In 1995, Peru witnessed one of the most unforgettable political campaigns in its history. TV personality Susy Díaz painted the number 13—her ballot number—on her buttock, turning a simple campaign number into a national sensation. Against all expectations, she was elected to Congress.

What many people don't know is that, beyond the publicity, she presented dozens of bills during her term, with several becoming law. Her story remains one of Peru's most unusual examples of how pop culture and politics collided.

Today, mention "Susy 13" to any Peruvian, and almost everyone will know exactly what you're talking about.
