ai generated text

Alberto Fujimori, the 86-year-old former president of Peru, has passed away. He died on Wednesday, September 11, at his home in Lima, according to his daughter Keiko. Fujimori's death was announced on social media, with Keiko stating that he had been battling cancer. Fujimori's presidency, which lasted from 1990 to 2000, was marked by a brutal campaign against leftist insurgents, but he was also convicted of human rights abuses and corruption. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2009, but was released on parole in 2017. Fujimori's legacy is complex, with some viewing him as a strong leader who saved Peru from economic collapse and terrorism, while others see him as an authoritarian who disregarded democratic institutions.

    1. My government is the product of rejection, of being fed up with Peru because of the frivolity, corruption and non-functioning of the traditional political class and the bureaucracy.
    2. I am aware that what resulted during my administration, on one hand, was well-received but I recognize that on the other hand, I have also disappointed other compatriots. To them, I ask forgiveness from the bottom of my heart.
