The passing of Alberto Fujimori has rekindled political divisions in Peru, especially in the entertainment world, where different personalities have expressed their opinions about the controversial former president. Among the most notorious clashes is the one involving actors Gabriel Calvo and Lucho Caceres who engaged in a heated discussion via Instagram.
The dispute began after a comment by Gabriel Calvo on his YouTube podcast, where he and Pablo Saldarriaga were discussing the negative reactions of some entertainment figures, such as Tatiana Astengo and Mónica Sánchez, regarding Fujimori’s death. This debate was not well received by Lucho Cáceres, who used his social networks to express his disagreement in a forceful manner.

He was a corrupt murderer, a thief and a coward,” said Cáceres, referring to Fujimori.
