Keiko Fujimori's Congressional Team and Fight for Constitution Commission Control

A new group of legislators appointed by Keiko Fujimori's Fuerza Popular includes more than ten members with pending judicial processes, disputed resignations or accusations of favoritism. The list mixes former officials from the administrations of Pedro Castillo, Dina Boluarte, Martín Vizcarra and Alan García with lawyers who defended former president Alberto Fujimori and other staunch Fujimorists. Notably, former aide José Luis Tataleón Tratri, implicated in the theft of hundreds of "Vladivideos," joins the team, raising concerns about potential leverage of sensitive material.

At the same time, Fuerza Popular and the rival Juntos por el Perú are competing to chair the Constitution, Regulation and Foreign Relations Commission in both chambers of Congress. Both blocs view the commission as crucial for influencing constitutional reforms and direct‑democracy mechanisms, with Juntos por el Perú pledging to "recuperar el derecho al referéndum". Control of this commission, along with other key committees such as Education, Justice and Economy, is seen as a strategic objective for shaping Peru's legislative agenda.
