Thousands gathered in the streets of Lima on Sunday to voice opposition to Keiko Fujimori’s latest presidential bid, casting renewed scrutiny on the controversial four-time candidate and her political legacy as the daughter of disgraced former leader Alberto Fujimori.
The demonstrations highlight deepening public divisions over Fujimori’s return to the spotlight, with critics pointing to her father’s 16-year imprisonment for crimes against humanity and her own contentious political history.
Fujimori remains one of Peru’s most polarizing figures, and her candidacy has reignited debates about accountability, memory, and democratic legitimacy ahead of what could be a pivotal election cycle.
