Keiko Fujimori, leader of the Fuerza Popular political party, has expressed hope that the upcoming visit of Pope Leo XIV will usher in a period of “unity and reconciliation” for Peru. The pontiff’s visit is considered a potentially pivotal moment for the nation.

She anticipates the visit will be significant for the country’s political and social landscape. The statement suggests a desire to leverage the Pope’s influence to bridge divides within Peru. No specific details regarding the Pope’s agenda or planned meetings were provided in the report.
