text: Peru's Opposition Plays Hardball | Americas Quarterly

  At the root of the problem is the congressional majority won by Fujimori's People's Force party and their willingness to use post-truth rhetoric and hardball tactics to undermine the government. That includes impeachment proceedings against well-regarded ministers from Kuczynski's cabinet on the basis of flimsy – or simply false – allegations of misconduct.
  Thanks to Peru's open-list electoral system, People's Force won 73 of 130 seats in Peru's single-chamber Congress despite only picking up 36 percent of the votes. That compares with just 18 seats for Kuczynski's Peruvians for Change party.
