Thing is, she may have 3% approval, but competition has 1%

 

Latin America in general is in DIRE need of a political overhaul for people that will actually get something done and stick to their proposed program, instead of using it as a glorified brochure for votes and then toss it. We're tired.

My country is "on a roll" . Every president to get elected has gone to jail since the 1980s. Dina seems to be the first VP that became president to go to jail (at least since the 1980s) once her term is over, and I can't wait for it.

 

And the only two decent presidents we had over that period (Paniagua & Sagasti) had not been elected by the people. Says a lot about my nation, to be honest...

And that's because they had the shortest terms. Give them more time and they'd probably be behind bars as well.

What is it about Latam leaders across the region which they're facing obstacles on? Or are not displaying enough of?  
or is it wider scale economic development issues

Keiko Fujimori would somehow still lose against her

At least peru puts them in jail and holds them accountable. Realistically trump, Biden, bush, Obama would all be in jail for different things if we prosecuted them

All of this, and things are not looking good for us in the near future either

Isnt Peru economy stable and the Sol stable as well. It seems like Perus economy finally recovered again after the pandemic and is looking bright. President's aside i feel like that country has a bright future.

My flop country  Oh Peru...

Isn't she a coupist? So...I'm not surprised, and no, Pedro Castillo is no way better than her. Peru's politic system is doomed.

Both of them were just acting presidents. I was too young back when Paniagua became acting president but he was highly regarded by everyone. RIP.

 

It's just saddening to see we seem to be destined to always pick the least shitty of two shitty candidates all the time.

I don't know, mate. They go to jail simply because they are no longer useful to those in power is my guess. My country has zero political parties as of today and it's been that way for the past two decades.

 

Besides, nowadays the Congress it too OP and they just do whatever they want. In the past, they at least tried to cover their sh**, but now they just blatantly don't care anymore and pass as many laws as possible to fill their own pockets and keep screwing us over, and anyone who dares protest against them is labeled as a terrorist straight away, lol.

It's... complicated. I think that the way our country was established had us doomed from the very beginning. We have always been lucky to have any sort of raw material that allowed us to either stay afloat or do very well economically, but we have always neglected technology development and city growth planning.

 

If it weren't for Central Reserve Bank of Peru president, Julio Velarde, I have no idea how my country would be economically right now.

 

Currently, we are being ravaged by crime organizations in the way of contract killing and extortion. Even people who live paycheck to paycheck and work informally (around 70% of the Peruvian workforce) are now being threatened by such organizations, and it is very likely that the police is colluded with them. That and the post-Covid inflation growth has affected a lot of middle class and middle-low class families.

 

For that reason, a lot of Peruvians are leaving the country, myself being an example. Dina is just a puppet to the Congress, so we are a nation heading absolutely nowhere. I was very lucky to have had a job during the pandemic, but you can imagine the ~70% of workers that did not share my luck.
