Vicente Fox travels to Peru for Keiko Fujimori's inauguration, citing 'promotion of human rights'

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox is en route to Lima, Peru, to attend the inauguration of President-elect Keiko Fujimori. Fox, who led Mexico from 2000 to 2006, announced his attendance via social media, stating his purpose is to support the "promotion of justice, democracy, freedom, market economy, human rights, and the rule of law." His presence signals solidarity with Fujimori's conservative platform.

Fujimori, daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, is set to assume the presidency, ushering in what some are calling the "second wave of Fujimorismo." Her victory comes after a period of significant political instability in Peru, which has seen eight presidents in the past decade. Her inauguration on Tuesday will mark the beginning of her term, which is expected to last until 2031.

“

Yes, we will do it in Lima, Peru, at the inauguration of President Keiko Fujimori!

Fujimori's election, secured by a narrow margin and bolstered by overseas votes, reflects a broader trend of conservative and far-right leaders gaining influence across Latin America. Several other conservative leaders, including Argentina's Javier Milei and Chile's José Antonio Kast, are also expected to attend her investiture, underscoring a regional shift in political alignment.

We are on our way to South America for the promotion of justice, democracy, freedom, market economy, human rights, and the rule of law.
