In Peru, the April 2026 presidential election has seen the participation of three political movements with conflicting views on the economy, public administration, and the form of government. The ideological frameworks, the manner in which political and economic messages are communicated to the public, and the way in which opposing positions are presented reveal a fundamental characteristic: among the top seven positions in the preliminary presidential results, the country has identified three contradictory trends-extreme liberalism, an ideologically ambiguous center, and a radical left. However, all three positions share common elements that suggest that, regardless of who is elected in the presidential runoff election, it is likely that authoritarian, populist, and technically unfeasible measures will be implemented in the realm of public administration. This situation allows for an assessment of the next government’s performance and its effects on democratic institutions, the economy, and international relations over the next five years.
