A post will be devoted to Peru. Well, you won't learn many things about the country but still counts.
Close your eyes and try to imagine Latin America. Can you name all of the countries? What do you know about them? About their culture or geography? Supposedly you will know that they speak a bizzare type of spanish.
Now more specifficaly...
What exactly do you know about Peru?
That it’s situated near to the ocean in
South America? Yes, you’re totally right.
Maybe that its capital city is Lima?
Yes, it is.
Have you ever heard about Machu Picchu?
For sure.
But…
Did you know that the current Peruvian president
has polish roots?
Unfortunately for our country, few people are aware of that.
Pedro Pablo Kuczynski is our main
character today. Yes, in fact, his father was a famous polish doctor, who in
addition was born in Poznań, escaped in 1933 from Nazis. Moreover, he was one
of the earliest public health leaders in Peru.
But let me tell you more about the
current president. His fight for Peruvian
‘throne’ was utterly difficult. He took part in the presidential elections 3
times. First time, he was 3rd. Then, his opponent Keiko Fujimori, a daughter
of expresident, had many votes and PPK lost again. Even though, in last elections
he finally managed to succeed. Previously, he served as a Minister of Economy
and Finance and later on, he became a Prime Minister.
What can we say about his promises for
Peru?
He said that he would increase the
minimum wage, implement tax breaks for
small businesses and reduce the national sales tax from 18% to 15%.
Furthermore, he strives for the equality in Peru, as
in his DNA is written help for needy people.
I think that it’s a great thing to have
such a person as a Peru president. We can be proud of him and his relation with
our country even if he was born in Peru and surely he’s more connected to its
nation.
I hope you could learn something about
him and Peru. If you need more information don’t hesitate to ask ‘uncle google’.
Merry Christmas everyone!
