Lo Justo por el Perú (also known simply as Lo Justo, lit. 'The Just for Peru') is a Peruvian radical centrist political party currently in the process of registration. On 18 January 2024, the party received a reserved name and began the registration process within branches and party committees. The main party initiators are former ministers Marisol Pérez Tello and Flor Pablo.[1]
History[edit]
The Lo Justo party emerged in early 2024 as a faction of the Purple Party opposed to party president Luis Durán, who reorganized the party to the detriment of the party's communications wing that had supported Julio Guzmán's presidential campaign in the 2021 presidential election. Following the failure of Guillermo Flores' candidacy for mayor of Lima due to documentary errors s, Flor Pablo proposed relaunching the party with another name and logo, because Guzmán had registered the trademark with INDECOPI and refused to give it up. By the end of 2023, Pablo, along with Marisol Pérez Tello, Eduardo Dargent and Daniel Olivares, began talks to form a new party if they failed to change the name and logo of the Purple Party. On 10 January 2024, Pablo sent a letter to Durán urging him to change the name and logo of the Purple Party. On 18 January, José Luis Márquez Molina, Pérez Tello's adviser, put forward Lo Justo's name before the National Jury of Elections (JNE).[2] On 2 February, Pablo resigns from the Purple Party;[3] on 14 February, Olivares would do the same; launching the Lo Justo party.[2] Alberto de Belaúnde[4] and Gino Costa also joined Lo Justo party.[5]
Lo Justo leaders, Pablo and Pérez Tello, mentioned that they seek to be a decentralized party, which is why they have also added regional politicians such as Jean Paul Benavente (former governor of Cuzco),[6] Jesús Ascuña López (local official in Tacna)[7] or Luz Diana Gamboa (former dean of the Ayacucho Bar Association).[8]
The party is currently in the registration process and hopes to register before July 2024, as that is the date on which the minimum membership period of 1 year expires in order to be able to apply for the 2026 Peruvian general election, according to the National Jury of Elections's schedule.[9]
