We expect that in the next years, the economy will improve. And we expect that extreme poverty will drop from 22 percent to 11 percent by the year 2000.
This operation was planned down to the last millimeter,

I am considering running in the April parliamentary elections,
One by one I will disprove the accusations, and I will restore my innocence and my honor,
I am qualified as a candidate for president, ... I want to work for the Peruvian people.
