Hitler Mussolini: Hitler and Mussolini are two rulers in world history who killed millions of people. Many decades have passed since his death, but even in the 21st century, no decent parent names their children Hitler or Mussolini. Despite this, a leader named Hitler Mussolini Simon Flores has been elected mayor of a city in Peru, the surprising thing is that he contested the elections on the ticket of a leftist party. This candidate, named after two fascist dictators, won the mayoral election in Queropalca. It is a district of the Huánuco region where about 730 people live and it is located north of Lima.
45-year-old Hitler Mussolini Simon Flores was contesting the elections from the centre-left party named 'Ahora Nación'. He got 229 votes, which was 34.5 percent of the total 663 valid votes. The fact that they were named after Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and his Italian ally Benito Mussolini caught the attention of local media, which called it a unique development.
It is a different matter that in Peru it is not unusual for parents to give historical or unique names to their children. Whether there is anything negative or controversial associated with those names or not. According to the newspaper 'La Repubblica', about 2,349 Peruvians are believed to have the same name as the Nazi leader. Apart from politics, Hitler Mussolini Simon Flores runs 'Simeon Sac' investment group in Pilco Marca area of Peru.
Hitler became mayor
The voting took place as part of regional and municipal elections held across Peru following right-wing Keiko Sofia Fujimori's victory in the country's presidential election. According to reports, Mr. Simon Flores had resigned from Fujimori's 'Popular Force' party last year. Hitler Mussolini Simon Flores has been elected the new mayor of a city in Peru.
'Ahora Nación', while mentioning the unique name of its candidate, wrote on its website – 'The name of the probable winner is similar to Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi regime in Germany, and Benito Mussolini, the dictator of Italy and the founder of fascism. Both of them were important figures in European politics during the Second World War. This unique thing made Queropalka's case a topic of discussion amid the election results.
It is being told that the party describes itself as a centre-left, social democratic and nationalist party. It advocates the creation of a democratic and decentralized Peruvian state, equality before the law and opposition to discrimination. Hitler Mussolini Simón Flores defeated his nearest rival Gaspar Benilde Osorio Zambrano of the 'Popular Renewal Peru Party'. The opponent got only 204 votes (30.8 percent).
Called himself 'good Hitler'
But this is not the first time that a 'Hitler' has won the hearts of Peruvian voters. Gasclin Alba Sanchez, leader of the center-right 'We Are Peru' party, served as mayor of Yungar, a small town in the Andes mountains, between 2011 and 2014. This leader, who described himself as 'Good Hitler', campaigned with slogans like 'Hitler's return' and 'Hitler with the people'. In 2018, Hitler Alba was challenged by Lenin Vladimir Rodriguez Valverde, who tried to have his candidacy declared invalid.
Hitler's name seemed normal in childhood
It is also interesting that he had said at that time that when his father named him this, he had no knowledge about the dictator of Nazi Germany. At the same time, Hitler Saavedra worked in the Peruvian Congress as a member of the 'We Are Peru' party from 2021 until his death in 2024 at the age of 46. In Namibia, Adolf Hitler Unona won the local elections for the fifth consecutive time last year. He told the BBC that this name seemed absolutely normal to me as a child. Local newspaper 'The Namibian' had reported last year that after facing years of criticism, he had removed his middle name 'Hitler' from his identity card. Now his name is just Adolf Unona.
