She was surrounded by the love of us, her children and her grandchildren until the last moment. We entrust her to the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception today, ”said the president of the Fuerza Popular Party.
Peruvian politics had reported on November 22 through that same social network that her mother had been transferred to a health center due to the severity of her illness.
“On behalf of my family, I inform you that my mother has been transferred to Oncosalud to continue with specialized care for the serious illness that afflicts her.
