Episode Details

Keiko Fujimori is set to become Peru’s next president after a razor-thin victory, marking a pivotal moment in a nation plagued by political chaos and corruption. With her party holding half the senate, she’s poised to push forward on her agenda: cracking down on extortion, boosting infrastructure through private investment, and building a massive new prison. But her win comes amid deep regional divides and controversy — with opposition demanding she reverse recent laws that critics say undermine anti-corruption efforts and calling for accountability over last year’s deadly protests. While Peru’s economy remains resilient, the stark gap between coastal prosperity and highland hardship underscores the challenges ahead.
