Partido Morado
Peru’s Congress chose legislator Francisco Sagasti as the Andean country’s caretaker president 17 November 2020, in an attempt to defuse a sharp political crisis after angry protests and the departure of two presidents in the past week. People waved the nation’s red-and-white flag and blared horns outside the gates of Congress on Monday as the 76-year-old Sagasti, from the centrist Morado Party, won enough votes to head Congress. This means he will assume the presidency of Peru before national elections called for April 2021.
Peru's main obstacle to building Our Own Path is inequality, the devaluation of our diversity of diversities and the lack of awareness about the opportunities that investment in people offers in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution. Our Own Way will achieve a country where the future of Peruvian children does not depend on the place where they were born.
According to the final results of the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE), the Purple Party obtained 697,289 votes, which represents 5.42% of the preferences. With this, they are the tenth political organization to reach seats (3) in the Legislative Power for the period 2021-2026.
On May 24, 2016, the date on which the party an electoral kit, it began a great challenge, to build the political party of the bicentennial, hand in hand with hundreds, thousands and now millions of Peruvians. Throughout this time militants traveled all over the country collecting signatures, dialoguing with citizens, inaugurating premises, swearing in authorities. It also consolidated an ideology that contains a vision, principles and objectives, as well as a republican proposal that is committed to the talent of Peruvians and to equal opportunities for all.
Thanks to the effort and collective determination, the organization is present in all regions of the country, with more than 108 provincial committees, and that continues to grow with solid foundations. The "purple ones" do not give up and we will continue to show the country that it is possible to do different policy.
In order to achieve the Republican ideal, the Purple Party has the following objectives:
- Defend the democratic system, freedoms and human rights.
- Invest massively in the development of the talents of Peruvians through of the educational revolution beginning in the womb of the mother, and the development of the science, technology and innovation.
- Ensure the universal provision of a basic set of high-quality public services in health, education, housing, pensions, transport, justice.
- Promote a transparent state free of corruption.
- Promote modern, close and dialoguing public management, which facilitates and does not complicate life to Peruvians
- To consolidate a strong economy whose impetus comes from productive diversification, the strong support for entrepreneurship, and the use of information technologies
- Combat inequality, abuse, privileges and all forms of discrimination.
- Promote national integration by prioritizing physical and virtual connectivity.
- Take advantage of the diversity of diversities of our country, recognizing it, preserving it and using it rationally.
- Contribute and support the positive renewal of the political class and the political system in the country.
The Purple Party aspires to build and achieve the Republic of the XXI Century, surpassing the obstacles that prevent us from moving forward as a country, and consolidating a homeland where its citizens and citizens freely carry out their life projects and achieve happiness, which in the end is what it's going to make a true nation.
In the last four decades, technological change, globalization, and climate change have driven profound structural changes on a world scale that have generated both progress and opportunities, but also turbulence, uncertainty and instability in all areas of human activity. However, it has also created a sense that the benefits of global economic expansion are very unevenly distributed. Countries are undergoing transformations that force them to question and rethink each of their development approaches.
The republicanism of Our Own Way guarantees equal opportunities, recognizes and promotes both personal and collective effort in the achievement of better living conditions. It rejects both the political immobility that aspires to maintain the status quo, as well as authoritarian or subversive political transformations. It recognizes that Peru is one of the most inequitable societies on the planet, and therefore extreme inequalities are harmful and counterproductive from every point of view: moral, economic, social, cultural and political.
The “republican promise” of Our Own Way must guarantee the execution of four great reforms in order to build citizenship and well-being: Knowledge reform is the first. The country must have control in the creation of human capacities and the production of information - the most important sources of wealth - to propel its own progress. This requires drastic adjustments in educational and child health policies, and the launch of an ambitious public policy to promote productive innovation, science and technology.
The second is land management reform. To take advantage of its diversity of diversity, a sine-qua-non condition for its development, Peru must learn - yes, learn, because it never did - to know and manage all its resources. Land use planning cannot wait. The decentralization process was affected by the absence of other reforms and the generation of local and regional capacities. It requires political will and strong leadership as it has been affected by corruption, inefficiency and lack of accountability. Furthermore, decentralization was implemented hastily. The national infrastructure must be declared in emergency, followed by an ambitious plan for the construction of works of national strategic interest.
Access to economic freedoms is the third great reform. To progress, the country must maximize the productive potential of all Peruvians, and not just a few. This implies establishing rules of the game –economic institutions– that guarantee equal conditions for private initiative. This requires moving towards a fairer tax system, strengthening property rights, reinforcing the fight against market dominance practices, and integrating and substantially expanding support programs for productive development to promote - now, seriously - diversification of the economy.
The reform of political institutions is the fourth great reform. Development will not be possible without quality public policies –consensual, sustainable, predictable and cost-effective–, and these only arise from highly representative and inclusive political processes. The reform must concentrate, in an integral way, in three areas: promoting a solid political representation - lower the barriers to the entry of new actors, with solid ideologies, and raise the requirements for their permanence -, guarantee human rights for all, in particularly those of the most vulnerable people, women and minorities, and reduce the privileges, galleries and bureaucratic burden of Congress that insult the dignity of Peruvians and violate one of the basic principles of republican behavior, such as austerity.
