This pledge came during campaigning. Fujimori leads in some polls, according to reports from France 24. The proposal addresses migration flows into Peru, particularly from neighboring countries.
Venezuela's economic crisis has driven many to seek refuge in Peru since 2015. Fujimori's party, Fuerza Popular, has previously held significant influence in Peruvian politics.
Her father, Alberto Fujimori, served as president from 1990 to 2000. The family name carries both support and controversy in national discourse.
Voter turnout and outcomes could shape Peru's approach to security and migration policies. If Fujimori wins, her administration may need to consider international agreements on migration and human rights.
Expulsion plans could affect relations with countries like Venezuela and international bodies such as the United Nations. The election results will determine the direction of Peru's governance for the coming term. Observers note that security and economic stability are key voter priorities.
The incoming president will address violence linked to organized crime and informal mining. Migration policy implementation would depend on legislative support and judicial review.
