On July 28 local time, Peru's elected president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, took the oath of office in Lima, the capital of the country, with her term lasting until July 2031. This power transfer marked Peru's ninth president in the past decade.
In her fourth presidential campaign, in June this year, Fujimori Keiko won the second-round election by a narrow margin of less than 50,000 votes.
During her inauguration speech in Congress, Fujimori Keiko announced plans to deploy troops in areas where crime, drug smuggling, and illegal mining activities are rampant.
She also stated that she will accelerate the construction of infrastructure and promote reforms in areas such as youth employment, education, and social security. She called for unity and cooperation among all political forces to jointly drive the country's development.
Argentine President Mille, Chilean President Castre, Ecuadorian President Novoya, Bolivian President Pase and Uruguayan President Orsi, among other leaders from Latin American countries, attended Fujimori Keiko's inauguration ceremony.
However, according to AFP, Fujino Keiko's inauguration ceremony also sparked some controversy, with a group of left-wing lawmakers leaving the ceremony during the event to protest.
Although the right-wing coalition led by Yoshiko Fujimori has not yet obtained the majority required to push through major policies in Peru's parliament, her party, the People's Force, remains the largest party in parliament and has significant influence within the political system.
Previously, Peru experienced 10 years of political turmoil, during which 8 presidents took office one after another. Many of these leaders were dismissed by Congress or resigned under pressure. The Fujimori camp maintained strong influence in Congress for a long time.
The report indicates that the campaign of 51-year-old Fujimori Keiko has always been overshadowed by the complex legacy left behind by her father, former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori. In the 1990s, Alberto Fujimori served as the president of Peru. He was later imprisoned for corruption and for committing human rights violations during the period when “counterterrorism operations” were carried out.
Fujisori Keizo had called for a peaceful resolution between different political factions, but this statement did not gain the recognition of families of victims of violence from certain countries.
On the 27th local time, over 100 people held a vigil in Lima, expressing opposition to the new government that was about to take office, and demanding that the related crimes committed during the previous Fujimori government be investigated.
