LIMA, 9 Feb. (Reuters) - Brazilian companies listed as major financial support of the electoral campaign of the candidate favored to win Peru's presidential elections, former President Alejandro Toledo (2001-2006). Toledo financing is not astronomical but analysts say shows the great interest of Brazilian companies that have invested billions of dollars, mainly in the field of construction in the South American country.
According to information from the electoral body, Brazilian firms Camargo Correa, Galvan Construction and Galvao Engenharia Queipuz have contributed some $ 192,000 (EUR 140,000) from December to the campaign of Toledo, who leads polls of likely voters for upcoming elections April 10. "The Brazilians are very large interests in Peru.
The largest infrastructure such as roads are doing Brazilian firms", told Reuters the analyst and director of the International Datum pollster Manuel Torrado. Information published on the website of the local Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE), states that Toledo is the candidate who has received the largest contributions, making a campaign budget of 2,516 million soles, $ 905 million (658, 8 million euros) by the end of January.
In the list of contributors to the campaign of Toledo are other foreign firms, whose funds have been raised in Peru, due to economic stability, despite some internal conflicts in demand for higher welfare benefits. Toledo is a favorite, but the presidency will be defined in a runoff on June 5 with one of his closest rival, the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, Keiko Fujimori, or the former mayor of Lima Luis Castañeda.
"The election campaigns in Peru are very poor, the numbers are small compared to other countries in the region. Here is a major candidate can spend up to about $ 3 million (2.1 million euros), at least that is declared "Torrado said. According to the ONPE, Castañeda is the second highest contribution of money for the campaign, with $ 441 million (321.5 million euros).
Figure Humala third with 365 million dollars (about 266 million euros) and Fujimori fifth with 196 million dollars (146.8 million euros).
