La Libertad regional political tensions

Overview

Political tensions are increasing in the La Libertad region of Peru leading up to regional and municipal elections. Candidates have engaged in mutual accusations, with Eduardo Cassinelli Rodríguez of the Partido Cívico Obras labeling several contenders for the Trujillo mayoralty and the Regional Government as “impresentables” (unpresentable).

Cassinelli specifically criticized Mario Reyna Rodríguez (APP) and Robert De La Cruz Rosas (Podemos Perú) regarding the Trujillo mayoral race, while accusing César Acuña of utilizing political polarization to maintain power. Additionally, regional candidate Elías Rodríguez Zavaleta (Podemos Perú) has called for investigations into Acuña’s management, citing stalled infrastructure projects such as hospitals in Santa Isabel, Otuzco, and Virú, as well as the Huanchaco-Trujillo road access.
