Overview
- López Aliaga, speaking at a rally, claimed Samuel Dyer put up “millions of dollars” and installed a nephew to run a network of personeros, the poll watchers who guard vote counts at each table.
- Responding in a notarized letter, Dyer denied funding or organizing any personeros and demanded a public correction within 48 hours with equal visibility to the original claim.
- The letter states he will consider legal action to defend his honor if no retraction is issued.
- No formal retraction from López Aliaga has been reported, though his lawyer apologized personally and called the remarks inappropriate.
- Perú21 reports Renovación Popular plans to reply within the legal window in “good terms,” assigning the draft to Norma Yarrow and Mally del Pomar.
