  • Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's People's Party (PP), met with Peru's President-elect Keiko Fujimori in Lima.
  • The meeting occurred the day before Fujimori's presidential inauguration, marking the start of her five-year term.
  • Núñez Feijóo had previously supported Fujimori's candidacy, which she won on her fourth attempt after a close election.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the president of Spain's People's Party (PP), met with Peru's President-elect Keiko Fujimori in Lima on Monday. The encounter took place during a lunch hosted by the Business Council Alliance for Ibero-America (Ceapi) and the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF), occurring just ahead of Fujimori's official presidential inauguration.

Fujimori, the political heir of former President Alberto Fujimori, is set to begin her five-year term (2026-2031) on Tuesday, Peru's national day. Núñez Feijóo, who traveled to Lima with other PP members, including former minister Ana Pastor, shared the table with Fujimori and other dignitaries, such as the Ibero-American Secretary General Andrés Allamand.

Núñez Feijóo had publicly backed Fujimori's presidential bid from Spain. Her victory came on her fourth attempt at the presidency, securing a narrow win with less than 50,000 votes over her leftist opponent, Roberto Sánchez. Following her triumph, the PP leader had a congratulatory phone call with Fujimori, emphasizing Spain's continued engagement with "the family of Peru."
