The Spin

Government-critical narrative

Peru’s new cabinet represents a dangerous shift toward authoritarian control, with ministers who have described peaceful protests by student demonstrators as terrorist actions linked to violent organizations. This ultra-right government will threaten democracy by suppressing dissent and blocking legitimate political expression.

Pro-government narrative

The transitional cabinet offers hope for national reconciliation and democratic stability. This government will prioritize defeating organized crime and ensuring free and fair elections in 2026. Through its new leadership, the government will aim to provide the direction and unity Peru desperately needs after its recent instability.
