Keiko Fujimori embraces father's legacy ahead of Peruvian presidential runoff

Peruvian presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori is openly associating herself with the populist and authoritarian legacy of her father, former President Alberto Fujimori, as the country approaches the second round of voting. Ahead of the June 7 runoff election, Fujimori's campaign appears to acknowledge and even leverage her father's controversial 1990-2000 tenure. Reports indicate that supporters in areas such as Villa Maria del Triunfo in Lima express their intention to vote for her, often referencing her father's influence. This strategy underscores her connection to a significant period in Peruvian history, characterized by strong leadership but also accusations of authoritarianism.
