Peru's Political Apocalypse: Four Horsemen of Crisis

Peruvian Political Crisis: Ledesma's 'Four Horsemen' Analysis Sparks Debate Peru is facing a political crisis, with concerns growing about the rule of law and judicial independence. Legal scholar Marianella Ledesma has offered a stark assessment of the situation, describing four key actors as contributing to the problem. In a recent video, Ledesma labeled these actors as the "four horsemen of the apocalypse." Ledesma points to the Peruvian Congress, alleging it passes laws that openly favor criminality. She claims the Executive branch actively supports these laws, further exacerbating the issue. She also criticizes the Constitutional Tribunal, suggesting it approves these problematic laws without sufficient scrutiny. Finally, she accuses the National Justice Council of threatening judges who dare to challenge the system. "The Congress emits norms in favor of criminality, the Executive encourages these norms, the Constitutional Tribunal blesses them, and the JNJ threatens the judges," Ledesma stated in the video. This analysis has sparked significant debate in Peru. Critics argue that Ledesma's statements are overly dramatic and lack sufficient evidence. However, supporters claim her assessment accurately reflects the concerns of many Peruvians about the state of their democracy. The situation remains tense, with the potential for further political upheaval.
