Lima. El izquierdista Pedro Castillo, un maestro de escuela rural que salió del anonimato hace cuatro años al liderar una huelga del magisterio, asumió este miércoles como nuevo presidente de Perú, el primero sin lazos con las élites política, económica y cultural.

“No más pobres en un país rico”, repitió como mantra en esta campaña el abanderado de Perú Libre, un minoritario partido que se define como marxista leninista.
