The dictator’s legacy is celebrated by some and condemned by others. What is certain is that Fujimorism will continue to be a relevant actor in Peruvian politics for years to come.

Several lawyers have said that it is illegal for Fujimori to be a candidate. Meanwhile, his daughter, Keiko, and her political party, Popular Force (Fuerza Popular), are under investigation for money laundering.

On Monday, Judge Juana Caballero began the trial against former presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori, leader of the political party Popular Force.

The Peruvian people have remained in the streets three months since Pedro Castillo was overthrown in a coup d’état

The coup against Pedro Castillo was led by an odious right-wing that refused to accept the people’s aspiration for a progressive project

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) considered that the Constitutional Court’s decision to reinstate a controversial presidential pardon granted to former dictator Alberto Fujimori in 2017, failed to give adequate weight to the right to justice of Fujimori’s victims

Fujimori’s dictatorship in the 1990s was marked by grave human rights violations as well as corruption including crimes of aggravated kidnapping, forced disappearance and murder of thousands of leftist guerillas especially of the Shining Path.
