Resumo
En las elecciones presidenciales de Perú de 2021, votantes insatisfechos y descontentos apoyaron
al outsider antisistema Pedro Castillo y a Keiko Fujimori. Las elecciones de 2021 reflejan la persistencia
de tendencias que durante mucho tiempo han caracterizado al sistema político de Perú, sobre todo
la extrema debilidad de los partidos políticos del país. A estas tendencias se sumó una crisis compleja de
dimensiones políticas, económicas y de salud pública, aumentando aún más el descontento de la ciudadanía,
la fragmentación política y la prominencia de las brechas regionales y socioeconómicas preexistentes.
Todo esto llevó a las y los votantes a considerar opciones más radicales en las urnas; a esto le siguió una
segunda vuelta entre candidaturas de dudosas credenciales democráticas que polarizó profundamente
a la sociedad. En medio de la polarización y las acusaciones infundadas de fraude por parte del partido
Fuerza Popular de Keiko Fujimori, las perspectivas para la democracia en Perú parecen sombrías.
Peru's 2021 presidential election saw disaffected and discontented voters throwing their support behind antisystem outsider Pedro Castillo and Keiko Fujimori. The 2021 election reflects the persistence of trends that have long characterized Peru's political system, most notably the extreme weakness of the country's political parties. To these trends were added a compound crisis comprising political, economic, and public-health dimensions that further increased citizen disaffection, political fragmentation, and the salience of preexisting regional and socioeconomic divides. All this led voters to consider more radical options at the ballot box; a runoff between candidates with dubious democratic credentials that deeply polarized society followed. Amid polarization and unfounded allegations of fraud by Keiko Fujimori's Fuerza Popular, prospects for Peru's democracy look bleak.
