Alejandro Enrique Cavero Alva (born 6 June 1992) is a Peruvian politician and former journalist currently serving as a member of the Congress of the Republic of Peru representing the Lima Metropolitan Area since 2021.

Early life and education

Cavero was born in Lima, Peru, on 6 June 1992, and lived four years in Venezuela before gaining admission to the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. He attained his law degree in 2017, but rather practiced journalism while working at El Comercio.^[1]

Congress (2021–present)

At the 2021 general election, Cavero was elected to Congress under Go on Country – Social Integration Party, with 30,243 votes, for the 2021-2026 term.

In November 2021, he participated in a gathering with LGBT activists at the British Residence. For this, he was criticized for supporting at the same time the Spanish political party Vox, a party noted for a strong anti-LGBT agenda. This led to his coming out through his Twitter account, where he expressed being homosexual and "proudly right-wing".^[2]

In August 2022, he presented a bill for civil unions between heterosexual and homosexual couples, but with limitations, such as same-sex adoption, which was criticized by some LGBT groups, who would improve that it was giving in to conservative pressure. Cavero defended the project, considering that it could be a good step to improve LGBT rights.
