Spanish opposition leader to meet Fujimori, back Ibero-American democracies

Spain's opposition leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is set to meet with Peru's newly inaugurated President Keiko Fujimori in Lima. Feijóo's attendance at the July 28 inauguration is intended to demonstrate the commitment of his conservative Popular Party (PP) to "freedom and Ibero-American democracies."

Cuca Gamarra, the PP's deputy secretary for Institutional Regeneration, confirmed the meeting, emphasizing Feijóo's and the party's dedication to defending democracy beyond Spain's borders. This stance, she argued, is not a partisan issue but a matter for "democrats."

is much more than the attendance at an investiture

Spain's Head of State, King Felipe VI, will officially represent the Spanish government at Fujimori's swearing-in, accompanied by the Secretary of State for International Cooperation, Eva Granados. Feijóo's trip, however, is framed as more than just an official appearance; it's an effort to reaffirm the strengthening of ties between Spain and democratic nations in Ibero-America.

is a matter of democrats

Gamarra highlighted that Peru's "democratic quality" stands in contrast to the situations in neighboring countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. The PP aims to send a clear message: "more democracy against populism; more democracy against authoritarianism; and more democracy against those who believe power belongs to them," she stated.
