✍️ Peru’s democracy is eroding not through aspiring autocrats but through exhaustion. Entrenched informality hollows out authority and turns governance into a marketplace of deals rather than a system of rules, @eljorobado.bsky.social argues in his op-ed. 🇵🇪🇵🇪

Contrapolarización “Las élites políticas insisten en el enfrentamiento y las tácticas son las mismas, pues se trata de estigmatizar al otro como corrupto o antidemocrático”.
