Peruvian President Calls to BuildContinental Anti-Corruption Alliance

The hemispheric meeting focuses on democratic governability against corruption, which is why the South American leader focused on denouncing an evil that, he said, has been delaying the development of our peoples for decades and truncating the dreams of millions of citizens.
Vizcarra, who took office three weeks ago in the wake of a corruption scandal that forced President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski to resign, recalled that in Peru and other countries that scourge 'has enormous consequences on governability, people's quality of life and development'.
We should not live with corruption as if it were something natural or inevitable, because we can do much more to fight it. We are determined to make decisions that effectively combat this international threat, he continued.
He added that, fortunately, in this scenario, 'a concrete hope emerges, today the majority of citizens are not indifferent to corruption, it is one of their greatest concerns, and seven out of ten people in the hemisphere are willing to support actions against that practice.'
