The erosion of democracy in Peru has reached critical levels, propelled by controversial legislative measures and governance marked by unprecedented unpopularity. The recent amendments to the constitution, including the reinstatement of a bicameral Congress against overwhelming public rejection, underscore a widening disconnect between elected officials and the electorate. Moreover, the repeal of crucial measures aimed at combating illegal mining highlights a dangerous trend favoring organized crime over environmental and public safety concerns.

The international community must play a pivotal role in supporting free and fair elections, ensuring the independence of electoral and judicial institutions, and fostering inclusive dialogue among diverse social sectors. Only through concerted efforts can Peru regain its democratic footing and prevent further turmoil that threatens to destabilize the nation.
