Fujimoristas in retreat in Peru

Peru’s President Martín Vizcarra is pressing congress to deliver his reforms, while the once-dominant right-wing Fuerza Popular (FP, Fujimoristas) loses strength in the legislature. Vizcarra is driving home his political advantage. In a speech on 28 January he stressed that the legislature had yet to pass the law creating a Junta Nacional de Justicia (JNJ), the body designed to reform the judiciary.

He demanded that congress move forward to “fill the vacuum” and approve the reforms.
