Peruvians are voting on Sunday, June 7 in the second round of the presidential election, in which right-wing politician Keiko Fujimori and left-wing candidate Roberto Sánchez face off. The winner is set to become the country's ninth president in the past decade. svet.sme.sk ↗
Fujimori, daughter of former authoritarian president Alberto Fujimori, has reached the second round for the fourth time. In her campaign, she is also relying on voters connected to her father's legacy. Sánchez is a lawmaker and left-wing contender for the country's highest office. The contest is seen as a close clash between two markedly different political directions. teraz.sk ↗
The campaign took place amid voter discontent, political instability, and fears of crime. Security became one of the main issues following cases of extortion in Lima's poor neighborhoods, where criminal groups also put pressure on transport companies. At the same time, distrust of the political elites continues in the country. The Guardian ↗
Sánchez also faces legal problems. He is to stand trial over irregularities in his party's accounting and undeclared contributions. According to available information, he still has a week to file an appeal. If elected, under the Peruvian constitution he would gain immunity. Le Monde ↗
The election result will determine the future direction of a country that has repeatedly found itself in political crisis in recent years. The close contest suggests that the new president will have to face not only security and economic problems, but also deep polarization within society. Deutschlandfunk ↗
