Lo que dice Zad Demenny es realmente cierto.Es por eso que perdío en primera vuelta.Porque la persona que gobierne Perú, lo va ha hacer para los que viven en su territorio no para los que viven en el extranjero y que por la distancia ya no viven en nuestra realidad, ni se verán directamente afectados por las decisiones que se tomen. Pienso que los residentes en otros países ya no deberían votar obligatoriamente.

Quite funny that Ms flores puts all of her faith in the foreign votes. This clearly indicates -as any peruvian living in Peru might see- why is she so close to lose this election. She just represents the interests of a small wealthy-pro market elite that has always turned their backs on the real country: those elusive rural votes that now are sealing her announced tragic fate.
