Alberto Ismael Beingolea Delgado (born 19 November 1964) is a Peruvian politician, who was the President of the Christian People's Party between 2017 and 2021.[1][2] He is a former Congressman, representing Lima between 2011 and 2016. Before entering politics, he was a journalist and sports commentator.
Beingolea was born in Lima on 19 November 1964. He completed his elementary and secondary education at the San Luis Maristas School of Barranco.
Upon graduation, he was admitted to the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, from which he received his law degree in June 1990. Specializing in criminal law, he completed his a master's degree in that specialty at the same university in 2009.
As a university professor, he is a member of the Department of Law of the Catholic University, where he also teaches, for the Faculty of Communication Sciences, courses in sports journalism and deontology. He is also an itinerant professor of criminal law at the César Vallejo University, a subject that he also taught before at the University of San Martín de Porres.
Journalistic career
Beingolea has a long history as a journalist and sportscaster. He started on television at the age of 13, integrating the cast of the program Los Niños y su Mundo by Yola Polastri. He was later promoted by América Televisión to broadcast the 1982 FIFA World Cup before turning 18, and since then he has been a member of the sports staff of that channel, with which he also broadcast the 1986 FIFA World Cup, the 1984 Olympics and 1988 Olympics, qualifying rounds, World Athletics Championships, the 86 Volleyball World Cup, Libertadores Cups, and many more tournaments. In 1986, he was given for the first time the conduction of his own program of World Cup memories: The Best of the World Cup, and after that, he took over the sports sequence of the América Televisión newscasts. In 1990, after resigning from América Televisión due to differences with management, he was hired by Panamericana Televisión to broadcast the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, with El Veco and Humberto Martínez Morosini.
After the 1990 FIFA World Cup, Beingolea decided to accept the defunct offer of Global Televisión Canal 13, a small channel that wanted to prioritize his sports programming. There he had full autonomy, creating and conducting the Goles en Acción program, with which soccer programs began on Sunday nights on Peruvian television. He also directed Acción on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and created a range of daily sports programs, the most memorable being Más Acción in the mornings and Acción al día in the evenings.
With that staff in January 1999 he went to ATV, where they changed their name and called themselves El Equipo, the main program being El Equipo de Goles, dedicated to soccer on Sundays at 10 pm. The team made a great and extensive coverage of the World Cup in France 98 and was one of the main responsible for exacerbating Chilean spirits in the match that the Peruvian team faced their Chilean counterpart in Santiago de Chile in October 1997, in which they lost by 4 to 0, thus losing the qualifying by goal difference. He resigned from said program in 2000, denouncing that the Alberto Fujimori regime had infiltrated its journalistic operators into ATV, with the complicity of their owners, to try to save themselves from what was his downfall. With him, his entire team resigned, ending a prolific decade, which set styles and guidelines for sports journalism on TV.
Between 2001 and 2003, Beingolea later reappeared as the sports director of Frecuencia Latina for two years.
In June 2003, Beingolea joined CMD, where he hosted the programs Crónicas de balón, Versus and Partido Aparte, being the main commentator for the Campeonato Descentralizado and the Peru national team, qualifying rounds and world championships in 2006 and 2011. In January 2011, during broadcasting Versus' first show of the year, he gave up his 33-year career as a sports journalist to run for a seat in the Peruvian Congress.
