Overview
- Fujimori arrived without prior public notice in Ayaviri, Puno, on March 18 and met privately at the Fundo San Antonio with fewer than 30 attendees.
- Unlike prior rallies, the event drew no mass audience and was conducted on private property a few kilometers from the provincial capital of Melgar.
- Local outlets report a Radio Universal journalist was blocked and pushed by members of her entourage while attempting to question her.
- Pressed on why she skipped the town market on a busy day, Fujimori said the stop followed her team’s planning and then departed with limited remarks.
- The following day she appeared in Arequipa with minimal advance notice, telling local media she “always” faces voters as municipal officials said they had not been informed of any activity.
