PERU: Fujimori at loggerheads with congress
Peru’s President Keiko Fujimori accused congress of testing her patience this week, expressing open frustration over a delay in granting her request for legislative powers to rule by decree. Just two months into her term, Fujimori’s popularity is already in decline. This fall explains why she is so keen for congress to expedite proceedings so that she can be seen to be taking concrete action to confront violent crime, the principal public concern and the main reason for her push for special powers. For their part, opposition parties in congress seem more intent on holding the Fujimori administration accountable for deteriorating public security, summoning the interior minister to appear before congress for questioning.
