Alberto Fujimori Quotations

With this peace, there is no loser but (only) winners,

Many people, myself, had confidence in Montesinos because (he) succeeded very much with fighting terrorism and narcotics,

One by one I will disprove the accusations, and I will restore my innocence and my honor,

Now we are showing to the world that this fighting against two terrorist groups was feasible and now we have an isolated case which doesn't mean that terrorism is alive, as it was before.

I am considering running in the April parliamentary elections,

I am qualified as a candidate for president, ... I want to work for the Peruvian people.

I have strongly rejected the proposal to pardon and transfer her to the United States, ... I do not have the legal power to pardon terrorists and even if I did, I would not use it.

I have a support rating of 30% in Peru, ... I shall return.

fulfill my pledge to an important sector of the Peruvian people that has called on me to participate as candidate to the presidency of the Republic in the coming election in 2006.

I expect that after the election process and the results, the international community will understand.

I expect that after the election and the results that the international community will understand which was the framework of this process and under which law we have done this process.

He made it clear that it is not within his plans to negotiate with the subversive group,

Today is the happiest day of my life.

It is no longer a possibility or an option.

It is my aim to temporarily remain in Chile as part of my efforts to return to Peru and keep my promise to an important part of the Peruvian people who have called on me to be a candidate in the 2006 elections,

It is my purpose to remain temporarily in Chile, as part of the process for my return to Peru,

I will go back as I enjoy a 30 percent support rate at home,

The denunciations about $18 million (being moved) to a bank account in Singapore during my trip are completely false,

And $18 million in three Japanese banks, completely false. That I have two factories in Panama, also completely false. This is part of the counter campaign of some people.

The investor knows quite well that we don't have anymore the widespread terrorism here in Peru.

Poverty doesn't imply necessarily violence.

Up to now we have faced external problems in an isolated fashion. One of these problems is precisely the drug trade and what has been the result? A very weak and fragile position.

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.

The liberation of those who commit murder and terrorism is unacceptable.

What we are doing in fact is recovering and progressing and sustaining the recovery of our democracy.

One of the mistakes I made was placing too much trust in Montesinos.

You can't talk about peace nor agreement while terror is used as the main argument.

In fact, this is a blackmail of the terrorists at the expense of the suffering of the hostages.

We were not going to liberate, release those terrorists because of our law and because of our national security and also the regional security.

We thought that the situation was deteriorating very quickly, ... All possibilities of a peaceful solution were exhausted.

We have shown, given these last three years, that we were succeeding in fighting terrorists. While during the first 30 years of the former governments they didn't.

The only thing that's missing is (Fujimori's son) Kenji with his telescope to complete the circle, ... Never have we seen a president like this one playing cowboy or cop.

without dialogue, there will never be a solution.

Up to now we have faced external problems in an isolated fashion, ... One of these problems is precisely the drug trade and what has been the result? A very weak and fragile position.

To all these charges - my answer is zero - there is absolutely not a single proof of misappropriation of funds,

We expect that in the next years, the economy will improve. And we expect that extreme poverty will drop from 22 percent to 11 percent by the year 2000.

This operation was planned down to the last millimeter,

We have declared a total freeze on military movement,

At the beginning, because the lives of the hostages were at stake, then during this silent period we have taken several measures like not accepting the ultimatum of the terrorists threatening to kill our foreign affairs minister.

As a region we are politically weak. Nevertheless, Brazil is one of the biggest countries in the world and one of its greatest economic powers.

As a region we are politically weak, ... Nevertheless, Brazil is one of the biggest countries in the world and one of its greatest economic powers.

This is one huge problem out of the way. Both countries are winners because both have achieved peace,

There will be absolutely no release of MRTA prisoners, ... We would not like to go back to the past.

I want to go back (to Peru)someday, but I don't know when,

I want to go back (to Peru) someday, but I don't know when,

There was a shoot-out a little more intense than we expected,

at the price of equal representation and democratic structure.

I submit to you, Mr. President of Congress, my formal resignation as president of the republic.

I plan a temporary stay in Chile as part of a return to Peru to keep a promise with a large part of the people of Peru that has called me to participate as a candidate for the presidency,

I consider necessary the full democratization of the country, ... We realize the institutions should be updated with the times.

And $18 million in three Japanese banks, completely false. That I have two factories in Panama, also completely false. This is part of the counter campaign of some people.

The charges are groundless, ... To arrest Fujimori would be to set off a political earthquake.
