In the middle of a difficult year there were events that made Peruvians filled with pride and moments to celebrate as a country. The inauguration of the Port of Chancay, held last November on the occasion of APEC —and which marks the beginning of the development of Peru as a logistics center in South America— is considered the most positive event of the year in the country, according to the survey that Ipsos carried out for Peru21. 48% of those interviewed have placed it at the top of the three events that stood out the most in the past year.
Precisely, the Cooperation Forum, which brought together the 21 economies of Asia and the Pacific in our country, stands out with 32% in this stellar list, behind the 114 medals achieved by Peruvian sports in the Bolivarian Games held in Ayacucho a few years ago. weeks (33%).
The recognition of Peru as the best culinary destination (28%), the Olympic bronze medal of Stefano Peschiera (22%), the two-time Universitario de Deportes championship (14%), the recognition by UNESCO of the Peruvian origin of pisco (12 %) and even the sentence of 20 years in prison for former president Alejandro Toledo (12%) are among the positive things in the country this year.
EVERY DAY INSECURITY
And while Peruvians arm themselves with courage and courage to take to the streets every morning, bowing their heads to protect themselves from crime, the president dared yesterday to congratulate her questioned, worn out and discredited Minister of the Interior for his “bravery and courage.” , in an undeserved Christmas gift that sounded more like a national offense.
Dina Boluarte spent the year turning her back on a defenseless country and looking almost with indifference at the problem that worried Peru the most and that she and her minister Juan José Santiváñez never knew how to face.
And so, while for her the pernicious thing was always being questioned, for 37% of Peruvians the increase in crime and citizen insecurity is the main negative event of 2024.
But right there, with 36%, two other events are consolidated as the most negative of this year that is about to go: the Rolex case, which involves the president, who never knew how to justify how those watches came to her wrist, and therefore which has been investigated together with the regional governor of Ayacucho, Wilfredo Oscorima, his generous and selfless ‘wayki’; and the performance of the Congress of the Republic, which with its laws did not stop favoring illegality and informality.
For Ricardo Valdés, former vice minister of the Interior, the citizen response is in line with what is happening in the country and with those responsible for this situation.
“This shows the failure of two powers of the State. On the one hand, the Executive, represented by the president, her prime minister and her Minister of the Interior, who have not been able to implement mechanisms to protect citizens; and on the other, Congress and the disastrous regulations it has given, taking advantage of crime throughout the year. It is not by chance that both the president and Congress follow insecurity as Peru’s main problems, practically in a three-way tie,” Valdés analyzed for Perú21.
Also considered among the most negative events of the year is the distribution of contaminated food in Qali Warma (33%), which affected the president’s spokesperson and the minister who has survived the longest in her cabinet: the one saved by Congress, Julio Demartini. A case of corruption of this Government in the midst of Boluarte’s repetitive speech about the “clean hands” of his management.
With 27% is the non-capture of Vladimir Cerrón (another outstanding debt of the Interior sector) and the rape of girls in the community of Awajún, which led to the shameful pachotada of the Minister of Education.
The escape of Nicanor Bolaurte, the president’s brother (24%), and the expansion of Reinfo (16%), approved by Congress, which will allow the increase of criminal mining in the country, are on the list.
THE NECESSARY GIFT
And in accordance with the situation of terror that is experienced in the national territory, 53% of Peruvians, asked about what they would give to Peru in 2025, responded that citizen security. In Lima, the city in the country most attacked by crime and criminality, this response rises to 62%.
Other gifts that Peruvians would give to the country are justice (52%), economic growth (44%), stability (35%) and honesty (29%).
Ipsos also asked those interviewed what feelings Peru generates in them, and for 52% of Peruvians the feeling is concern. The less than encouraging responses included grief (38%), shame (33%) and anger/hatred (18%).
