Poverty doesn’t imply necessarily violence.

The investor knows quite well that we don’t have anymore the widespread terrorism here in Peru.

It is no longer a possibility or an option.

one could make 50 every day.

without dialogue, there will never be a solution.

It is my aim to temporarily remain in Chile as part of my efforts to return to Peru and keep my promise to an important part of the Peruvian people who have called on me...

I consider necessary the full democratization of the country, … We realize the institutions should be updated with the times.

We expect that in the next years, the economy will improve. And we expect that extreme poverty will drop from 22 percent to 11 percent by the year 2000.

I am qualified as a candidate for president, … I want to work for the Peruvian people.

The only thing that’s missing is (Fujimori’s son) Kenji with his telescope to complete the circle, … Never have we seen a president like this one playing cowboy or cop.

I want to go back (to Peru)someday, but I don’t know when,

I have a support rating of 30% in Peru, … I shall return.

One by one I will disprove the accusations, and I will restore my innocence and my honor,

This is one huge problem out of the way. Both countries are winners because both have achieved peace,

We have shown, given these last three years, that we were succeeding in fighting terrorists. While during the first 30 years of the former governments they didn’t.

My political foes could not give any sufficient proof of the accusations and have tried to hide the proof that I am innocent,

One man alone cannot be allowed to create this kind of climate when we are in a process of transition,

We thought that the situation was deteriorating very quickly, … All possibilities of a peaceful solution were exhausted.

try to come to an agreement for the framework for our dialogue.

The charges are groundless, … To arrest Fujimori would be to set off a political earthquake.

The liberation of those who commit murder and terrorism is unacceptable,

[The rebels] were armed to the hilt, and we had to act, … There was no other way out.

Right now, things are uncertain,

It is my purpose to remain temporarily in Chile, as part of the process for my return to Peru,

I will go back as I enjoy a 30 percent support rate at home,
