Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori surprised viewers during a live social media broadcast over the weekend by revealing she received an unexpected gift from television presenter Karen Schwarz.
Fujimori, speaking from Government Palace at the start of her presidential term, publicly thanked Schwarz for sending a package from her Valente clothing line, which specializes in shapewear for different body types.
Schwarz, who currently resides in Spain and is the partner of Ezio Oliva, had not publicly disclosed sending the items. Fujimori gave the brand publicity during her broadcast, smiling while explaining that she thanked Schwarz because she found the garments very comfortable.
Presidential gifts and social media reaction
The announcement came as the daughter of Alberto Fujimori thanked senders for various gifts delivered to Government Palace. For her inauguration, Fujimori had also chosen to work with Peruvian fashion designers.
Her remarks sparked controversy across social media platforms, generating mixed reactions. Some online users commended Fujimori for supporting local Peruvian entrepreneurs, while others questioned the origin of the public acknowledgment.
