In an interview with Xinhua, the sociologist and professor at the National University of San Marcos said the expectation is that the progressive candidate of the Free Peru party, who takes office July 28, will lead a "more social-democratic" government. Asked about Castillo's campaign pledges, Loayza said his ability to deliver on those promises will depend on how political negotiations pan out in Congress, which is scheduled to be installed on July 27.
