The "House of Pizarro" has seen a lot of activity in the last decade; I've witnessed it firsthand for the past eight years.

More than eight presidents have occupied the presidential residence, none of them good, and each one further demonstrating how power in the "Inca" country resides solely in the legislative branch (Congress).

The long list begins like this...

Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (2016–2018): Resigned following the "Mamanivideos" scandal.

Martín Vizcarra (2018–2020): Impeached by Congress for "moral incapacity".

Manuel Merino (2020): His term lasted just five days after massive protests.

Francisco Sagasti (2020–2021): Transitional president during the pandemic.

Pedro Castillo (2021–2022): Impeached after a failed self-coup attempt.

Dina Boluarte (2022–2025): Removed by Congress following a crisis of security and political support.

José Jerí (2025–2026): Removed from office after failing to survive censure motions and a scandal involving unregistered meetings.

José María Balcázar Zelada (2026–present): Assumed office after Jerí's censure, consolidating the ninth term in the decade.

From Congress, they install presidents to their liking and convenience.

With a legislative tool that we commoners understand as "VACANCY," which allows for a kind of consensus or consultation among the political blocs to reach an agreement to censure or "oust" the current president.

The justifications or reasons they use for this act have sometimes been quite foolish, and they obviously do it without thinking about all the political damage and negative side effects this brings to a country in every aspect.

Nothing less can be expected since politicians (trash) only think about themselves and not the people who elect them.

But the underlying issue here is the following: "La China" Keiko Fujimori has already faced four different opponents in the last four "democratic" presidential elections held here in Peru.

And she has lost every time, and the most curious thing is that she always loses by less than 1%. Let's say she lost each election because 30,000 people or fewer voted for her opponent.

And this is no coincidence, nor should it surprise even me, a simple migrant with perhaps limited knowledge of Peruvian politics and society.

I realize that it's not in "LA CHINA's" best interest to occupy the presidential seat in Lima.

The reason is quite simple: it's in her best interest to be the opposition with a majority in Congress because in this country, total power resides in Congress.

All resources are approved there, and everything that happens is decided there.

The president in office is simply a figurehead who takes advantage of the situation to steal and place his entire family and acquaintances in every possible ministry and position until Congress decides to replace him with someone else.

This order for change is carried out by the majority of deputies from the "Popular Force" party, whose president, as you can probably guess, is none other than the one known in Peruvian slang as

"Mrs. K."

And so it has been in Peruvian political history for the last 15 years, a country completely divided for two reasons.

The first is the narcissism of the inhabitants of the Peruvian capital towards everyone else in the country—a hatred that is also mutual because people in the provinces detest those from Lima.

And the other is in the political sphere because Keiko Fujimori's father, when he was in power, was also loved by the people of the capital but vehemently hated by the inhabitants of the provinces.

Currently, in 2026, the winning candidate and president is named Roberto Elvert Sánchez Palomino, but you already know who's really in charge... 🙃

From my perspective as a migrant, Peru's current economic situation is stable, but all other aspects of the country are in decline and without a future due to political uncertainty.

There is literally no authority figure or president who has truly worked for the country; all those who have come before have focused on clinging to power as much as possible, and that's it!

It's a country without a president, and if you ask anyone on the street who they want to win the presidential elections, they'll tell you, "It's better if the other one wins, no matter who it is, because if 'La China' wins, nobody will be able to remove her from power." They prefer to live in instability, with a new clown of a president every year.
