Álvaro Gonzalo Gutiérrez Cueva (born 15 August 1964) is a Peruvian politician. He represented Arequipa from 2006 to 2011 in the Congress of the Republic of Peru, and he belongs to the Union for Peru party.[1]

Political career

[edit]

Gutiérrez was elected as a representative from the Arequipa electoral district in 2006 for the 2006–2011 parliamentary period with 48,417 votes.[2] In 2006, he was expelled from the Peruvian Nationalist Party after criticizing Ollanta Humala and Gonzalo García Núñez, though he remained committed to Peruvian nationalism.[3][4] In 2008, he was selected to serve on the board of Javier Velásquez as second vice president.[5]

Controversies

[edit]

In 2010, Gutiérrez was suspended for 120 days from the Congress of the Republic after being denounced by the Peruvian Nationalist Party for having left the country for 5 months despite having only 52 days leave.[6]

In 2019, he was criticized after mocking the death of former Minister of Defense José Huerta through his Twitter account.[7]
