Urpi Torrado: “The factor that weighs the most is corruption”

When you have already been down for several months, you can talk about a trend and that is what happens with President Castillo. If we compare the disapproval from the month of March of this year, from 67% that month it has gone to have 76% disapproval this month. President Castillo has not been able to change that trend. His government has announced some actions and even so, the evaluation of his management continues to be negative in general.

This is not a figure from Lima, it is a figure at the national level that, when we see it disaggregated by regions, such as the center and the south – where President Castillo had the most votes – now registers a disapproval of 79% and 65%, even above the national percentage.

The factor that is weighing the most is corruption, which is accompanied by citizen insecurity and economic management. People associate the president with corruption; if we put it in figures, it is a little more than 2/3 of the population that feels this way. And, in some way, this has an economic impact on citizens, further complicating the feeling that they are doing nothing. The popularity of the premier, on the other hand, is a flat line, he has not been able to convince large sectors of the population. Since he arrived he has not generated a positive expectation.
