In an election, what is usual is that parties look towards the future. It is also not strange to look at the present if what is sought is to renew the presidency or a majority in Parliament. In certain contexts, some formations, for the future, seek to evoke the past. What is less common is that citizens arrive at the polling station and find that the two options they have to vote for evoke different pasts in their country's history, however different they may be. This is the scenario that Peru finds itself in this Sunday, as it celebrates the second round of the presidential elections.
