PERU: Kuczynski dependent on Kenji for survival
Kenji Fujimori announced his abandonment of the main opposition Fuerza Popular (FP, Fujimoristas) on moral grounds on 1 March. His decision came the day after the former representative of Odebrecht in Peru, Jorge Barata, informed local prosecutors that the Brazilian construction firm had provided financial support for the electoral campaign of the party’s presidential candidate, Keiko Fujimori, his sister, in 2011 (see below). It also comes against the backdrop of a renewed attempt, this time driven by the left-wing opposition, to impeach President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski.
