Peru´s President grants medical pardon for jailed Fujimori

On December 24, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve, the current President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, gave freedom to the Exdictador Alberto Fujimori for "humanitarian reasons." Fujimori suffers from degenerative and incurable health problems.
The 79-year-old Fujimori, who governed from 1990 to 2000, is a polarizing figure in Peru. Some Peruvians laud him for defeating the Maoist Shining Path guerrilla movement, while others loathe him for human rights violations carried out under his government and some human rights groups quickly criticized the pardon.

His daughter, Keiko Fujimori, narrowly lost Peru’s last presidential election to Kuczynski, and her party dominates congress. Her party mounted an attempt this month to oust Kuczynski over business ties to the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht, which is at the center of a huge Latin American corruption scandal, but the president survived the impeachment vote late Thursday.

What awaits us all Peruvians?

How will it influence the Peruvian economy for the coming years?
