Congressman Ricardo Pando Córdova, who is a supporter of Fujimori-style politics, was stabbed by his wife last Tuesday. Milagros Morales says she stabbed her husband out of self-defense. She stated that “two weeks ago, I asked him if we could separate.” She claims that she has been mistreated and abused throughout their 21 year marriage.

Neighbors, according to Peru.21, stated that Pando Córdova was not the only aggressive one in the relationship. Shouts and load discussions were common in the household. The stab wound was five centimeters deep and very close to his left kidney. He was taken by his 18 year old daughter to the Stella Maris clinic in Pueblo Libre, where he went through emergency surgery. Today he is found to be in a stable condition.

His wife does not deny the act and states that a few months ago she pressed charges against him for physical abuse but was pressured by the Public Ministry to retract the charges. Various Fujimori supporters state that Pando Córdova’s wife was responsible for many scandals within Congress, and that she constantly assaulted him.
