He first ran for the Congress of Peru in 1985 as a member of the Christian People's Party, but was not elected. In 1990, he once ran again for Congress of Peru under the FREDEMO coalition and was elected. In 2004 he was elected President of the Congress of the Republic of Peru,[5] the only opposition Congress President during the presidency of Alejandro Toledo. On 2 December 2006, he received the post of Permanent Representative of Peru to the Organization of American States. Beginning in December 2007, he has served as Defense Minister of Peru as well.[6]
Minister of Defense
Flores-Aráoz assumed the position of Minister of Defense of Peru on December 20, 2007, replacing Allan Wagner Tizón, [7] who became the Peruvian Representative before the International Court of The Hague in the case of limits. maritime and land with Chile.
Flores-Aráoz is recognized for being Alan García's Minister of Defense during the 2009 Baguazo massacre.[8] Following the massacre of revolting natives that resulted in the deaths of thirty-three, he resigned from office.[8]
Prime Minister of Peru
Following the removal of Martín Vizcarra, Flores-Aráoz was named prime minister by Manuel Merino on 11 November 2020.[9][10] After Merino resigned and was replaced by Francisco Sagasti as president, Sagasti appointed Violeta Bermúdez, a constitutional lawyer, to replace Flores-Aráoz as prime minister on 18 November 2020.[11]
The government of Francisco Sagasti announced following Merino's resignation that the attorney general would investigate if Flores-Aráoz was responsible for possible human rights violations.[12]
Political positions
Flores Aráoz holds conservative political positions, and although he was known as a pragmatist and a moderate christian democrat early in his political career, he eventually shifted to far right politics since his exit from the Christian People's Party in 2007.[13] He also has been active in denouncing terrorism in Peru.[14]
Education
Regarding education, Flores-Aráoz supported the low-quality and potentially fraudulent private universities that were closed by government regulators, stating they "deserve a second chance".[13] In one exchange with a reporter in 2006 about discussing a free trade agreement with Peruvians that was reported by Página/12 as having "exposed his racism", he described voters as "llamas and vicuñas", stating "You can't ask them a technical issue. It's outrageous. You can't ask all citizens. Those who can't read and write, you're not going to ask that".[8][13][15]
Sexual rights
The stances of Flores-Aráoz on sexual rights have been described as conservative.[16] In 2016, he stated "I am absolutely against gay marriage", explaining that he believed "in what is natural, what God did".[16] He also prosecuted dancer and model Leisy Suarez for taking photos of herself naked while sitting on the Peruvian flag.[17]
