Ántero Flores-Aráoz Esparza (born 28 February 1942)[1] is a Peruvian lawyer and politician who is the Prime Minister of Peru. Once a prominent member and leader of the Christian People's Party, he left and founded the Order Political Party in order to run for the presidency at the 2016 general election, in which he placed tenth and last with 0.4% of the popular vote.[2][3][4]
Flores-Aráoz studied in the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and the National University of San Marcos. He first ran for the Congress of Peru in 1985 as a member of the Christian People's Party, but was not elected. In 2004 he was elected President of the Congress of the Republic of Peru,[5] the only opposition Congress President during the presidency of Alejandro Toledo. On 2 December 2006, he received the post of Permanent Representative of Peru to the Organization of American States. Beginning in 2007 he has served as Defense Minister of Peru as well.[6]
Flores-Aráoz is well-remembered for his engagement as a Alan García's cabinet member during the 2009 Baguazo massacre[citation needed] as well as his prosecution of dancer and model Leisy Suarez for taking photos of herself naked while sitting on the Peruvian flag.[7] He also has been active in denouncing terrorism.[8] He is also popularly known as Áustero and Gato fiero ('brave cat').[citation needed]
