"I want to assure your excellency that I am occupying myself permanently and jointly with my team to achieve a solution as soon as possible to this crisis, the principal objective being the safeguarding of the health and life of those who are inside"
About this Quote
The insistence on “a solution as soon as possible” gives urgency without committing to specifics. It’s speed as a virtue, not as a measurable promise. Then comes the rhetorical anchor: “the principal objective being the safeguarding of the health and life of those who are inside.” In hostage or standoff contexts, that line functions as moral preemption. It establishes a humanitarian priority that can later justify almost any outcome: patient negotiation if things drag on, force if violence erupts, even collateral damage reframed as regrettable necessity in pursuit of “safeguarding.”
Fujimori governed Peru in a period defined by insurgency, emergency powers, and a strongman’s bargain: security now, civil liberties later. This sentence carries that DNA. It’s calibrated to project control without revealing tactics, compassion without vulnerability, and to position the state - and the leader - as the sole credible guardian of life in the room.
