A second point to highlight when evaluating the fragility of the authoritarian coalition is that its members have very divergent interests. This is normal but very difficult to manage when there are no parties in the strict sense of the term. Negotiation in Congress must be permanent and practically with each parliamentarian. This is aggravated since those who do not make up any of the parliamentary groups today constitute the second largest bench in Congress. Although there are parliamentarians with ideological views moderate and radical on both the right and the left they are a minority.
What prevails are actors with pure individual interests. that declares itself MarxistLeninist for Venezuela Email List Castillo ran can vote alongside the Fujimorists and even share the Board of Directors with them without major problems. At the same time this is why sometimes some key projects to advance the concentration of power do not prosper. Some pragmatic politicians who aspire to continue in politics value public opinion more. This explains why the vote of some congressmen prevented at the last minute the dismissal of the National Board of Justice last December.
The third factor of weakness of the authoritarian coalition is that the Boluarte government has no success to show. After the Castillo government many trusted that Boluarte could resume economic growth and strengthen the State with a technical cabinet. But a year after his inauguration Peru entered a recession and state capacity remains weakened. According to the latest survey by the Institute of Peruvian Studies IEP of those surveyed declare that they live worse than a year ago and the approval of the Boluarte government is around . The president furthermore cannot travel to the south of the country without provoking protests against her presence. In January of this year in Ayacucho the relatives of two victims of the Armys repression criticized her for the impunity of the murders committed during the protests . This great unpopularity has made it easier for the media to question the government more harshly on issues of inefficiency and corruption. Several conservative media outlets have made efforts to distance themselves from Boluarte stating that her government is not rightwing despite the alliances that support the president.
