Dina Boluarte: what do Peruvians think, according to the IEP surveys, about corruption?

In that sense, 82% of Peruvians consider that this scourge increased during the last year, while only 2% believe that it decreased and 17% believes that it remains the same, during the Government of Dina Boluarte.
However, Boluarte indicates that his “Government is not corrupt and there is no room in this Government for the corrupt or for corruptors.” It is worth remembering that on November 19, the Judiciary issued 36 months of preventive detention against his brother Nicanor Boluarte — who is in hiding — within the framework of the investigations into the case The Waykis in the Shadow.
Compared to the previous measurement in December 2023, there is a statistical increase in the responses of the people surveyed regarding the same question. Last year alone 70% believed that corruption had increased, unlike only 4% believed that it had decreased.
The national opinion survey was conducted between November 15 and 20 among 1,206 people, with a margin of error of 2.8%.
On the other hand, the data collected indicates that 80% of the population believes that the political situation in the country worsened compared to last year, despite the fact that only 2% said that it improved.
