Left-wing candidate Hitler Mussolini wins local vote in Peru
Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores won by 25 votes in Queropalca, a district of just over 730 people in the Huánuco department, running for the centre-left Ahora Nación party. He is not Peru’s first elected Hitler.
Centre-right We Are Peru party's Hitler Alba served as mayor of another small Andean town of Yungar between 2011 and 2014.
In 2018, he went up against Lennin Vladimir Rodriguez Valverde, who tried to challenge the validity of his candidacy. Alba won against other candidates, garnering 47.7% of the vote.
Alba, who dubbed himself "the good Hitler," campaigned under the slogans "Hitler returns" and "Hitler with the people".
Lawmaker and surgeon Hitler Saavedra served in Peru's Congress as a member of We Are Peru from 2021 until his death in 2024 at the age of 46.
It is not uncommon for Peruvians to choose historic or otherwise unusual names for their children regardless of negative or controversial connotations.
