PERU: Aráoz and Fujimori coast through
Prime Minister Mercedes Aráoz won a vote of confidence on 12 October in Peru’s opposition-controlled congress. She was not the only female political figurehead to make a potentially career-defining appearance before congress. The very next day it was the turn of Keiko Fujimori, the leader of the dominant opposition party Fuerza Popular (FP, Fujimoristas), whose votes were essential for Aráoz. Fujimori was summoned to testify before a congressional commission investigating the impact on Peru of Brazil’s continent-wide bribery scandal.
