Requena: There is a disconnection with reality
In interview with Peru21political analyst José Carlos Requena warned that this high number of political organizations is the “reflection of a political system absolutely disconnected from the social and economic reality that these groups would like to represent.”
“They are electoral endeavors that end up having some space, but I think that, equally, they are very ephemeral movements that will surely end up fading in the subsequent election,” he said.
He pointed out that the elections that will take place in April and October respectively present us with two very different scenarios. “In fact, these elections, the subnational ones, are much more relevant than the national ones that we are seeing,” he said, adding that in October the regional movements “have some advantage over the parties with national projection.”
“Surely in the regional governments we will see a large majority of scattered regional movements and only two or three parties – which could be Somos Perú and Alianza para el Progreso – with some presence. I think the rest is something very precarious. In the long run it will be a few organizations that end up having some greater weight. All this forces the actors that have some interaction with the subnational governments to weave their strategies in a much finer way,” he said.
