“Los Olivos is the most consolidated district, with a little more than sector B, within northern Lima. With better indicators of socioeconomic level. Their demands may be related more to medium-sized entrepreneurs than to security”indicated Hernán Chaparro, researcher and professor at the University of Lima.
Guillermo Loli, manager of Opinion Research at Ipsos, argued that Urresti ended up “caricature” and “mistreatment” of his security message. “While Lopez Aliagaon the outskirts, opted to activate Castañedista memory with proposals on water, stairs and solidarity hospitals”, Loli pointed out.
For Chaparro, there is a certain popular sector that is linked to Lopez Aliaga on the side of the successful businessman, to which he has added his “client logic that helped him connect in the campaign”.
