Peru elects Fujimori: Political dynasty returns to power, but what happens next? | DW News

A political dynasty is returning to power in Peru. Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, has won the presidency on her fourth attempt. But her victory is reigniting old divisions in a country that has cycled through ten presidents in just over a decade. Supporters say Fujimori can restore order, tackle rising crime and bring stability to Peru. Critics fear the return of a deeply polarizing political movement linked to one of the most controversial periods in the country's modern history. Is Peru joining a broader shift to the right across Latin America? Can Fujimori break Peru's cycle of political instability? And what does her victory mean for democracy in the region? DW News speaks with Peru journalist Dan Collyns.
