That’s the confident IKN prediction of the week on LatAm politics, as in the last few days we’ve seen President Ollanta Humala make some pretty obvious signals to the Fujimorista party and supporters. The nudge-wink-hint undertone of the message has been that if the Fujimori gang make a formal application for a pardon to the executive, it will be looked upon favourably. So today we hear that they’ve done just that and are making said application to the ministerial cabinet, via its Prime Minister Juan Jiménez.
Count this one in days, not months. As for the moral of the story, we’ll go for “rich people don’t stay in jail in corrupt countries”.
UPDATE three hours later: Errr, toldya. Now world trending topic on twitter and all the news stories you care to mention, ever since Keiko made the news of the application official.
