The Spin

The continuous political turnover in Peru's government severely undermines the country's ability to address pressing issues like rising crime and economic instability. The frequent cabinet reshuffles and leadership changes create a governance vacuum that criminal organizations exploit, leading to increased violence and extortion. The historically low approval ratings reflect the public's growing frustration with ineffective governance.

The constitutional mechanisms requiring complete cabinet resignations following a prime minister's departure ensure proper checks and balances in Peru's democratic system. This process allows for necessary governmental renewal and accountability, particularly when facing serious challenges like the current crime wave. The market's relatively stable response, as evidenced by Peru's tight Eurobond spreads, suggests underlying institutional strength despite political volatility.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 10% chance that Peru will experience a successful coup d'etat before 2040, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
