Peru President Dina Boluarte
Dina Boluarte is perhaps the most unpopular president in the world, with only 2% approval. But it continues to hold on to power-and analysts are sure that they will end their mandate in 2026, despite the rejection of the Peruvians and the multiple scandals.
Without parliamentary bench, the Peruvian Dina Biguarte, conservative president of 62, governs the country for two and a half years, with a tacit alliance With Congress, controlled on the right and far right.
With one crisis -immune economy policy and an election campaign in which it cannot participate, perhaps the main letter in the Boluarte Mango is the Lack of alternative leaders that threaten its precarious stability by 2026, says the AFP agency.
The Peruvian Head of State is target of a dozen investigationsamong which the police repression that caused the Death of 50 Protestersthe omission of declaring jewelry and offer and one that made to the nose – which may have constituted a crime of “offense of abandonment of office”
But the popularity of Boluarte evaporated mainly by the uncontrollable increase in influence of organized crime No country.
In a recent protest through the streets of Lima, posters could be read with messages like “Dina traitor, corrupt and murderer!“,“ How long are we going to live with fear? ”Or“Go away, Dina!“.
In May, Boluarte’s popularity dropped to minimal levels in opinion polls, with 2% – a percentage point below of the poll held in April by the Ipsos Survey Institute.
“We can talk, in practice, a World Disapproving Record presidential, ”the president of Ipsos Peru told AFP, Alfredo Torres. “It’s been almost a year above 90% disapproval and its approval fell to a minimum value. It’s a cUnique ASO in 40 years of research no Peru”.
The Multinational Ipsos, founded in France in 1975 by Didier Trchot, does research in 90 countries – and It has no records of such low levels of approval in no other country.
“Sir, forgive them because they do not know what they research,” defended the president in December, at a time when polls already put her like the most unpopular president in the world.
But it cannot even be said that the fall of Boularte was phenomenal: conservative policy began his term in December 2022, with only 21% approval and 68% disapproval.
“In Peru there is a political paradox: Boluarte is the most fragile president of the last decade, for its lack of expertise and for not having the support of a party, ”the political analyst tells AFP Augusto Álvarez.
“However, this is also its strength: for many politicians, including Congress, It is an excellent idea to have a fragile presidentwho can take advantage of it, ”says Álvarez.
On the other hand, the conservative majority of Congress continues to support the president because if it will be named after the presidency a parliamentarian who gathers consensus – a virtually impossible task due to the polarization of the assembly.
Dina Boularte’s unpopularity dates back to the time she replaced the deposit, who was a very discreet vice president, and decided to stay in power, andMINH TO CONVICE ANTICIPATED ELECTIONS– Contributing to increase the historical instability of Peruvian policy.
Since 2016, Peru has had six presidents: Two were deposited by Congress, two resigned before they had the same destination, one concluded their interim 8 -month term, and Boluarte, who reached the post after Castillo’s frustrated blow.
Despite their unpopularity, people do not go to the mass street to protest because they feel it is not worth it: to resign or are deprived, will be replaced by a congressman, But Congress also has a terrible image.
On the other hand, the good performance of the Peruvian economy It helps to avoid the collapse of the president. In the first quarter of the year, GDP increased 3.9%and throughout the last year, it grew 3.3%. “The economy continues to grow, there is a huge resilience People’s salaries continue to increase“, Explains Álvarez.
It is case to say that at home where there is a lot of bread, few scold, because there is no reason.
