Quote of the Day/Week- Keiko Fujimori




Today, we continue our quips from famous Latin Americans with a quote from Keiko Fujimori (b. 1975) who ran a losing bid for the presidency of Peru this year as her father, the ousted, controversial right-wing former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori (b.1938) remains in jail after being convicted for human rights abuses in 2009. He is scheduled to serve 25 years, but his daughter has vowed to release him if she is elected president herself.

The younger Fujimori is also famous for being the youngest first lady in the Americas as he was promoted to the post in 1994 at age 19 following her parents' divroce. She is also an alumnus of Boston University.

Here is her quote:

"Now, they treat us with respect and flirt with us. But we take these advances with a grain of salt."
