Roberto Sánchez accuses US ambassador of interfering in Peru's elections; "he put his nose in", he says

Peruvian leftist candidate Roberto Sánchez accused the U.S. ambassador to Peru, Bernie Navarro, of interfering in the country's general elections, which he lost to right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori. Sánchez claimed that despite significant disadvantages, his campaign achieved 50.08% of the vote domestically, while Fujimori secured 50.13% including votes from abroad. He criticized international companies supporting Fujimori's campaign and alleged that Navarro overstepped by engaging in election processes beyond his role as a neutral representative. Sánchez also noted that Navarro was the only U.S. ambassador to meet with Peru's National Electoral Processes Office before the polls and participate as an observer.

Bias read (Left): The article frames the accusation against the U.S. ambassador as an overreach, using strong language like 'meter las narices' (to stick his nose where it doesn't belong), implying interference.
