Local elections in the Peruvian mountain district of Queropalca were won by 45-year-old Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores. The candidate of the center-left Ahora Nación party received 34.54 percent of the votes cast and became the new mayor of a municipality with approximately 730 inhabitants. Le Figaro ↗
Queropalca is located in the Huánuco department in the Peruvian Andes, at an altitude of almost 4,000 meters above sea level. The result attracted international attention mainly because of the winner's unusual name, which refers to the German Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and the Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini. NOS ↗
Flores ran for the center-left political group despite having been linked in the past to fujimorismo. In the election, he defeated the candidate of the far-right camp. The race was close, as the difference between the top three candidates was only 42 votes. El Pais ↗
However, according to available information, the victory did not bring Flores peace. After the election, he was reportedly subjected to harassment by extortionists. No further details were provided about this pressure or any possible investigation into it.
Flores's election shows that his name was not an obstacle for voters in the local political contest. Once the results are confirmed, he will take up the post of mayor in a small Andean municipality that, thanks to the election, has drawn attention beyond Peru. Politico Europe ↗
