This Monday, the journalist César Hildebrandt criticized the habeas corpus that triggered that, last Thursday, the Constitutional Court will order the reinstatement of the pardon granted by former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski to the former dictator Alberto Fujimori in December 2017.
In his weekly podcast, Hildebrandt reiterated that he is in favor of Fujimori Fujimori spending his last years at home and not in the Barbadillo de la Diroes prison, due to his delicate state of health.
“I already said what I thought regarding Fujimori’s release. The problem is formal, (the restitution of) the pardon has been given on the basis of a monstrosity of demand, an outlandish thing. It had eight pages compared to Nakasaki’s 500 or 600. They have accelerated everything to release the matter in the Constitutional Court, of which half are openly Fujimorist”, he said.

The director of the weekly Hildebrandt en sus trece describes, in this way, the appeal presented by the lawyer Gregorio Parco Alarcón, where the lawyer maintains that Keeping Alberto Fujimori imprisoned “is like having prisoner” Túpac Amaru II and Francisco Bolognesi.
“It makes everything dirty that habeas corpus, which is the basis of the decision, is so intellectually petty, so crazy. (…) Sparing in ideas and very sparing in syntax”, he added.
In relation to the release of the former president, the press man asserted that “pardon does not mean that he is not guilty; he is guilty.”

“He is allowed to go home, but he is not innocent, he is not clean. He can’t get into politics, he can’t do anything other than, in short, live his last years,” he said.
Hildebrandt on the liberation of Fujimori: “Compassion belongs to the strong and I feel strong”
At another point in his program, the journalist César Hildebrandt indicated that showing compassion for Alberto Fujimori’s state of health is not for the weak but “for the strong”: “And I feel strong.”
“If there is someone who might hate Fujimori in a detailed and ‘eternal’ way, it is me like so many others. Fujimori made my life impossible, he wanted to kill me. (…) I fought Fujimori when he was in power, not when he was an old man with heart and lung problems. I fought it when I had all the forces, the entire Armed Forces, all the Bermuda plans, etc.”, he pointed out.
