Subject
The future of Fujimorismo.
Significance
The arrest and detention of Keiko Fujimori on corruption charges have prompted a new crisis in Fuerza Popular (FP), the majority party in Congress. This provides opportunities for other political actors, not least for President Martin Vizcarra, who wants to push ahead with an agenda of anti-corruption measures.
Impacts
The Fujimori legacy may now depend on Kenji Fujimori's political skills.
Alan Garcia's role in the Odebrecht saga may now come under closer inspection.
Pedro Pablo Kuczynski may also find himself embroiled judicially over his 2011 election campaign spending.
The best-placed candidates in 2021 will be those able to distance themselves from recent political machinations.
