“All his life he encouraged me to be more. He told me ‘you have to study, go to university, graduate’. My dad got into debt with some vendors and bought cheap collections of books from us. My brothers and I grew up glued to books, which is why we were always self-taught. My dad thought big with me. I was always amazed at that (…) We are very similar in personality, ”he said in an interview broadcast by the PNP.

“I had a police father who had to pay for two homes, with 6 children (…) We had an old uniform that was washed every day, just like the shoes, my father took them to the shoemaker to mend, and when not, I put a kind of cardboard to the holes of the shoes. Surely at that time I was very ashamed, but now I remember it with great affection. My father was a great father, wonderful, ”he mentioned to Infobae.

Luis Medina left this world at the age of 93.

“I frustrated my career and stopped studying, it hurt me to fail my father. With all the strength of my heart, I promised myself that she would not keep me as a housewife. I got divorced and needed my parents because I couldn’t come to Lima alone with a child. I went back to work and found a job (as a journalist). I think that I once disappointed my father, I more than returned that frustration that I gave him, ”she explained.
