It is no secret to anyone that the current president of Peru, Pedro Castillo, has both retractors and people who support him four months into his government. This has caused thousands of users on social networks to use these platforms to convey their discomfort to the president, although in the process they have ended up labeling the wrong person.
This is the case of the Venezuelan musician Pedro Castillo, who has had to endure harsh criticism and comments without being directly involved in Peruvian politics. The Cuban-born composer has even had to use his account Twitter to ask Internet users to stop confusing him with the Peruvian Prime Minister.
Who is the Venezuelan Pedro Castillo?
As read above, Pedro Castillo is a renowned Venezuelan musician who was born in Cuba on February 14, 1959, in the midst of the revolution organized by Fidel Castro. For this reason, the current composer only spent 30 days in the Caribbean island, and his parents decided to leave for Venezuela, escaping from that agitated political and social situation.
