Keiko Fujimori hopes that a resolution releasing her father from prison will soon be issued: “You have to be patient and prudent”

Former presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori spoke to the media about the ruling of the Constitutional Court (TC) on his father and former president, Alberto Fujimori, who was recently pardoned. Fujimori is in the National Penitentiary Institute (Inpe) and an official approached him to notify him of something, the leader of Fuerza Popular assured that she is not aware of this.

“I don't have any knowledge because I have gone to deliver food, they don't inform me of that kind of procedure. My father will continue to face this process as he has always done,” he said.

On the other hand, on the resolution of the TC judgment, he mentioned that caution and patience must be exercised in his decision, because it is a process that takes a few days.

“Once the TC announces a decision, it takes a few days for the resolution to be issued; I remember it also from my own case when I had my freedom. So what is now up to us is to wait with great caution and patience, we hope that this solution will be issued as soon as possible,” he said.

ALBERTO FUJIMORI HEALTH

Keiko Fujimori confirmed that his father's condition is stable, as mentioned by Inpe workers. “Although he is stable, when he calls me on the phone I feel a little anxious and that is why it is important for us to do all this coordination of the corresponding medical check-ups once he is released,” he said.

He also stated that he has not been able to see his father, since he was only allowed to make the corresponding delivery of food. “They have not allowed me to make the visit nor have they allowed me to enter to deliver their food,” he said.

Finally, he commented that in the afternoon, Dr. Cesar Nakazaki will rule on legal issues involving his father. “Tomorrow there is going to be a hearing, all that is going to be told by Dr. Nakazaki,” he concluded.

WHAT DID KEIKO SAY ABOUT HIS FATHER'S PARDON?

From outside her home in San Borja, the former presidential candidate told the press that, at this time, the main thing for her family is to ensure the health of the patriarch of the family, who is delicate and “quite fragile”.

“Now my brothers and I are aware of where my dad is going to stay. See also all the details of continuing to monitor your health. You will remember, a few days ago, he had an atrial fibrillation crisis, combined with pulmonary fibrosis, because his situation is quite fragile,” he said.

“Now that he will be in our responsibility, we will make sure that his health is fairly controlled. (...) In these hours or days, we have to see the place or the place, the medical checkups, because we know that he had a medical check. We'll try to postpone it, but not for long. For us, the most important thing is my father's health,” he added.

As for the negative comments she has been receiving because of her father's pardon, Keiko Fujimori said that the detractors “have the right” to speak out about it and chose not to comment on the subject.

“At the moment I am not going to enter into controversy. As you will understand, as a family, we are grateful to God, mainly, because this decision is one of justice after several years that we have been longing for and waiting. Above all, because of the years my father is and because of his state of health,” he said.
