Points of view

Rolando ArellanoCEO of Arellano Consultoría, pointed out that the growth that Peru has had in recent years, after migrations to Lima and other cities, has been free-hand, by each of the Peruvians, but with a very strong feeling of individual power. .

For this reason, he stressed that collective Peruvianity “It is the step we are missing” and that this is reflected, in turn, in the State. “This has caused the Peruvian to feel very proud of what he does, he says, I am a worker, an entrepreneur. But what is social is not something that we Peruvians have worked hard on, it has been years of growth, each one on their own.”he remarked.

And, precisely, he emphasized that Peruvian gastronomy “It is perhaps the most important collective effort in Peru.”

For his part, the analyst Carlos Basombrío expressed his concern about the diminishing feeling of attachment to the country, and said that “is awesome” How the five aspects related to shame among Peruvians have to do, in one way or another, “with the terrible and increasingly decadent politics”. “The reasons for pride and shame are quite predictable”he asserted.
