What happened
Keiko Fujimori was sworn in as Peru's president, serving until 2031, after winning the June runoff by fewer than 50,000 votes. Her campaign addressed Peru's security crisis, which is fueled by local and foreign criminal gangs involved in extortion and contract killings. Fujimori has proposed fighting crime by expelling undocumented people, establishing courts with anonymous judges, and requiring prisoners to work for their food.
