At CADE, López Aliaga Unveils Hardline Platform and Vows to Scrap Bicameral Congress

Reporters quickly flagged conflicts between his pledges versus Renovación Popular’s voting record.

Overview

  • He used a 20‑minute CADE slot to share a 17‑slide “Shock legislativo: 100 días” with 84 proposals via QR, leaving several sections unread due to time limits.
  • He promised to reverse the return to bicameralism through a confidence vote or referendum and proposed pegging lawmakers’ pay to their average earnings over the past five years.
  • Security and justice plans included withdrawing Peru from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, reviving anonymous “faceless judges,” building prisons in remote jungle areas, and investing over US$1 billion in police and military intelligence.
  • His economic agenda emphasized a smaller state, digital government, liberalization measures, a TumbesTacna train, a port hub strategy, dozens of new airports, new metro lines, a gold‑backed national cryptocurrency, AFP fund liberalization, and a tax‑free Andean South plan.
  • He denied ties to informal mining and offered US$100,000 for proof, as coverage noted his party’s votes to extend the REINFO registry and the registration of Confemin-linked figures in Renovación Popular.
