Conservative leader Keiko Fujimori was sworn in as Peru's president on Tuesday after winning the June presidential runoff by a margin of fewer than 50,000 votes, a victory that confirmed a regional shift in South America toward the conservative wing. One wonders to what degree this outcome represents a consequence of canning USAID and arresting Maduro?

She is the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, who led the country in the 1990s and stabilized its economy while defeating terror groups, but was later imprisoned for human rights abuses committed under his rule by the Peruvian military as his government took an authoritarian turn. He was pardoned in December 2023 and died in September the following year. I thought I recognized this last name as being associated with a former President of Peru. I wish her the success of her father's early presidency and is able to evade the pitfalls that led to his downfall.
