Keiko Fujimori Peru politics approval rating legislative reforms border security

President Keiko Fujimori has entered her administration with a 60% national approval rating, according to a Datum International survey. The poll indicates high optimism regarding economic growth and private investment, with support varying by region; the highest approval is in the north (66%) and the lowest in the south (44%).

As part of her early agenda, the administration is pursuing several major policy shifts. The government is seeking legislative powers from Congress to implement reforms in environmental, mining, and economic sectors. Critics, including the Institute for the Defense of Law, Environment and Sustainable Development (Idlads), warn that proposed environmental regulations could be weakened to accelerate extractive industry projects.

In terms of security, Fujimori is working to militarize key border posts to combat transnational organized crime. Additionally, the administration has begun restructuring its diplomatic corps, terminating the functions of eight ambassadors across various countries. On the domestic front, the Ministry of Economy and Finance has proposed reorganizing national holidays to Mondays to stimulate internal tourism without increasing the total number of holidays.
