Early life and education
[edit]Daniel Abugattás was born on 14 April 1955 in Arequipa. Daniel Abugattás studied law at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru in Lima. Subsequently, he pursued a master program in economic law at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana in Xochimilco, Mexico, from 1980 to 1981. Moreover, in 1982, he took a specialization course in quality management at the Japanese Association for Overseas Technical Scholarship (AOTS) in Osaka.
Career
[edit]From 1980 to 1994, he worked as a procurator for Fabrica Moderna S.A. in Lima. From 1994 to 2006, he was the general director of Nielsen Peru.
Political career
[edit]In the 2006 general election, he was elected as a congressman on the joint Union for Peru–Peruvian Nationalist Party list, representing Lima. After the breakup of the alliance following the 2006 elections, Abugattás decided to sit with the Nationalist bench. During the campaign, Abugattás was the spokesperson for Humala's candidacy for the presidency. However, after seriously insulting the nation's first lady, Eliane Karp, he was removed from office and replaced by Carlos Tapia.
From 2007 to 2011, he was a member of the political commission of the Nationalist Party. He began his parliamentary work as president of the Commission for Production, Micro and Small Enterprises. Ollanta Humala entrusted him with the task of organizing his party during non-electoral times, achieving in less than a year to affiliate 32,000 militants and opening nationalist bases in 70% of the national territory (until 2008).
He received the confidence of the plenary session of Parliament to preside over the "Petroaudios" Investigative Commission, where he played an important role in clarifying such acts of corruption. From 2010 to 2011, Abugattás was the spokesman of the Nationalist bench in Congress. After Ollanta Humala and his Nationalist-dominated Peru Wins alliance won the 2011 general election, in which Abugattás was re-elected to his seat, For the annual 2011-2012 term, he was elected President of the Congress.[2] Abugattás has received various criticisms for the hiring that has been made in Congress, among these, that of former congresswoman Nancy Obregón as a citizen participation advisor.[3][4] In March 2016, he resigned from the Nationalist Party, as a result of the arbitrary and undemocratic decision of its leadership chaired by Mrs. Nadine Heredia (wife of President Ollanta Humala), leaving without a party and with an uncertain political future for him. He would later join the Alliance for Progress of Cesar Acuña and attempted to run for a seat in Congress in the 2021 elections representing Lima but he was not elected.[5][6][7]
