The Peruvian political situation:
Peru is going through a lot of stress because the next presidential election is important for
the future of the entire country, so we can see a lot of comments about each presidential
candidate on social media and the Uniflex whatsapp is not the exception.
The last Friday one of the Uniflex coworker left the whatsapp group. He said that was
because he felt stressed with the large amount of disagreeing political comments.
On Monday 24th another Uniflex coworker left the whatsapp group too. He said that was
because he did not like the different opinions of other members.
Both said, “I’m going to return to the group after the run-off election”.
These events occurred two weeks before the run-off election between Keiko Fujimori and
Pedro Castillo. This election is creating divisions in the whole country.

WREAKS
An unusual phenomenon struck Lima. The capital woke up to lights in the sky, loud
and strange noises, the locals are not used to thunder and lightning, causing
concern and anguish.
This event happened at approximately 6am and could be seen in different parts of
Lima, lasting for more than 1 hour. Research specialists indicated that it was only
a small storm off the coast of Lima.
The presence of rain and a rainbow was also reported. Nelson Quispe, Forecast
Director for Senamhi, asserted that it is a phenomenon that happens every 50
years or so and it will move to the south.
They recommend not to use mobile phones in public places or record the lightning
exposition for safety.

This is the best channel on television, and this is the latest news.
First, in the morning we woke up with loud noises, this was caused by lightning.
Besides, it was raining heavily. It is a phenomenon that’s not frequent in Lima and
it surprised everyone.
On the other hand, hours later we found out about an attack in the jungle. In a
terrorist act, Sendero Luminoso killed 16 people. It caused a big commotion in
the whole country and someone wanted to connect it to the elections.
This was the most important news today.

TIK TOK’S NEW R
OLE AS A DETEC
SOLVING A KIDN TIVE
APPING CASE
A viral Tik Tok could help to solve a kidnapping case from 18 years ago
On February 4, 2003, Sofia Juarez told her mother that she was going to a store with her
grandmother's boyfriend, but when he returned he said that she wasn't with him. The
family reported that with the police, but until now the little girl had never been found.
18 years later, in a viral video on tik tok, a journalist was talking casually with a woman
about what she feels about becoming a year older and other common topics, and at the
end of the interview the woman sent a greeting to her grandmother saying to her that she
was kidnapped and she didn't know where she belonged.
The impressive thing is that the woman and the little girl look very similar, and now the
police are looking for her to put her through a DNA test to discover if she is the person
they have been looking for so long.

NASA CONFIRMS
: METEORITE WIL
KILL HUMANITY L
IN JANUARY 2022
!!
Meteorite about to hit the earth.
NASA scientists and astronomers from around the world have confirmed that a meteorite is
about to hit the earth in January of next year. They claim that the meteorite is the same size
as the meteorite that extinguished the dinosaurs and that the consequences are terrible.
Armed forces around the world have thought of destroying the meteorite with many bombs,
but by doing computer simulations many times they found that they cannot destroy it, or
even deflect it a little.
After hitting the earth the meteorite will eliminate many ecosystems, and cover the entire
sky with ash, there will be many volcanoes erupting everywhere and there will be almost no
vegetation.
People from all over the world are preparing to leave the planet before it happens, some will
go to Mars and will form a colony there, others will go to Titan which is a satellite of Saturn,
others will go into hibernation in underground bunkers. What will you do?
