Newspapers report that President Alan Garcia struck a man who insulted him last weekend during a visit to a public hospital. Garcia struck Richard Galvez Leon, a volunteer for the social aid program Kurame.
Witnesses claimed that Galvez called Garcia “corrupt” as the president was leaving Regabliati Hospital. Garcia then turned around and smacked Galvez in the face.
Garcia denies anything happened.
However, the media notes that Garcia kicked a youth with health problems during a protest march in 2004.
