About Javier Diez Canseco

Javier Diez Canseco Cisneros was a Peruvian politician and member of the Peruvian Congress representing the Socialist Party of Peru (PS), of which he was a founding member and also served as its Party President. During his first year of life, Diez Canseco contracted poliomyelitis, resulting in a permanent limp in his left leg. For his part, Diez Canseco denied any wrongdoing and accused political opponents, including First Lady Nadine Heredia, of colluding against him. This was not the first time Diez Canseco was suspended from his Congressional and Senatorial duties.
