Peru, right? Is really infuring the half of a country decide the destiny of the other half, it show the dead of democratic electoral systems
It’s not just Peru, this dynamic is across Latin America.
As a Brazilian, can confirm, fucking idiots elected Bolsonaro back in 2018 and nearly reelected him in 2022, which led to a coup attempt in Jan 8, 2023. Bozo is being judged, but one of his sons might run for president this year and, despite a very obvious case of “asking for money from a corrupt friend”, he’s still the leading right-wing candidate. Of course, Brazil being Brazil, there are 3 other right-wing candidates that are exactly the same in nearly everything to bozo, but under a different name.
