I hate politics of the "clean slate."
tangible Is there potential for a third option?
Very few. Electoral contests are always two, never three. Not even the presidency. Lourdes Flores is the candidate of the Right and she always will reap 25% of the national electorate, can not lift more. In 2001 and 2006 could not against the word hypnotic Alan García. In these elections of 2010 is the same. Most people think or Acuña or Salaverry, difficult to position a third option. In 2002, Cassinelli Murgia battle could make it became the second option, in 2006 and now has become our Ross Perot. Carlos Fernandez is advertising but lacks arrival. The third race is definitely Rodríguez Alban, rather than on merit, by the thrust of its district candidates who randomly going to vote for him in the province. He is currently with eight digits, it is not surprising if he finishes the race with fifteen or more.
Who do you plan to vote? For Rodriguez Alban. I know him personally and I think is a good choice for Trujillo. I'm hoping to make the Electoral Forum organized by Trujillo Now! to hear the proposals of all candidates and their viability. I have understood that all government plans will be printed in brochures and delivered to the population. I hope people actually read it and vote in conscience for the candidate best suited to the city.
