Luis A. Flores

Luis Alberto Flores Medina (Ayabaca, October 11, 1899 — Lima, May 28, 1969) was a Peruvian lawyer, politician and diplomat.

[1] He grew up in a neighbourhood popular for its cuisine known as "La Mangachería",[4] and took part in right-wing academic circles growing up.

[5][6] Flores was part of Luis Miguel Sánchez Cerro's cabinet, as well as an urrista,[4] i.e. a member of his political party, Revolutionary Union.

[5] After the annulment of the 1936 Peruvian general election, Flores and his party reportedly planned a coup d'état which was discovered, leading to his exile in Chile, where he supported himself using the funds he gained from his hacienda in Cajamarca.

[9] He later served as deputy for his native Piura, as well as ambassador of Peru in Italy and Paraguay, where he made comments in support of the Hispanidad.
