Alberto Fujimori's dictatorship caused all this. The economical growth under his unlegitimate dictatorship marginalized democracy, his constitution is literally still in power.. So nobody is talking about it, because Peruvians themselves prefer leaders like Fujimori (with economical growth) instead of a healthy democracy.

Indeed! The constitution from his dictatorship is literally still in power, so to understand it a deeper understanding of Fujimari is needed.

@justinpaul3110 Very true, but isn't that just a small katalysator of the situation ? In almost every country there is a big polarisation between the city and the rural areas. Look at the Netherlands (rural and urban polarisation) for example with the political party "BBB" winning a huge amount of seats in 1 election but yet there you don't see coups like in Peru. Spain (central Spain gets more revenue than the other areas), Portugal, Germany( East and West predominently) also has the same problem. But I think this one is just a typical resource curse with a people like in Saudi Arabia and Russia have no significant democratic tradition but a social contract with the government.

@WingedAsarath Thanks, didn't know that! Assumed that since the conservatives have been in power they tried to please one of their most important voters: people in the rural areas like in the Netherlands and France.
