Carlos Álvarez and Brother Say Old Rift Is Resolved as Campaign Plans Lima Finale

The campaign shifts focus to a Lima closing rally to blunt the impact of a resurfaced family video.

Overview

  • Carlos Álvarez and his brother Arturo said in new interviews Monday that they reconciled months ago after a year‑old family argument.
  • Carlos told reporters he loves his family and will not air private matters, describing the revived clip as a low blow meant to hurt his run.
  • He confirmed his campaign will hold its closing rally in Lima and said organizers are still finalizing the details.
  • Arturo said the dispute was strictly personal, not political or financial, and pledged to support his brother while keeping his vote secret.
  • In a Facebook video, Carlos alleged a coordinated smear effort that recycled the clip and even used an AI‑doctored “ampay” image to discredit him, underscoring how old content can be repackaged in Peru’s elections.
